I have to admit this thought came about after seeing some 80's women singers who are now in their 50's. I thought wow now alot of women want to be head turners but what about when you hit the 50 mark. In the back of my mind I wonder if I'll still get "The Look" who doesn't, at one point or another.

It's not all about being thin and looking good, but there's some sort of stigma attatched to term "aging" which is why I gather that people now say "aging gracefully." As a Black woman I'd be lying if I said that it doesn't inspire and motivate me when I see older Black women who literally look like they haven't aged at all. I know many things affect how your body ages. The main thing being genetics but anything can alter genetics for the better or worse. How have you lived? Did you consume large amounts of alcohol which is damaging to the skin? Were you a heavy drug user and did lots of partying? Even stress and depression is enough to do damage to your appearance.

I get a little concerned about some of these things sometimes, even to the extent of being paranoid about what's to come. There are many things I try to avoid to slow up the process. As I stated it's not that I need to be extra super fin skinnye at 50 but it says alot about you and how you have viewed and treated your body over the years.

And seeing my older peers who have taken care of themselves intrigues me a bit. It also might possess the kind of life you have lived and what you have been through. I've been through many things but sheesh I don't want to look like train wreck after the trials and tribulations have passed.

About a year ago I was mistaken to be alot younger than what I was. My client couldn't believe I had a 10year old (whom was 10 at the time) daughter. Hopefully in 20 years I'll be mistaken for a 30 year old : ).
I'd like to also add that I can definitely see God's Love Grace and Mercy around some of these women I have spoken about. It's amazing what God's covering can do. If this is something new for you to hear then, He truly keeps his people.
