About

I turned 49 on 25th of May and it seemed like a normal day to me – or a normal birthday – breakfast in bed, lovely flowers …. until two weeks later when I realised that everyone had been asking me questions about MY NEXT BIRTHDAY !!!!

How do I feel about turning 50? Am I letting my hair grow white? Do I wish I had done something else with my life? It feels like being 49 is standing on the threshold of a life changing decision … according to people around me.

As for me, I often get my age wrong and sometimes think I am 35 or 45 – but now I know –

I AM 49 

Still wondering why everyone has so many questions about my next birthday I realised that I had a lot to say and do before I got there. I also had a lot to think about about, so I started looking at other ‘about to be 50’ blogs. Do I want to remain stylish? Do I want to maintain my figure? What is on my bucket list??? None of these were on my wavelength.

I just want to know what goes on in mine and other women’s mind when they reach this year-before the milestone – that’s why I am starting this blog – to share what’s going on in my mind and to benefit from the insights and probing of other people.

I hope you will join me on this journey – a challenge in itself, with the added excitement of blogging about it
