A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
Here are all of my posts featuring health-related topics with tips for aging gracefully beyond the age of 50.
Go Fish Does anyone play cards anymore? Do you remember the card game “Go Fish” from childhood? Getting the proper nutrients for our body is like the card game Go Fish. As I recall, the strategy of the card game was to collect a set of four cards of the same kind, and the game […]
The death of a local woman in my town–who was relatively young at 53 years old–prompted me to revisit the topic of women’s heart health. This woman’s death (apparently of a heart attack) begs me to remind you that heart disease is not something that strikes older Caucasian men. We all should take this matter […]
Model Behavior What does it take for people to model behavior every day in all that we do? Why is it necessary to remind people to be kind and thoughtful to one another? Here at the Age of Grace, the focus is on many of the celebrated months, days, or weeks designated for health awareness, […]

More Than A Cold I don’t know about you but every winter I seem to learn about a new weather pattern, this year introduced the polar vortex. Perhaps this is not new terminology, and maybe since I have to travel for my job, I am always concerned about the weather. This weather event, as we […]
Give Your Skin the Brush Off Once again, Happy New Year! Welcome to 2014! It’s official: winter is here.
