     So much is written about how to grow old gracefully. Do lots of exercise; eat a healthy diet, reduce stress (which in my own life has hardly been possible) cultivate friendships etc. This is wonderful advice. Yet, we seem to have forgotten the deeper aspect of living.

     The more experiences we weave into our being, the greater should be our insights. (This is why I advocate keeping diaries or writing memoir pieces) The more we encounter in life, our perceptions and awareness might grow deeper if we set that as an intent. But who in the world ever says, “I want to grow wise as I age!” When was the last time you heard, I want to grow beautiful with the wisdom I have attained?

      I am sharing this picture as a banner who clearly grew old with a great light in her soul. Great Aunt Flora who is holding a one year old rendition of me.

         She possesses that divine grace I want to bless you all with this year!
