CELEBRATING THE JOURNEY!

I LOVED this book! I am a 55 year old female who has always been commited to my life getter BETTER as I mature. There is not always a lot of support for that in our youth obsessed society. This is the BEST book that I have ever read that celebrates and honors the aging process. It has great stories and exercises and does it in such an entertaining and inspiring way. I feel rejuvenated and more excited about the second half of my life than I have in awhile and more grateful for the journey I have taken thus far. It also kicked in my creative juices about what I can do to make my life increasingly more FUN and fulfilled in every area of my life. My girlfriends have also thanked me over and over for sharing it with them. THANK YOU Marilyn & Nancy!

A fresh, new perspective on aging fearlessly

What a relief to finally have permission to age with grace, dignity and a bit of joy. I've joined a Fearless Group thanks to this book and am enjoying bonding with a group of ten women who have given me support and hope for the second half of my life. All inspired by Marilyn Kentz and Nancy Alspaugh. Thank you, my Fearless Ladies!

Finally! A perfect book for us!!!!

I am 46 years old and searching for a way to make the second half of my life even better than the first. I have things I haven't done yet, ideas to nurture into reality, and relationships to develop! But all these negative tapes in my head developed over the first half of my life, are holding me back from the second. The beauty of this book is it gives us actual stories,exercises and a CD of visualisations to help me reprogram the old stuff and create the life I want! How perfect. The Guide To Fearless Aging is making me so excited about the possibilities again. I haven't felt this great in a long time.I have joined a group that uses the ideas in this book as a springboard into a joyous and productive midlife. I have never had such support. You have to read this book.Thank you Nancy and Marilyn. Finally!!!!

The Midway Runway

This book inspired me to stay on course with my dreams and goals for the next decade - I turn fifty next year. After I finished reading this book, all of the things I talk and dream about doing, suddenly seem within reach. If these two "girls" can achieve their goals, I can too and so can you. The book covers lots of different scenarios, and while I couldn't relate to all of them, I certainly saw myself in several, as I am definately midway through the runway of life. Enjoy this book.

Strengthen yourself with this book

As a divorced woman in my fifties, I have struggled with disappointment and hopelessness. This book is inspirational and makes you look beyond the old model of how women should live. It helped me to accept life's wrinkles and see things differently. I also recommend Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self to help you make the most of any situation with minimum effort.
