Spring cleaning doesn’t always mean just cleaning out your closet or tidying up your office space, darlings. It is healthy to take a close-up look at our relationships, to rid of any negative energy around us, and to spend a little more time pampering ourselves. Sometimes it is only then that we feel truly refreshed and ready to tackle the weeks ahead. As I look back on the stories shared over the last week on HoneyGood.com, I am happy to say I believe I take the time necessary to make these changes so I can wake up each day with a positive attitude and a happy heart. Can you say the same? If not, check out this week in review for the four words you need to start using to change your relationships, strange beauty hacks that actually work and how to subtract women from your life who have distasteful traits, leaving you only with strong, vibrant and visible women over 50 to share your valuable time.

Spring Cleaning Leads to Vibrant & Visible Women Over 50

A Gift of Friendship

When I was in my 20s, my girlfriend, Carolyn, dropped a little paperback book off at my home. It was “Gift from the Sea” by Anne Morrow. It wasn’t my birthday; the gift was purely a gift of friendship. Little did either of us know that the book would still be sitting on my nightstand decades later! A beautiful little hardback version was reprinted on the book’s 50th anniversary. It is an inspirational book that reflects on the lives of American women. The book is now over 60 years old and is as fresh as the morning dew and as glorious as the beautiful sea.

Our flight from California circled the city, and as it dipped under the low hanging clouds, a gorgeous view of my beautiful Chicago appeared. I could see the building where I have lived for the past 27 years with my ultimate concierge, and a feeling of contentment wrapped itself around me. The plane gradually banked over Lake Michigan and then swept left, leaving behind the city as it headed toward O’Hare. As the plane shifted, my thoughts turned to my busy, but exciting, schedule for that week. I was truly looking forward to spending time with my co-workers; women who make me happy for a number of reasons. This week I shared the most honorable traits that the women surrounding me have that makes me so lucky to have them. Read the story here.
