I Don’t Know
I’m 81 years old and I’ve learned if there’s one gift you can give yourself in life, it’s the freedom and courage to say ‘I don’t know’. Because I’ll let you into a secret – you don’t have to know. You don’t have to know how you feel, or what you want, or if you’re happy or if you’re sad. Life is full of choices and decisions, and there is so much pressure on us to make all the right ones.

They handled it in a thousand different ways on a thousand different days, but they handled it. Those women are my superheroes. Elizabeth Gilbert

Parisian Thoughts On Beauty
True beauty comes from growing into yourself. Women are often led to believe that beauty fades with age – that beauty must go hand in hand with youth. But during my time living in Paris, where my favourite activity was to sit with a coffee and a croissant and watch the world go by. I couldn’t help but notice the stylish women ‘of a certain age’ who strutted along the streets. They turned heads and they knew it. Their power was in their self-acceptance, in their confidence, in feeling great in their own skin. It made me realise that beauty is as much a state of mind as it is…

I Am Me
I am who I am. Not who you think I am. Not who you want me to be. I am me. Brigitte Nicole
