The woman is featured in marie claire’s “What I’ve Learned” section. She’s 77. She looks so young! I thought she was in her 50s. And here’s her beauty secret: “More important to avoid than wrinkles is getting into an iron-clad box of fixed beliefs. Dogmas cause wars and are not good for the digestion.”

How often do you find a 77-year-old woman who thinks like this? Here’s another one: “There are no rules. The moment you think something is the rule, it changes. Visionaries work on possibilities and do today what everyone will accept as ‘normal’ only ten years later.”

I guess I’ll never be normal anyway. Thank goodness for that. I hope to look like her when I hit my 70s, too.

I think 77 year old women who are wealthy are more free-spirited than those who struggle to feed their kids…..if you know what I mean. =)
