A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
Here are all of my lifestyle posts featuring my family, travel, home decor, and inspirations.
The inspiration for this week’s blog post is Smooth Jazz saxophonist Boney James’s instrumental version of the song “Stop, Look, and Listen.” It is an excellent segue into discussing April as Jazz Appreciation Month. Thanks to the Smooth Jazz station on Sirius satellite radio, I can stop, look, and listen all day when I take […]
Every year, I hope to get to Washington, D. C., to be among the many tourists to see the nation’s most extensive collection of cherry blossom trees. On April 28, 2013, I was pumped for spring to be in the nation’s capital for my first Nike Women’s Half-Marathon. That is not exactly how I planned […]
For as long as I can remember, I like tea parties. Perhaps it’s the inner girly girl in me. There’s something special about indulging in a spot of tea. Don’t we all want to have an air of sophistication and indulge in afternoon tea? I know I do; my great friend Cynthia, my daughter, and […]
Lights, Camera, Bloom! Celebrate the Movies at the Philly Flower Show. For the last 22 years, I’ve chosen all the different modes of transportation to get to the annual Philadelphia Flower Show. I drove, took the rails, and planned an organized bus trip to the Philadelphia Flower. These trips involved anyone accompanying me, my children, […]
I remember my first day as a pharmaceutical sales rep with AstraZeneca over 17 years ago. In 1998, I temporarily relocated to Da’Burgh, Pittsburgh. My accommodations included a one-bedroom apartment in North Hills near the regional office of AstraZeneca. Why? The training included not days, not just weeks, but three months of face-to-face classroom study […]
Dress Code Every four years, I take a political plunge during the election or re-election of the governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Last week, hubby and I attended the newly elected Tom Wolf’s “Let’s Get Started” themed inaugural celebration at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center. Interestingly enough, the governor requested a low-key event […]
For the last two years, the federal holiday of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday reminds me of when I launched my blog, The Age of Grace. Like Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous speech, “I Have A Dream,” too. However, my dream is to inspire, connect, and remind women over the age of fifty that we can age […]
You can always tell when it’s the beginning of a new year. There are endless television commercials for weight loss, gym memberships, and new ways to tackle and keep resolutions. I gave up doing New Year’s resolutions years ago; I found better success utilizing vision boards. Check out my story, and I am answering the […]
The Final Course for 2014 No more counting down to Christmas; the holiday season is officially upon us and perhaps over by the time you read this post. Now that I am no longer knee-deep in holiday preparations, I am onto the final course of enjoying time with family and friends. I purposely plan to […]
As the year 2014 closes out, on the horizon, I see new visions and dreams that abound for the year 2015. This time of the year, I like to reflect upon the goals that I set forth with my vision boards. To remind you, a vision board is a tool that I use to help […]
