“Embrace aging out of being seen as a sex object.
It’s so freeing to not worry about your attractiveness as perceived by others anymore.
I’ve realized what a drain of my time and energy that was and how insecure it made me.
Trying to fight aging will just make you miserable.
Older bodies are beautiful just as they are.”

“Keep making friends.
My former boss (retired now, in her 60s) has a group of girlfriends.
They vacation together, go golfing, shopping, dining, etc.”
She didn’t want to be alone.
Most of her friends are married, but they have prioritized their friendships for decades.”

“Even though you’re an adult, remember to always keep the child you were nearby.
Its keeps life rich!”
“Read up on and familiarize yourself with employment law.
“Know the names of policies designed to protect you and the varied aspects of your identity.
Don’t be afraid to use ‘serious’ language to get to have your boundaries respected.
HR banks on all of us being uninformed to avoid conducting official investigations and bad culture.
Now I have the knowledge/language to nip problems in the bud before they develop into something bigger!”

“Don’t be afraid to edit your life.
“verify your car, mortgage, content insurance coverage, etc.
For the few extra dollars it costs, it’s worth it.”
Read your policies and check that you’re covered well!
Our mortgage insurance only covered 50% of the mortgage rate per month when we were off work.
It was the same thing we made a slight over sight on that when instating our policy.”

“Talk about your perimenopause symptoms with friends your own age and younger women.
I was completely blind-sided when they started in my early 40’s and NO ONE was talking about them.
Forewarned is forearmed, I say.”
Your needs, your dreams, your aspirations.
you’re able to’t be the best you unless you put yourself first.
This applies to all aspects of your life, including your family life.
If you don’t take care of yourself first, you lose a part of yourself.
Be your own advocate.”
