The Ten Commandments for Being a Beautiful Ageless Woman

1. Thou shalt dare to be fabulous!

thyself to other women is like comparing a lotus to a rose.

3. Thou shalt seek out and find
those role models of women who accept aging as their ally.

to youth can only lead to disappointment. Detaching from it opens the
pathway to self acceptance.

5. Thou shalt know that opening
to thy dreams is the way to discover what the Universe has in store for
thee.

6. Thou shalt rise above society’s
youthful ideal and know that wrinkles and lines add softness and depth
of character.

7. Thou shalt protect they beauty
by allowing purpose and intimacy to be central in they life.

8. Thou shalt know that looking
great is wonderful but a rich inner life manifests outwardly as true grace
and beauty.

9. Thou shalt rejoice in uniting
with Nature, allowing her to season thee with wisdom, insight and understanding.
She teaches thee to accept a design far grander than any of thy dreams.

10. Thou shalt keep going, going,
and going…with a lightness of being.

Trust the heart that has loved you all you life.
