The New Visions Blog!⏳

From Age-ing to Sage-ing book and attitude!

Hi y'all and hope you're doing ok with all the hot weather, fires, hurricane season and whatever is going on.🙏
We sure live in complicated times and it's important to do " whatever you need to do to take care of yourself" That was the words of Leanne M. a very talented Ballerina/teacher,I studied with in Eugene OR.
In that context she meant, drinking water and staying hydrated. While doing dance positions for example, we could choose to stand on our toes (as far as able) or on the balls of our feet.

In the context of the book, the lesson is so far ( as I'm still reading it!) that those of us that are 50 years old have worked and put so much effort into the material side of life. Raising families and such. Now the focus on life ( 50 and above!) should be more spiritual and sharing our experiences in life to benefit others.

In life, we get to those ages and see our limitations as we get older. It's not hard to feel as if " we aren't needed as much and wonder where our place in life is". Trying to recreate ourselves for this new stage in life.

Yes, we are all getting older! In society and media, youth is pushed because it sells! Yet many people are older and it seems like over the past few years, Elders are starting to get more respect and it's about time!

Being more spiritual can mean many things to different people. It doesn't necessarily mean more religious.

Spirituality can be a moment enjoying a beautiful colorful sunset or being thankful for a majestic tree and the shade it provides. It is a personal reality. Over the years I've experienced many faiths. In each, I've learned how the core beliefs are similar.

It is something that could bring people together and to me that's a good thing! In the case of being an elder, it's a good thing. There's so much division in the world today, there always has been. I believe in bringing people together and looking for how alike we are and what we can learn from each other to make a better world.

Any thoughts 🤔 💭? I always appreciate your feedback 🤠 😸!
Until we meet again
Stay safe
Be well and happy! 🙏☯️✡️💒🌹⏳⌚
