Imperfection

March 28, 2011 By Gail 31 Comments

The other day I was reading about the perfection of imperfection. The idea made me feel not only good, but a bit excited. American culture focuses on youth, and even then airbrushes and starves young women to conform to an ideal. This morning the media is abuzz about a padded bikini top available to girls as young as age 7. Maybe we can “Barbie-ize them” before breasts begin to sprout for real, I thought. Sigh.

As an older woman, I feel ripe with a wealth of experiences. Like the berries inmy photo, I toohave a few wrinkles earned by exposure to some of life’s harshest conditions. But that doesn’t mean I’m going away, or that my time has past. In fact, in a world of bland look alikes, my unique physique stands out in contrast. Yeah, I’m liking this idea of imperfection…a lot.

A Message From Gail

Through my blog and website, I hope to share beauty, laughter, inspiration, aging & midlife lessons and advice on dealing with menopause. I will also devote time to integrative health and healing tips and news. I want feedback and questions because, while we may be sharing the journey, every woman has her own experience and her own story.
