Hot Flashes: For Goddesses 60 and Over - 28 Flashes of Pro-Age Inspiration: Journal, Affirmations, Mindful Excercises!

by Pat Parker

Goddesses - this is for you! It is no accident that you are here reading these words because you are my inspiration for this book! You are the Goddesses - the women who have demonstrated amazing resilience, resourcefulness, and new beginnings. You are the silent roar of beauty as you age! Women who can dig deep and uncover their gifts of “in-her strengths” that are sometimes hidden, but are always there. Do you see yourself as I see you? As a Goddess? Do you recognize your uniqueness and “in-her” strengths? Do you see the brilliant light of your personal aura? Or do you need a boost? A “Hot Flash of Insight?”-I offer 28 “Hot Flashes of Insight” to shake things up, to put you and the world on notice, that you will evolve with an expanding perspective, and lift the veil of possibilities, no matter your shape, size, ethnicity, or age.-I hope that these “Flashes of Insight” will flash you from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset - a new way of looking at things and give you courage and support to step out and make your move even before you feel ready! -“Hot Flashes of Insight” address the real beauty of Goddesses. Forget expressions of external power such as physical features, status, schooling that we have all come to value; they are all accidental and insignificant. Forget expressions that are loud, noisy, and demanding. Instead, the real beauty is the silent roar of beauty … knowing and standing firm in who you really are, celebrating others, playing full out, falling in love with you, taking giant bites of life, reviving dreams, using your unique, innate gifts that only you can bring to this planet and just plain “getting good at life” at every age! -Age brings wisdom, experience, memories, and stories that have influenced our lives and the lives of others. As Goddesses, we will continue to live our lives with even more gusto and meaning. This is our legacy and, more importantly, our responsibility to future Goddesses. Age will not define us or hold us back. It’s up to us, Goddesses!-In this second half of life, it is no time to sit back and become vanilla about life; you have a fire within you that needs to be started, fanned, and spread around. Your position and expression of age is your legacy to future Goddesses.-I invite you to some irreverence, shifting paradigms, going to the edge, and pushing forward to a bigger, fuller, sexier, healthier, smarter living for you, your daughters, granddaughters, nieces, sisters, and friends. Let's do this together!
