What energy are you bring to enjoy the magic of the season?

When I was little, nothing delighted me more than getting my hands on a fresh sheet of bubble wrap. I’d sit cross‑legged on the floor, grinning, popping each bubble one by one—slowly at first, then in a joyful frenzy. It was simple, silly, and wildly satisfying. My whole body felt alive. The other day, I watched a woman—about our age—popping bubble wrap with that same childlike glee. And it hit me: our bodies remember joy. Even in our 40s, 50s, and 60s, the nervous system still responds to play, pressure, rhythm, and release. That’s the heart of somatic movement. It’s not about “working out.” It’s about waking up. It’s about giving your body permission to feel again—pleasure, grounding, curiosity, breath, softness, strength. It’s about reconnecting to the parts of you that got quiet while you were busy holding everyone else together. And the science backs this up. - According to Harvard research, mindful movement helps regulate the stress response and reduce anxiety by shifting the body out of fight‑or‑flight. - As studies suggest, even simple forms of movement can improve mood, emotional regulation, and overall mental health. - Additional findings from the NIH show that mind‑body practices support stress reduction, nervous system balance, and resilience during demanding life seasons. Just like popping bubble wrap, somatic movement invites us back into sensation, play, and embodied joy. And since you’re already here—already choosing slowness, softness, and reconnection—I want to invite you into something simple: Share this space with another woman who needs it. Someone who’s been carrying too much. Someone whose body is whispering (or shouting) for relief.

🌺 Women in their 60s often desire to be vibrant, connected, and purposeful. With the kids grown and gone, and retirement approaching, many start to feel lost without the constant demands that once filled their days. Loneliness and the ever-present question of “what’s next?” can weigh heavily. But here’s the thing: this stage of life is an invitation, not a loss. After decades of pouring into others, now is the time to pour into yourself. Joy often hides in small things — a hobby, volunteering, or joining a local group. And science agrees. The Harvard Study of Adult Development shows that strong relationships and a sense of purpose are key to lifelong happiness. The National Institute of Aging highlights that engaging in activities you enjoy — whether it’s gardening, painting, or volunteering — boosts mental health and reduces isolation. Even volunteering has been linked to better physical health and longer life, according to the Mayo Clinic research. Purpose doesn’t have to be grand; it can be found in connection, creativity, or contribution. Think back to the dreams you tucked away with the promise of “someday.” Maybe someday is now. So, let me ask you something: What’s one small step you can take today to invite calm into your new normal? Until next time beautiful! 💕 #RediscoverJoy #WomenOver60 #PurposeDrivenLife #HealthyAging #LonelinessToConnection #CalmAndConfident #NewChapter #AgingGracefully #VolunteerForJoy #FindYourPurpose #letsmakecalmyournewnormal

During this magical time, many women feel the weight of emotions and may self‑criticize, believing they don’t have enough to give — whether in time, energy, or financial resources. But the true magic of the season isn’t found only in lights, glitz, or glamour. It lives in the energy we bring to each day. 🌟 Take a few moments to center yourself, ground in the present, and give thanks for exactly where you are right now.
