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...
I’m pulling back the curtain on what it’s really like to be an influencer who loves flaunting silver locks and living life to the fullest.
The world is full of opportunities to rediscover yourself in the most unexpected places.
The God who made the universe knows MY name and has plans to prosper ME?! Any way you slice it, that means I am too blessed to be stressed!
Growing up in the Brooklyn housing projects wasn’t just a chapter in my life; it was the foundation upon which I built my dreams and aspirations.

In case you need some ideas on what to pack for your upcoming tropical vacation, look no further. 🌴☀️
#thisis69 and I still wear shorts and tube tops. At this age, I wear whatever I want and whatever I feel comfortable in. Confidence has no age limit, and neither does personal style.
For my birthday, I wore the flowy 2-piece print set, and because it was so hot I kept my style cool, comfy, and effortless. This silver hair journey has taught me that age-positive style is all about dressing for joy, freedom, and feeling good in your own skin.
Fashion over 60, over 65, and yes — over 69 — can still be bold, fun, stylish, and youthful. Don’t let anyone tell you there’s an expiration date on confidence, crop tops, or tropical vacation outfits. Wear the shorts. Wear the bright prints. Wear what makes you feel alive. ✨
What I packed:
3 tube tops
2 woven tops
3 pr shorts
3 Sundresses
3 pr wide leg pants
2 Caftans
1 pr sneakers
1 black sandal
1pr fisherman sandals
1 pr flip flops
1 hoodie
1 white sweater

Thanks for stopping by! Share this with someone you know that’s going on a tropical vacation and needs ideas.
Sunday Service.
God’s handiwork was evident in Bali, and it’s all around us everywhere if we just take a moment to look up wherever we are.
I’m thankful for all blessings, and for being able to travel and see different places. What are you thankful for?

When you’re younger, you don’t usually worry about things like ingrown toenails. But as you get older you’re walking around fine, and then BAM, they start hurting. And somehow, when your feet hurt, your whole body hurts.
Sure, when you go to get a regular pedicure, they can address it temporarily, but they always come back. But now it was affecting everything. My toes were hurting even while wearing sneakers, and so I had to take matters into my own hands or my own feet I should say- as it were.
The procedure was pretty painless and the only thing I felt was the pinch of the needles on either side of my big toe to numb them. It was over before I knew it. The experience was worse in my mind than IRL.
So what was the procedure you ask? The Dr. removed the ingrown edge of the nail and, destroyed the nail root so it won’t grow back. I’m OK with that.
We older folks are doing OK out here in these IG streets, but sometimes getting older sucks!!Not gonna lie😲🤣
But we keep it moving, and we Stay Fly!!!
If you need to get it done, just go get it done!
Ahhhh the 70s!
It was a time when we wore our best outfit to class, to work, to dinner, to nowhere special at all. Platforms clicking on city sidewalks, palazzos catching the breeze, and enough confidence to think nothing of changing trains in heels before a full workday. We didn’t call it “aesthetic.” We just got dressed and lived our lives. I can hear the soundtrack of 70s music in my head right now.
Back then in Brooklyn, everybody had somewhere to be and wanted to look good getting there. Running for the train, in thise crazy heels, mind you…music blasting from somebody’s window, corner stores, summer block heat, long days in Manhattan, and somehow still making it home looking fly. New York in the 70s had grit, style, hustle, attitude—and if you came up in that era, you know there was nothing soft about it. We earned every bit of our swagger.
Nik Niks. Palazzo Pants. Platform shoes.
Who remembers? Let me know your favorite styles you wore in the 70s.

Some places stay with you long after the suitcase is unpacked.
The @omtaraspa at Kappa Senses Ubud was one of those places for me — hidden among lush greenery, soft rain, flowing water, warm oils, quiet rituals, and the kind of stillness that makes the rest of the world go silent for a little while.
I’m already back home in Arizona, back to real life, emails, laundry and deadlines… but this experience deserved its moment on the timeline because true peace is becoming a luxury these days. Bali slowed me down in the most beautiful way.
And honestly? A massage in the middle of the jungle while listening to nature do its thing should be prescribed at least twice a year.

Just some random pics from 2019. Some of them are in Italy,and in those I was early in my gray hair journey , and I chose gray braids to cover up the early gray hair transition. Other pics are in NY.
Anyhoo, time flies!

There’s something about getting older that teaches you the difference between luxury and peace. One costs money. The other costs years.
Years of lessons.�Years of heartbreak.�Years of overextending, overthinking, overgiving.
So yes… these days I’ll gladly sit in beautiful places, wear the white linen, order the good meal, and disappear into serene aqua views without one ounce of guilt.
Because this softness?�It wasn’t handed to me.�I earned every bit of it.
Bali has been good for my spirit.
Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is step away from the noise…
At this age, I no longer vacation to impress people.�I vacation to hear myself think again.

Do you need a reset?
Happy Mother’s Day All!💐Then and Now…Swipe left.
One of the greatest Blessings of my life is being a mother and seeing my children flourish. Sometimes we wonder how we did as parents, but I’m happy to say that my boys give me my flowers of appreciation while I’m still here🙏🏽💐❤️
I pray this can be said of me from Proverbs 31:
27
She looks well to the ways of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29
“Many women have done excellently,
but you surpass them all.”
30
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31
Give her of the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her in the gates.
And when you can’t physically, be there with them, there’s always AI to the rescue🤗😉

From me with big big hair, busy days, and raising my boy in the ‘80s… to watching him become an incredible father himself.
Life moves fast, but some things never change… the love, the bond, and the way your children continue to cheer you on through every season of life.
Justin has always been one of my biggest supporters — from my early mom days to this chapter of traveling, creating, and living life fully. And now seeing 3 generations together? That’s the real blessing. 🙏🏽
Sometimes the greatest flex isn’t fame, money, or followers… it’s looking around and realizing your family still genuinely loves being together.
Three generations strong… and my heart is full.
