If the words “I really shouldn’t be doing this at my age,” have ever crossed your mind, I would love for you to join me in a manhunt for whoever made “the rules” about age-appropriate behavior.

I think we learned these rules when we were very young, watching other people in our families and communities and on years-ago TV– rules about what to wear and how to behave.

But friends, some rules were just meant to be broken, right?

Maybe–as time marches on, and people ask us with increasing frequency

“Aren’t you a little too old to be doing that?”

“When are you going to grow up?”

“Are you crazy?”

“What will people think?”

we will answer:

“No.”

“Never.”

“Yes.”

“Who cares?”  

A magnet on my refrigerator asks, “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” So how old would YOU be? What might you do…if notions about being “your age” never entered your head?

Maybe now is the perfect time to shatter a few stereotypes and find the heart to step into your truest spirit.
