65 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN – WHOA!
I swear, I blinked and turned 65! Time just keeps ticking away, and here I am…. officially old enough for Medicare! Can someone please tell me how that happened so fast? It’s really unbelievable to me!
I was just recently chatting with my bestie about aging. We see so many women on Instagram, talking about embracing your age, aging gracefully, loving every wrinkle, and celebrating every change….. whatever! And while that’s all great, let’s be real…. IT IS HARD!
SHOP MY LOOK
Yes, I’m in for the fight, and I’ll always be trying to defy my age. That’s not a bad thing. That’s called doing all I can every day to be my best. Sort of like a competition with myself. I’ve always been that way. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy to watch my skin lose its youthfulness, my metabolism slow down, and my energy levels shift. Some days I feel unstoppable, and other days I wish I could pretend time wasn’t moving so fast!
I’ve always been the type of person who will fight to look and be my best. Pushing myself, striving for excellence, and taking care of my body and mind have always been priorities. But now, I realize that finding a way to do that with more self-love is something I need to work on more. Accepting where I am while still working toward my goals….. that’s the REAL challenge!
But here’s what I do know….. self-love and acceptance are the most important pieces of this journey. The more I focus on what my body CAN do instead of what it used to do, the better I feel. The more I celebrate the wisdom and confidence that comes with 65 years of life, the more empowered I become!

So, how do YOU do it? How do you “embrace” the changes that come with aging? How do you EMBRACE your trips around the sun? I’d love to hear your thoughts because we’re all aging! One thing’s for sure, I may be 65, but I’m still showing up every day, still pushing forward, and still finding JOY in this wild and wonderful journey called LIFE! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me….. and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!
Happy Birthday! Sixty five is not so bad. I am now 70 and embracing silver hair (finally) and going skydiving next month! Live your life and always be happy girl…..remember, age is just a number.
Rene’ hello! SKYDIVING???? That is the coolest thing… at least for someone else! Have the best time and good luck! And YES, age is just a number! THANK YOU for stopping by! XO
Happy Birthday Shauna!! You keep being you Girl. Love your posts and great pics. You sparkle and show your love for life. Yep, age is just a number.
I’m a few years older and still looking in the mirror and going ‘what!?’ where did those years go. Lol
I firmly believe that taking care of yourself is a necessity, not a luxury. Although let’s face it, some days are easier than others. And Rene’ you have a fun skydiving. We’ll cheer from the ground for you!
Have a fabulous weekend all! Enjoy.
