Kathy just joined our community....As soon as I read her post in the discussion forum, I fell in LOVE with her energy...
What an inspiring woman she is.... Her profile address is www.braveheartwomen.com/imaginebeyond

Here is what she said:

"Hi, I'm Kathy. I live in Oregon and I look forward to finding ever more reasons to be joyful.

In a very few days I'll be celebrating my 87th birthday. Why am I telling you this? I want you to know that the presence of this inspiring group of richly empowered women (and my freedom to be a member) is as welcome a birthday gift as any I can imagine. It is of course a vision that my mother and grandmother, along with millions of women before them, would not even have dared raise to the level of a pipe dream. How blessed we are to be on this beautiful earth NOW.

When I observe myself in a mirror, it is obvious that there are plenty of wrinkles to confirm my chronological age. What I do NOT find, and intend never to find, is a "wrinkled" outlook on Life! BraveHeart Women help one another avoid such an outlook as we support one another with courage, love, generosity of spirit, peace, and wisdom. As we do this, we can expect to see these qualities expanding all around us.
So . . . let's go for it with enthusiasm, "kids"! Each one of us is wonder-full!"

Here is to your Brave Heart Kathy,

with Love,

Ellie

I loved the attitude at 87. I just attended a funeral of a 97 year old man. He had the same spirit and even told "Ole and Sven" and "Ole and Lena" jokes. My grandmother lived to be 97 years old. As a young married woman in the early 1900's, her husband was gone for long periods of time at sea. In those days women did not go out unescorted at night. So, she dressed up as a man and strolled around town. She had a pioneering spirit and the wonderful idea of going against the conventions of the time.
I want to thank each one of you who responded with such warmth and welcoming love to my post. This has been an overwheming experience for me, one which was totally unexpected even though I DO know what a wonderful group this is!

Namaste all,
Kathy

wow...that is so beautiful!!!
No emotional wrinkles! What a GREAT concept!

Kathy, that's beautiful!

So many "guru's" talk about our chronological age and our emotional age, etc - but I don't think it's ever sounded so true as coming from someone such as you, Kathy!

Ellie - thank you for bringing this to our attention. With so many new members its tough to keep up on all of these great posts! I feel empowered every time I am on this site!

NRG to all!

Ellie, I too love Kathy's attitude. I know something of what it takes to be in love with life without a "wrinkled" perspective. I'm 71, and though I have to take extra care of my body as I get older, Life just seems more magical and miraculous.

Dear Ellie and Kathy,

I feel so grateful to be here. I love the energy....NEVER TOO OLD...is what I say...its goofy to think there is an age that we stop.......clearly, you are not stopping....I love that...I hear people say "i'm too old" or this or that.....its hogwash..its a choice...I hear women like you Kathy....who make a different choice.....to keep living, loving, learning. I am honored to be a part of this community with women such as you, as well as the many, many women I have met thus far. and as you said..."let's go for it with enthusiasm, "kids" I am ALL IN!!!

Love,

Debra:-x
Hi kathy,

Wow, Ellie, what a remarkable BraveHeart lady!

Kathy, you are obviously not 87 in any other way except for the number of years you have spent on this earth!

So happy to have you with us here in our BraveHeart Women Community! You are like a breath of fresh air!
Love your enthusiasm! You are 'wonder-full!' :-x
