Teetering On The Brink

Marveling at how young we look in old pictures and videos is a universal trait. We all stare at those images in wonder — how could we not have realized, why didn’t we take the time to relish our wonderful body and brain back then? How did time move so quickly and we arrive here?

This video I’m sharing is sevenish years old (so the website I give no longer exists), it was part of a course I created. I pulled up my old stuff after I read a Note on Substack by the amazing author

Beth Kempton

where she shared that one of her readers was concerned about how old she looked! Beth wrote:

This week someone sent me an email thanking me for all the free courses I have offered over the years, and kindly offering their observation that life has clearly taken its toll on me over the past few years given how I look so much older in my videos these days. My first thought was “Charming!” and my second thought was “I don’t care if I look older than before. I AM older than before (I’ve been doing this for fourteen years) and getting older is a luxury not everyone enjoys.”

I echo Beth’s words! I have been doing this a long time and, this far along, my words, my experiences, and my look is different. But the essence of me is the same, just as my message for each of us to pay attention to our inner voice and have the courage to follow it remains steady.
