How Bold Are You?
How Bold Are You? There is a revolution on the horizon…it is moving in fast like a storm, a beautiful, astonishing, powerful, wonderful storm. Chico’s current initiative is challenging women everywhere to stand proud and bold in their years of acquired wisdom. Age is nothing but a compilation of your many fantastic, painful, marvelous, awesome experiences on this earth. And it is time for us stand firmly in the dignity of our years. For it is those years that have taught us everything that we know. And the more years we have in our arsenal of experience, the more fulfilled and appreciative we become of all the years yet to be experienced.
*This is a sponsored post. This tee shirt was provided to me c/o Chico’s. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
When I first joined the Forever Fierce Revolution over a year ago, it was designated as the Fierce 50 Movement. This inspiring group of over 50 women were so kind as to include me and I sort of felt like I was cheating a little. Like I was getting all of this valuable and empowering information from women who have traveled the road into midlife that I was just embarking upon. I have traveled many roads in my life and all too often I was blind without direction or a road map. And now suddenly, I found myself on the verge of this new journey into midlife and there was this group of women who were very unselfishly handing me a detailed road map. Oh my word, how I was thanking my great good fortune for their generosity.
Fast forward to a year later, the group changed its name to The Forever Fierce Revolution so as to include all women of any age who want to tackle life and its obstacles in the most magnificent way…supporting each other! Suddenly, I found myself not just a part of this group, but a member of the group who has been invited to participate in all sorts of events to help spread this message: Here we are. We are strong. We are powerful. We are beautiful. And we are bold. At every age.
If you want to be part of something amazing, I invite you to take the Chico’s #HowBoldAreYouChallenge. Just click the link for more details. Be proud of your age. Stand tall in your wisdom. Feel empowered by your boldness. And join the revolution!
So tell me, How Bold Are You?
Keeping it on the edge,

What a fabulous initiative! I used to think that I hadn’t experienced enough to share, but when you look back — our lives, our experiences are so different and so valuable that each of us has something to share. I’m 45 and I feel like I learn from a 54-year-old just as easily as a 24-year-old. It’s all about experience.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Daenel, I love this comment so much! It is so true that we all have something to offer no matter what age we are. There are some pretty magnificent millennials who are so in tune to life and have experiences to share and wisdom to impart. It is our experiences that mold us into the fascinating people we are. Everyone has a story! Stay bold, my friend.

This is a fantastic group of women with a great goal in mind and no longer for women over 50 but now for women of all ages! I definitely am a lot bolder as I have aged and as life has left its mark year after year but I wouldn’t have it any other way and it looks like you wouldn’t either! You look fabulous and fierce my friend!

Maureen, I agree with you completely! I suppose I was always a pretty bold person (or so I am told), but I am definitely more confidently bold now! Life has a funny way of doing that, doesn’t it?! I am so glad to you have in this amazing community as well. Stay fierce, my friend.

I am bolder more now in my 40’s than what I was in my 20’s and 30’s. I agree the older you get the wiser you become, your perspective on life changes, you become more confident and you stop worrying about the small stuff.
PS! You carry your number very well and look absolutely fabulous #blogcrush

Noleen, thank you so much for the lovely comment! I agree with you totally about perspectives changing and confidence growing…all that experience just makes us so much better! Have a fabulous weekend. Stay bold!

I think much of my boldness came from the women in my life who encouraged me to be brave, strong and passionate enough to make some impact in this world. Women, fighting for simple fairness, through many decades, has not been easy or without risk. Continuing that journey requires visionary thinking and that we support each other and our sisters everywhere. The impact of fashion on all of this matters only in how we use it to lift ourselves and others in attitude, in spirit, economically, politically, and socially. The necessity of being fierce helps to ensure that the journey women have always been on, will continue.

I’m 61 years bold! Woohoo!
Starting to (slowly) plot my next big road trip — a 2019 circumnavigation of Canada!
We MUST meet up! I’m hoping time frame is late spring/ early summer, but I’m at the mercy of the committee at my high school (in Troy, NY) that schedules our reunions. It will be my 45th. Gah!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Yes, Anne! Keep me posted for sure on your travel plans and we are definitely meeting up! And I plan on traveling to LA for the next Forever Fierce meet up which is probably in the winter of 2019 now (February-ish). Stay Bold, my friend! And have a fabulous weekend!

What a fabulously inspiring t-shirt! It’s time we stopped with the whole “Don’t ask a woman her age” as if it’s something to be ashamed of – let’s embrace it and be proud of it! #blogcrush

Lucy, I agree with you completely! I am very proud of my age and all of the experiences and wisdom that have come with all my years!
