I’m turning 51 this weekend and what an amazing year it has been, my shop is going from strength to strength I’ve made so many amazing friends… true friends through this creative community I’ve nurtured ❤️
This is the amazing thoughtful gift my daughter created for me for my birthday, I love it more than words can say x
Also Thank you so much to Millie MILLIE’S NATURAL SOAPS 🌿 who is keeping the ship sailing while I have a much needed break for my birthday, onwards and upwards for our little Elsie B Family
To all my female friends from 40 years and up... most of us are going through the next phase of our lives. We’re at that age where we see wrinkles, grey hair and extra pounds.
Menopause may have appeared or just waiting around the corner. We see the cute 25-year-olds and reminisce. But, we were also 25, just as they will one day be our age. What they bring to the table with their youth and zest, we bring our wisdom and experience. We have raised families, run households, paid the bills, dealt with diseases, sadness, and everything else life has assigned us. Some of us have lost those that were nearest and dearest to us. Almost lost our own lives, or selves.
We are survivors... we are warriors on the quiet... we are women...like a classic car or a fine wine. Even if our bodies may not be what they once were, they carry our souls, our courage and our strength. We shall all enter this chapter of our lives with humility, grace and pride over everything we have been through, and should never feel bad about getting older. It’s a privilege that is denied to so many.
