Aging Gracefully

I believe in laugh lines, not wrinkles. I believe in grey hair, not over processed strands. I believe in a peaches and cream complexion, not an orange one. Most importantly, I believe that beauty has no age, no skin or hair color, no height or weight preferences; it's a feeling, and an attitude we have within us.

With that being said, I have just become the biggest Kim Cattrall fan. She recently gave an interview about resisting the societal pressures of having plastic surgery.

"I don't want to look in the mirror and not realize who's looking back," said Cattrall.

I'm over the moon thrilled that there is a woman in Hollywood that is willing to push back against the absurd societal pressures against women. What are we teaching our young girls? You can only have self-esteem if other people say you can?

Bull shit.

In 20 years, I only hope I can look in the mirror and see a woman whose life shows on her face. When I see a wrinkle it will be a reminder of the times I spent laughing, crying, smiling and worrying. That's life and that's what's beautiful.
