Passion is in Fashion!

By Shirley W. Mitchell

Successful living in the second half of life means inspiring new heights of experience as we become more! Passion is certainly in fashion!

The journey for the newest realm of almost 80 million baby boomers takes us into uncharted waters; however, style and passion for life over 50 is a time to enjoy, blend, and savor the flavors of life. The graying years may be the very best time to feel the texture of the fabric of life. Every fabulous fabric has its own uniqueness. Each person is definitely unique! You stand in your own light. Make it Shine!

I think of a Godly passionate woman as lace over steel. Her femininity, softness, warm heart, reminds me of the intricacy of lace. Her strength, prayer power, and ability could be compared to steel.

Velvet over steel definitely describes a Godly male. A man, who is gentle, kind, smooth, cool, gives me a feeling of velvet. Velvet is a rich fabric of silk, cotton, rayon – with a soft thick pile. Anything with a surface like that of velvet, for instance, the soft furry skin on a deer’ growing antlers. A man with great strength and character reminds me of steel. Steel is a hard tough metal composed of iron allowed with a small percentage of carbon, nickel, or chromium.

As men and women grow older we often capture the essence of the real person. We have the courage to let the real person God created shine through. We desire to follow our real passion.

LACE OVER STEEL women and Velvet over steel men learn to be tough and tender.

Don’t be afraid to give 100% to your passion! It comes from deep inside you. Your passions is really who you are. If you give complete abandonment to your passions you produce synergy, energy, and adrenalin.

This depth of passion calls you silently to a higher plain of living, because passion flows from the deep well of your soul.

Passion ignites passion. In July 1983, Dr. Ken Dychtwald ignited my passion for encouraging women over 50 to age outside the box with power, style, and vitality. I participated in his AGE WAVE CONFERENCE, in New York City. At this conference, I learned that the leading edge of the 76 million baby boomers would experience that big 50th birthday in the year 1996. This large number of baby boomers would unite with the senior boom (seniors who are living longer, better) to accumulate the largest number in history of people living over 50.

My focus for fourteen years as an author, speaker, columnist, radio host has been encouraging women over 50 to make the second half of life a celebration!

My book "Fabulous after 50 - Finding Fulfillment for Tomorrow”, is now on the market to encourage the 12,000 baby boomers turning 50 everyday.

My second book in the series, "Sensational after 60 - Loving Life All Over Again”, is now on the market to encourage people over 60 to love the long life you have been given.

My internet radio show, "Aging Outside the Box" sends the good news of successful aging all over the world wide web.

As the baby boomers turn 70, my next book in the series, SEXY AFTER 70 will be available.

Following my passion has given me great joy, and a feeling that I have made a difference as America turns gray.

I am thrilled that passion is in fashion!
 

My Passions now include "The Shirley System" - a Website System consisting of 11 Websites and 11 BLOGS, and my Radio Show, "Aging Outside the Box" that we use now to spread my passion, dreams, and life goals through the Internet to aging people all over the world. My Faith, Writing, Books and Websites are the tools I use to market and promote "Passion" World Wide, showing all ages how to Discover...Aging Outside the Box to Live with Power, Style, and Vitality through Passion and Grace.
