Age, Wisdom and Chocolate

Welcome to Age, Wisdom and Chocolate

This blog was borne of my coming of age 😉   Yep! I turned 50 in 2017 and since then I’ve felt a little different. It’s not a physical feeling like having aches and pains, but more mental, like I’m very aware that I’m in the second half of my life. It’s the fall of 2018 as I start writing this blog and to be honest, I’ve only just now come to understand how I feel about turning 50… and I’m loving it!!! I feel this sense of excitement with a little bit of urgency underneath it all. Like I really want to do the things I always wanted to do, eat the way I should, spend my time doing what fuels my fire. I look forward to getting up in the morning and figuring out what I can do to live my best life. With this new-found enthusiasm comes a desire to make a difference, to accomplish goals, both big and small.

With that said, it seems like a bigger change must have happened in my life than just turning 50. Well, 51 now. But no, it’s all the same: I’m married to the same awesome man. My two teens are just as busy as ever, navigating their own life changes as they march toward adulthood. We even live in the same house. No, I can confidently say that what has stirred this feeling inside me is my starting the next 50 years of my life and wanting it to be all that it can be!

And exactly what am I passionate about now that I’m 51? I knew you’d ask. I’m VERY interested in these next 50 years being FANTASTIC, so nutrition, wellness, relationships, money, fashion for my changing bod, skin-care and make-up for my changing skin, raising teens, aging parents and all the wonderful things I have to figure out now that I’ve arrived here.

It’s so lovely to have you here. If you’re interested in this 50+ journey too, then grab a coffee and have a look around. Feel free to comment too so we can get to know each other better.
