You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life. -- Coco Chanel
I had difficulty coming to terms with the humbling experience of aging when I turned 50. Time had bestowed on me many things that I was grateful for, but the change in my appearance was not one of them. I believed, for as far as I could remember, that the characteristics of experience and endurance were beautiful----but there I was not being able to accept it as my own. I eventually did. I would often asked myself "would I give what I know now to be younger?" The answer was always the same--absolutely not. The physical reality of aging goes hand in hand with the treasures we have--wisdom and knowledge.
I wear the signs of never coming undone not matter what life threw my way. THIS IS MY NEW BEAUTIFUL.
I invite you to join me on this adventure to create 50 beautiful portraits of 50 women over the age of 50.
Through the 50 Women OVER 50 project, we can…
-
Show that beauty doesn’t diminish with age.
-
Highlight your character, wisdom and spirit.
-
Tell your story about what it means to be an older woman in today’s world.
-
Celebrate your beauty and appreciate every scar, every line and every grey hair.
