Aspire Magazine: Inspiration for a Woman's Soul.(TM) Oct/Nov 2016 Aspire Mag Full Issue | Page 22

LETTER EDITOR FROM THE Welcome to the October/November 2016 “Embracing Midlife” issue of Aspire. “The woman you are today reflects the culmination of every experience you’ve ever had; every challenge you’ve faced, every obstacle you’ve overcome, and all the wisdom you’ve gained in the process.” – CHRISTY WHITMAN I love the above quote from Christy’s article, Awakening to Authenticity, featured in this issue. For the first half of my life I carried a lot of shame, regret and self-condemnation for the choices I had made. It wasn’t until I shifted my thinking, healed my heart and did the inner work that I was able to see that e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. I experienced, the good, the bad and the ugly, made me who I am today—a passionate, love-filled, spirit-led creative powerhouse. (I finally own my truth and hope you do too!) At the end of October I turn 54! I have to say, I thought my forties were amazing, but baby, I’m rocking my fifties and embracing it wholeheartedly.
