Why did I set up the website Fabafterfifty.co.uk?
I believe that life is for living at all ages, and that 50 is far too young to be sidelined or made to feel invisible. At 50 many of us will quite literally have just reached life’s midway point, with 1 in 6 of us likely to reach 100! With potentially another 50 years to go it is time to start planning for the future, not mourning the past. There is plenty of time for reinvention with the potential for new careers, friendships, relationships, confidence and joie de vivre!
With so much negativity in the press, I felt I had to take a stand, and help redefine perceptions of today’s 50plus women. We are a vibrant, talented group of people, resourceful and tenacious with lots to offer society and each other.
Far from taking to our rocking chairs we are setting up businesses, writing books, climbing mountains, travelling, volunteering across the globe, running marathons. We are living life to the full. We just need to ensure that this message gets across to society at large.
Yes we have challenges in life, but we also have the life experience to enable us to confront those challenges. With input from regular and guest contributors and the community of readers on health, fitness, finance, style, career relationships , lifestyle and more, at Fabafterfifty we can share, inform and inspire to ensure that all women can celebrate the second half of life as the best half!
With feisty role models such as Donna Africa, who are happy to wave the flag and prove that reinvention is possible, we can all be inspired to be fab after 50. We are the ‘can do’ generation. We are used to setting our own rules and changing boundaries and perceptions.
Life is for living. And life after 50 is Fabulous!
