Transitioning to gray hair can be a beautiful journey. It’s about celebrating your natural beauty and letting go of society’s expectations.
Transitioning to gray hair can be a beautiful journey. It’s about celebrating your natural beauty and letting go of society’s expectations.
In a world that often equates beauty with youth, it takes a big dose of confidence and a sprinkle of humor to flip the script, showing that gray hair isn’t just a sign of aging—it’s a badge of honor. It tells tales of wisdom, experience, and unabashed self-love.
The choice to embrace your natural silver strands is nothing short of revolutionary. It’s like telling the world, “I am comfortable in my own skin, and I’m here to slay.”
Paid Partnership with Hair Biology. As always, my opinions are my own. In recent months, I’ve experienced some dramatic hair loss and thinning, and ladies, we all know that we need to keep our silver crown glowing, so I was especially excited to partner with Hair...
I would be remiss if I created this blog and didn't include a section on faith. Faith looms large in my life and has for most of my life. Feeling a pull and a sense that God existed in the small details in my life seemed to haunt me from childhood, and I am sure the...
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...
Just some random old photos. I’ve posted so many of them for #tbt I’m running out of them.
Anyway, a little walk down memory Lane.
The first two photos were taken around 2010. The others are just random pulls.
Not too long ago… But it seems so far away.
Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday Service.
Garden metaphors and parables are widely used in scripture, and no wonder because they mirror life in many ways.
I love this verse:
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9
Life can be wearying and we all get “Tied”😩
Don’t give up Fam! Keep going!
Beauty is on the other side!

On this day 4 years ago we tied the knot. The original plan was just to go to city hall, but my granddaughter insisted that I have a real wedding because she
wanted to be the flower girl and had several dresses picked out. She proceeded to shop for dresses and drove everyone crazy for weeks sending photos almost every day.
I’m so glad she did because we ended up inviting our children and grandchildren and it was a memorable event with beautiful Sedona as the spectacular backdrop.
Thanks to our wonderful families for showing up and thanks for taking the wonderful photos since the photographer didn’t make it!
Anyhoo-here we are 4 years later and it truly feels like yesterday. We are truly Blessed and want to encourage folks that Love Doesn’t Expire at 50. Our love story started when we were 60.
Thanks for stopping by!

Now this is a PSA for all ages actually…just some things that I’ve been thinking about, but I’m talking to myself too!!
We can have gorgeous clothes , and look Fly, But…
Waistline: I’ve always kept a pretty small waistline using waist trainers, etc. for years-but as I approach 70….yeah I said it-70… It’s increasingly difficult to keep that svelte, tight waist going. But I’m not giving up! There is a big difference in appearance when you have a trim waistline, not to mention visceral fat around the waist is detrimental to health and wellness especially as we age.
Posture: something else I catch myself slumping when I’m sitting down and slouching when I’m walking, I caught myself in the mirror as I walked by a couple of times and corrected it.
Walking: I know the joints aren’t cooperating as they once did, but you can catch yourself and train yourself to have more pep in your step.
Bra: Y’all, I’m not gonna lie. Everything is sagging, but I am doing some weight training to combat all of it. But we can all use a better fitting bra, which helps for more useful appearance.
Face: Facial expressions- sour face or smile? Pro tip: Yes, smiling triggers a chemical reaction in the brain that releases endorphins, along with dopamine and serotonin. This process is part of the facial feedback loop, where the physical act of moving facial muscles sends signals back to the brain to lift your mood and lower stress.
There are so many things that we can change about ourselves. I know some of them are habits that are deeply embedded, but it’s still not too late.
Anyway, just a few little tips if you’re wanting to look and maybe feel a little peppier. And like I said this is for everyone, even you young folks. If you start now you’ll be ahead of the game..
What are your thoughts? Do you have any other tips for enhancing a more youthful appearance?
Do you even care? 😅
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

#TBT to when we were just two grown folks trying to figure out if this thing might actually work.
We met later in life. We lived in different states. We dated long distance for four years. And neither one of us knew exactly where the story was going.
But here we are.
Our anniversary is coming up next week, and looking back at these old photos has me thinking about everything I learned about dating, love, disappointment, starting over—and what I thought I knew at 50 that I definitely know better now.
Let me just say this:
Love didn’t expire at 50.
More on that soon.

#TBT and a little walk down memory lane…
Same kids. Same back view. A whole lot more height.
In 2020, I snapped that first photo of them from behind when they were still my little ones. Fast-forward to now and somehow those same “little” kids are taller than I am! When did THAT happen?
They just spent two weeks summering with us in Arizona, as they always do, and we had so much fun. And looking back at our Brooklyn stoop photos from then and now really got me. The stoop is still there, the Brooklyn memories are still there…but these babies just keep growing up on me.
That’s the funny thing about time. While you’re busy living it, laughing, traveling, making memories and enjoying the summers, those little legs get longer, those babies get taller…and suddenly you’re looking UP at them.
Same kids. Different view. A whole lot of memories in between.
