Is it possible for a woman in her 50’s to lose weight and change her body shape?

Is it possible for a woman in her 50’s to reinvent her career?

Is it possible for a woman in her 50’s to take everything she has learned in the first half and use it to make the second half even better?

Once more I turn to my blog as an outlet for my life’s quests. My priorities have changed and my perspective has most definitely changed.  My children are learning to adult (yes, I do like to use that word as a verb) and I have been promoted from Family Manager to more of a Senior family Consultant.  With this new job title, I am enjoying more freedom which at times breeds some indecision.  How do I want to spend the second half of my life…if I am lucky enough to enjoy another 50 years?

Agism, sexism, body shame are topics that I really never thought I would write about.  I have always known that these topics are important and that they are real, but I had never truly experienced them until recently.  As a single woman in my 50’s my career choices, compensation and incentives packages are becoming more limited and my body seems to be expanding without limits. Love has also been somewhat elusive and complicated, just to throw that in the mix. Yet, I feel wiser, more efficient and more creative than ever!

Delicious Perspective has been going in fits and starts for the past 7 years.  Life gets busy and my paying gigs come and go but I always seem to circle back to my blog.  I have written about travel, food, design and other topics that I found interesting.  I have learned how much work it is to keep a blog going and to get people to actually read it.  I have lost all of my work more than once and started over.  I keep coming back for more. I hope to answer my own questions and continue to learn from a Delicious Perspective.
