Don't let ageism define you. How to enjoy life at every stage
"Why is it an embarrassment to have old-looking skin? Why can’t I have wrinkles and grey hair and own it? This is what the body does. It ages. So then why are we not meant to look our age? Or in my case even older! I have decided to take a stand and turn the tides. I am claiming my age and my place in the surf line and voicing my truth. We are allowed to age." - Polly Green
We Are Allowed to Age: Why I Don’t Care That I Look Old
As a woman gathers more years she becomes more bold, which is not the same as brave: brave is jumping in. Bold is jumping in led by angels. In age, we learn to know the difference, for certain, older is bolder. - Dr. Clarisssa Pinkola Esters
The key to aging is to not mourn what's lost but to celebrate what remains. - Marc Middleton

Women get more beautiful as they grow older. Not less.
Female youth is only prized in modern culture because it doesn't represent as much of a threat spiritually to anyone who is frightened of divine feminine power.
As women grow and mature, they call in stronger forces of sacred feminine wisdom. They vibrate with the creative power of their stories. They are more of a force to be reckoned with.
They see more, know more, feel more. They put up with a lot less bullshit.
When women are trained into thinking there is something fundamentally wrong with getting older, and are coerced into spending money, energy and power investing in 'slowing the signs of ageing', an enormous vault of divine love is lost.
Just think what would happen if all the women in the world started loving themselves even more with every year that passed.
Perhaps a total revolution would occur. - Sophie Bashford
