Embracing Yourself in a Youth Oriented Culture

Embracing Yourself in a Youth Oriented Culture

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 is sagging, and the waist is expanding. For many of us...

“Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.” —Proverbs 31:30

Then and now.
Y’all know the 70’s was my decade, and I think I took more photos in the 1970s than any other decade. Each decade represents another phase of life. This was one of self-growth and exploration, not to mention the 70s disco vibe and unforgettable style.
I look back and smile, feeling grateful for Then and Now🙏🏽❤️
Thanks for stopping by.

Grateful for all things. That’s all.🙏🏽
What have you been complaining about lately and have you been focusing on what you don’t have rather than being grateful for what you do have? When you look at the rest of the world, we are truly blessed. I’m so glad God saw fit that the path of my life has led me here. I hope to inspire someone today.
It’s easy to get caught up in the fallacy of perfection. Just look here on social media and everyone’s life looks fabulous every single day, but trust me- it’s not, no one is perfect except God.
Just a random post. Have a blessed day y’all!

Do you take things and your life for granted?
Are you grateful for the things you have?
Who says getting older has to be boring? I visited Tony Yanito’s Gripstone Climbing Gym recently. He’s a legendary professional rock climber, and at over 60 he’s going strong keeping Prescott,AZ fit with his gym. On this day, there were some climbers in their late 60s and 70s showing their skills and I was impressed!
Gonna put on my climbing gear and do it one day. Tony said I can start with the kids wall!!😲😂 That’s about right!!🧗🏽‍♂️
If you’re in the area, check this place out!!!

It was a bittersweet trip to Florida visiting my big brother Tony, who is bedridden from 
a stroke, and my sister-in-law who is showing signs of dementia, all under the care of my wonderful niece, Rasheeda @rasheeda.io  I got to experience firsthand her life as a caregiver, and I was glad to be 
there as their new home was blessed at the housewarming. In all that she is juggling, she found the time to invite us to a Yankees’s Spring Training Event in Tampa. She is a Fordham U alum, so we got to steal away for a few hours to enjoy the event with her.
I was mostly in the moment, and didn’t get to create much content. Sometimes it’s that way. No regrets.

My niece is so amazing and beautiful. They are so blessed to have her care for them. May the Lord bless her GREATLY for honoring them in this way. We should all be so lucky! 

Deuteronomy 5:16  Says
“‘Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.”

May it always go well with her, dear Lord🙏🏽

Hello, my name is…
Adelina a/k/a Fly Granny Bk
I thought I’d reintroduce myself because it’s been a while and I have some new followers.
I’m a baby boomer, child of the 60’s and the 70’s and I love the 80s.
I’m Bi-racial, Black and Filipina-Blasian, or Afro-Asian, way before Tiger Woods made it famous.
I’m an eternal Brooklynite now living in Arizona.
I reinvented myself after decades as a designer in NY, and embraced social media in 2019. I have 2 amazing sons, a 
daughter-in-love, and two amazing grandchildren. 
I found love again and remarried in 2022 at the age of 65. It’s never too late to find love or to start over.

This is your cue to Spring forward and follow your dreams.

My mother used to say, if not now-when? And if not you, then Who?
Might as well be YOU!!!

Thank you to all of my followers, old and new.🙏🏽

My goal is to inspire you to live positively, vibrantly, have faith in God, and go after your dreams!!!

More 70s…
I think I took more photos in the 1970s than any other decade, up until now, that is.
It was such a creative time in vintage NYC for everyone it seems-musicians, artists, photographers all got their groove on. Being immersed in a creative environment at art school provided me with the wonderful opportunity to be both photographed and drawn by my fellow students. I can’t remember who took these!
All great memories.
