Midlife is Often Connected to a Crisis…

Midlife is oftentimes connected to a crisis…  I had mine in my early 40’s while going through a divorce. When I was about to turn 50 and my crisis years behind me, I had a golden opportunity to pause, reflect, and hopefully inspire. My IG account “Confessions of a Superager” (and this blog) allows me to share some learnings I've picked up along the way. Consider it a public diary of my thoughts, opinions, and interests while navigating the course of midlife. My love for fashion and dressing up, traveling to new destinations, meeting up with friends - both old and new, sharing my modern blended family and all our adventures, make up what I like to call a “superager” lifestyle.

My superager way of life comes from a mindset of being confident about who I am and where I am today!  There is no denying aging, I just decided to be “super’ about it in all aspects of my life from waking up extra early to get my hour of exercise, planning my outfit for the day be it extra glam or extra lounge chic,  and most important of all, sharing the "extra" details of my daily life with all of you.  

Why confessions?  As I turned 50, it became imperative to be authentic, both about myself and with myself.  Keeping it real with all of you is like having a long conversation with an old friend. The bits and pieces may change, but the need to be genuine is constant.  I try to look for ways to explain the Why’s of my day. Why this outfit? Why this skincare/beauty product, what about working out makes me happy?  Why does my husband make me laugh? So many confessions, in a voice, so naturally mine. 

This midlife journey is exciting, surprising, and also, just evolving and if I were to sum it all up it would read as “Confessions of a super ager going through midlife in style”.
