Like many of us, until my forties, I had gone through life feeling rather invincible. Not only was it inconceivable that something bad could ever happen to me, even my very mortality seemed suspect. Then, when I started feeling creaks and aches in bones I hadn’t thought about since anatomy class in school, it made me reluctantly concede that I actually was mortal – or even worse – getting older.

Yet, now, as I close in on fifty, (pass fifty) I’ve made an even more shocking discovery: I just don’t care. I’m learning that there is so much that is surprisingly, gloriously and wondrously liberating about the half-century mark.
“One in five women and one in six men in this country suffer from depression at this time. And the only reason there are fewer men is that men are less likely to admit there’s a problem and seek diagnosis.

” Women also are more likely when seeing their physician to be handed a script for depression and or anxiety and a pat on the head from her Doc saying “this too shall pass.)

What’s more while no one has ever sung from the rooftops on turning 50 – we, the unhappy breed reaching that age these days, appear to have the ageing angst worse than any generation before us. Our roles have changed, no longer does a women stay at home most are out working, caring for a parent or grandchildern and making an impact in the world.

 To be exact, there are four ages we all feel. Our chronological age; our biological age – everyone’s body decays at a different rate; our psychological age – how old we feel; and finally our social age – how other people see us. Put simply, we worry far more than our parents ever did about how old others think we are. Victims of the cult of youth we helped set in motion, we have grown up in the fond assumption that age will never wither us. Encouraged by consumerism, we have cheerily embraced the idea that association with objects will facilitate endless regeneration. I’m still vibrant, we think, because I use Facebook, because I’ve got an iPod, because I mocked the winter by sporting a parka with a big furry hood. And then we discover that we have reached a point of chronology at which the very youth-obsessed society into which we have all bought blindly rejects us as past it.

Hey, we shout, I may be 50 but I can still download a ringtone to my mobile without the assistance of a teenager. (In my case I had to ask my Grandson to download “Dancing Queen” to my cell phone as my ringtone). I may be over the hill as some might say but my feet still move when I hear this song. I am still the “Dancing Queen.” So turn the sound up enjoy the song and DANCE! You are a “Dancing Queen”!

When a Soul has mastered the “three D’s” – discernment, discipline, and detachment. it is then that the individual realizes they are spirit having a human experience and not a human being having a spiritual experience.
Reincarnation works to strip them of false illusions so that they can see the perfection of their own creation by God (“Self Realization”) and how they have served/serve/will serve the Divine Plan (“God Realization”). For the evolved Soul knows that there is no “we” and “they”, no “friend” and “foe”. There are only Divine sparks of God all connected together and all separate at the same time.

There are only those who serve God and those who know His love. And “We” are “they”. My Mother taught me this long ago.

It is my belief as well as many others who are well versed on this subject matter that these’s souls made the choice to reincarnate at the same time in this era for this very purpose.
Anyone born in the USA between 1946 and 1964 belongs to The Baby Boomer Generation.The baby boomer generation is considered to be those born in the twenty or so years after World War Two ended, and the world at large saw a massive boom in the population as it recovered from the devastating effects of war on such a large scale.

More than a few women of the baby boomer generation members, and many of them have gone on to make a huge impact on the world they grew up in.

She’s not fooled into worshipping the cult of youth nor envious of it. She’s been 20-something, but she’s lived a lot more, learned a lot more. She’s gained wisdom and maturity and she’s not looking back. She’s secure in her sexuality, and knows the power of it. She knows who she is and what she is worth. She’s smart, savvy, and confident.

Who is today’s 50-something woman?

She’s you.
