MAKE FRIENDS WITH SANTA...

DESTINATION AGELESS

I think this photo of my Aunty driving with Santa Claus exemplifies agelessness. Even Santa has fallen in love with her. Make that every Santa we see. And we see many. As it turns out, Auntyand I have an immeasurable amount of Christmas Spirit. Each December we make our way across New England to as many Christmas events as we can with Aunty usually wooing every Santa in sight. Joy truly emanates from our hearts and sometimes we find ourselves dancing in the street, once with Santa himself! We always bring our own music and our own stash of Tea (as mentioned in an earlier post, we prefer loose tea, but tea bags for the road). We wave to people. We smile at people. And hug old friends when we meet. All of this helps keep our blood pressure down and our spirits up. This past weekend Aunty and I were strolling down the street to Darlene Love’s Christmas Time is Here…The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. You really can’t get much happier and any more Ageless then that. Try it. All you need is some of your favorite Holiday songs, two AA batteries for a small tape player, or a charged I-pod with speakers, some cheery tea bags, and a winter coat. See what happens when you put one foot in front of the other with these accouterments. Experiencing pure fun like this actually makes that number that we refer to as our age SHRINK.

Bonus feature: When strolling, shopping, and out and about, try drinking your favorite beverage from one of those festive Starbuck’s cups, without spending three dollars. Just give them a quarter for a cup of hot water and drop a Christmas tea bag in. Try Sugarplum Spice, or Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride from Celestial Seasonings. The aroma alone is worth any effort. I de-age just by looking at the pretty boxes. Besides, I happen to know it’s what Elfs drink. And have you ever seen an old or unhappy Elf? I met one once. And don’t worry I have the picture to PROVE it! Things take a bit longer to develop up there in the North Pole. But I promise to share it with you soon. Until then….BE Merry, or try to for five minutes a day. And if it’s still a struggle, come back to look at the picture of our Ageless Aunty hobnobbing with Santa. If that doesn't make you smile, well….keep reading this blog, something will! That is my gift to you.

Ageless

We don't look 127 do we?

My mother always told me I could be anything I wanted. Now that I am all grown up I have decided that I want to be Ageless. You know…no number after my name, feeling good when I look in the mirror, believing in infinite energy and possibilities…. Having the attitude that everything is good, or will be again.

Take the above picture of me with Jerry Stiller. If this were a magazine or newspaper, next to our names would surely be a number… our age. I have never understood this. What does it matter? Who cares? Jerry looks great and I know he is older then a lot of us. Since I feel good too, and have often been told that I look much younger then the number of years I have been alive, I thought I would share some or my own secrets and tips while giving myself motivation to keep up all the fun and good living. I have been promised by a wise old guru that if I keep up I will be kept up! I believe him. Old Gurus don’t usually lie.

I also have some major inspiration which you will be seeing though out this new blog. It comes in the form of a five foot two, blonde hair, green eye, beauty…my great “Aunty” Helen. She is the most Ageless woman I have ever seen. No one ever guesses her age. She may have been born in the early part of the last century, but she hasn’t slowed down a bit. She spends her life just being happy. Nothing is blocking her from being ageless. As a matter of fact, because she remains a benevolent vessel of good energy, she is gravitating towards everything good (including agelessness) every second. Since we live together I know all her secrets and will share more of them. But for starters, I have not ever heard Aunty complain about anything. That scores big points in the game of Ageless pursuit.

I am a living testimony, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that Agelessness has nothing to do with how much money you have, or in my case, don’t have. One of my sister’s handbags cost more then I make in a year! Yet, I probably have more fun and more friends then Diddy does. I can honestly assure you that if I can stay Ageless (there continue to be some pretty significant challenges in my life) so can you. Even if you have five kids you can become Ageless. It just comes down to how important it is to you. For me it means freedom to just be yourself and love your whole self all the time, every minute of the day. If you go within (where real beauty lies) you will never go without. And good news everyone…. The well is endless…There is more light inside then you will ever need! The path to Agelessness may not always be so easy, but every time you smile you are de-aging, even if it’s a single cell! Start by simply paying attention to your breath. Focusing on the breath allows you to put yourself at ease, and feel the miracle of life itself.

Follow this blog and I will instruct you from here, tell you how I hooked up with wonderful Jerry Stiller, Share Aunty’s beauty secrets, and post pictures showing all the fun we are having….even at our AGE, which you will clearly see is AGELESS! If I have anything to say about it, there will never be a number next to my name, unless it’s how many times I laughed, prayed, or helped someone during the day!
Stay tuned….
