I sat down with Silver Queen Beverly Kirkland last summer before I started my blog.
We chatted outside of her Brooklyn Brownstone and discussed the ups and downs of her gray journey through the years. I’ve said many times, we newbie Silver Sisters are late to the party and we are blessed to be on the cusp of the narrative towards aging and gray changing towards the positive instead of the age old stereotypes that accompany gray hair.

Aging Gracefully Through Faith, Confidence & Self Love As we age, embracing our natural beauty becomes an act of faith and self love. In a society that idolizes youth, embracing physical changes can be challenging. Let’s face it — the wrinkles are deepening, the skin...
Life after 50 is not an end but a beginning, an invitation to reinvent yourself and rediscover your purpose. Reinvention can start with the smallest of steps, like reflecting anew on your passions and interests. What have you always wanted to do but never had the time...
I just happen to be in town for the annual Block Party! It made me realize how much I miss my home town. The neighbors, the food, the excitement!
It was great seeing friends and family, and I’m still wondering how I got so much smaller than the grands in such a short time!!!😲
What a Blessing to be back for a minute.
Love you Brooklyn!

Got to do a little sightseeing and enjoy the beautiful weather in NYC with @mcguer22
We did a lot of walking, and spent some time in her beautiful Hudson Yards neighborhood. The city has changed a lot!!!

No other audio needed…
Staying in Park Slope and hopped on the trusty F train. Passed by the Bergen Street station where I lived for decades. Feeling warm and fuzzy and nostalgic. New York made me!!!

Back in Brooklyn for a few days, I had the chance to attend an exclusive introduction to Hilo, a brand-new blood pressure monitoring device that’s just being released.
Since many of you know I’ve been keeping a closer eye on my blood pressure, I was excited to learn about a device that can monitor readings around the clock and even share them directly with your doctor.
My reading was a little elevated today (a busy trip back to New York will do that!), but it was a good reminder to slow down and pay attention.
I even brought one home for my brother, so we’ll both be trying it out-so stay tuned.
Learn more at us.hilo.com.
Do you monitor your blood pressure regularly?

Most families don’t talk about care until they’re forced to.
I’ve learned that getting support isn’t about giving up independence—it’s often what helps people keep it.
As we age, most of us still want the same things: our routines, our homes, our favorite chair, our morning coffee, and the freedom to live life on our own terms.
That’s why I appreciate learning more about @homeinsteadinc and their personalized approach to helping older adults age safely and comfortably at home while maintaining their independence and dignity.
The conversation about aging doesn’t have to begin during a crisis. Sometimes the greatest gift we can give ourselves and the people we love is simply having the conversation before we need it.
Because aging well should still feel like living fully.

Finding yourself single again after 50 can feel overwhelming. The dating world may look nothing like it did in your younger years, but here’s the good news—it’s also an opportunity to experience love anew. As the old saying goes, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” At...
