Write the Rest of your Story… Make it “Awesome”
There's an old saying that "tomorrow is the 1st day of the rest of your life"... and I believe it's true! Many of our youthful dreams we once had can be sparked today with a new outlook. Remember when you were in your 20's and you had big plans that you were going to...
Let your Light Shine, Starting with your Hair
Hey Awesome over 50's... My hair is getting lighter, or truth is... silvery-whiter. I've actually made the decision to let my silver locks shine. It wasn't an easy decision and I admit it was a bit of a process but I'm almost there. We're lucky that the new look in...
Winter… Keep Calm and Trudge On
Hey Awesome over 50's... For all of us who are experiencing a Winter of snow, sleet, freezing rain and blizzards I say "Keep Calm and Trudge On"! When I look at my little dog dancing in the snow (even though he looks kind of miserable in this photo) it inspires me to...

My favorite beach, and why I love it
Hey Awesome over 50's ... my beach is an oasis. I found it about 12 years ago and it out-shines all others. Now even though a resort actually owns it, in my mind it's my own personal escape. I have a photo of my beach on my wall. As I look out the window on a bleak...
Even Going out for a Coffee can be Awesome!
Hey Awesome over 50's, sometimes if we just decide to get dressed up a bit and go out for a mini outing it can turn into something memorable. I remember receiving these two lattes a while ago. My hubby and I needed to get away from all the "stuff" going on and chose...
I Love my Pet
Hey Awesome over 50's, I'd like to talk for a moment about our pets. In my case I have a little dog named Hurricane but I could be talking about your cat, hamster or budgie. I believe that most pets give much more than they take. The minute I come home my little dog...
Mini 12 Hour Get-Away
Hi Awesome over 50's, now that many of us are"right back at it" for the start of the year how does soaking in a hot tub or lazily swimming in a warm indoor pool sound for some rest and relaxation? Did you know that many hotel chains allow day-passes for their pool...
Cold Climates Call for Big Furry Hats
Hey Awesome over 50's, I suggest that everyone who lives in the Northern climates should have a big furry hat for the Winter. The minute I tuck my head and ears into one of these beauties I feel I can brave the harshness of the cold and look kind of fashionable to...
New Year, New Choices
As we embark on a New Year many of us "over 50's" look hesitantly into the future. I, myself know I'm in the middle of the sandwich generation with an elderly parent to care for plus two grown kids at home. I need to take care of my family, the finances, the...
I love getting cozy, watching my favorite Christmas movie? What’s yours?
I believe as many of us over 50 get older we try to set aside more time from the hustle and bustle of Christmas buying , selling and commercialism to kick back and relax a bit more. One of my Christmas rituals is to cozy up on the couch with a warm drink in my...

Who says you can't rock a hoody. tee and jeans when you're over 50?! Now I'm not talking about looking like a 20 year old by adding 3 large tattoos. I'm talking about finding a great white tee shirt, hoody ( a white one goes great with jeans) white sneakers and...
