Yes Michell, age brings about a shift in our perception of who we are and why we matter. We begin to recognize that if we’re not well, in the holistic sense of the word, then we can’t help anyone else to be well. Once we get clear on that, life gets less stressful and we can focus more on being healthy and happy. Great to be back in the blogging world with you!

I LOVE your manifesto!! I’d have to say ‘self-care is not selfish’ is my favorite (although I love them all), lol. I say this to women all the time! As a matter of fact, it’s one of the lessons in my personal development course. We as women selflessly take care of those around us and wear it like a badge of honor (not that taking care of our loved ones isn’t honorable), BUT we can’t continue to do it and neglect ourselves in the meantime. There has to be a balance. If not, we won’t be available to do anything for anyone, because we’ve worn ourselves out. I think it’s a lesson we embrace as we get older, and not concern ourselves with whether anyone likes it or not, lol!

I’ll be fifty next year, so I’m into a healthy lifestyle. So I’m looking forward to getting some great health tips from you! Again, congrats Ali…blessings to you my friend!

I think that’s the one I cling to most, too, Kesha! It helps that it’s big and bold and in the center of the manifesto too! 🙂
