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...
Part 2… because I couldn’t leave it there.
Yes, life is fragile—but it’s also still ours today.�Another morning, another chance to get it right, to love a little deeper, to walk a little closer with God.
That’s the gift. That’s the good news.
We’re still here… and that means there’s still time.

Feeling a bit sad today realizing that as the Bible says, “we are but a vapor”
In a hundred years nobody will care what makeup or designer clothing we wore.
I didn’t even know Susanne personally, but just knowing that she went in for arthroscopic knee surgery , came home and passed away a few days later from a blood clot is something I haven’t been able to shake. We are around the same age, attended the same HIIT class, just
living our mature years with the pesky achy joints that come along with aging.
Suddenly her husband is a widower, and her daughter is motherless. Just like that.
Are we prepared for the inevitable? Have You made peace with God today?
Psalm 90:10 states: “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow…”(threescores and ten equals 70 years) No doubt we are witnessing all kinds of longevity boosters that might buy us a few more years these days, but still.
James 4:14 says “yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.”
So although this is a sad and sobering message, here’s the Good News:
1 John 5:13 states: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life”
Do you believe?
Part 2 is coming up. Stay tuned.

Heading to church… I would say help me pick but I already picked. I decided to go with the tie front. It’s a little more flattering and I get to show the details on these pants.
This great shirt is thrifted and it’s by Sandra Ingrish. The asymmetrical pants are both classic and fun.

Back when life was black and white… but somehow felt more colorful than ever. ✨
A young girl growing up in 1970s New York City, learning grit on the sidewalks, style on the stoops, and confidence in a city that never handed you anything—you had to become it. These photos hold the beginning of the woman I would one day become: bold, resilient, curious, and always just a little fly.
There was no filtering the moment, no retakes, no chasing perfection. Just real memories, real city streets, and a young Brooklyn girl finding her way through a world full of rhythm, soul, and possibility. Looking back now, I can see how those black-and-white years built the foundation for everything colorful in my life today.
1970s throwbacks…
I had a job in the city while I was still in high school, and I worked alongside an aspiring photographer from California and he took some photos of me in the office hallway. I love the vibe -the bandanna, hoop, earrings, and wrap skirt. I love the way. The light catches me and that spot. The second photo I was in a 1940s fashion vibe. For this portrait, I sat for a fellow student in photography class. For the last photo, I was working for a little newspaper, and I was interviewing someone downtown Manhattan. Peep the Pierre Cardin T-shirt., a very iconic designer brand in the 70s
These are such great memories of life in the 70s in New York City.

Part 2. Be Patient.
The first man who buys you coffee is not necessarily the one walking you down the aisle — and that’s okay. Dating at this stage of life is about discovery, not desperation. Keep it light. Keep it fun. A coffee date can turn into a great friendship, a confidence boost, or the foundation of something beautiful. You don’t have to rush the process.
Get to know people. Ask questions. Laugh more. Expect less pressure and more connection.
And to all the men out there dating over 50 — I want to hear from YOU. Drop your experience in the comments 👇 What do you wish women knew? What surprised you about dating at this stage?

Are you still dating over 50
Part 1-Dating at any age is not for the faint of heart these days-but if you’re over 40…Ooooh Chile, it can be a real challenge in this changing world.
Some of you ladies give up after one or two dates, some of y’all don’t even wanna get started, and then lament about being alone. I’ve even helped some women with their profile, and then for some reason they don’t go online. I know it’s not for everyone, and there are a lot of creeps out there, but like Lotto-“You’ve gotta be in it to win it!” Stay hopeful, be wise, and stay at it if a relationship is your goal.
People often ask me where my husband and I met, so I put together a FREE Download with some dating sites, and a few tips about online dating. If you want it write “Download” in the comments and I’ll send the link to you!
