IS AGE REALLY JUST A NUMBER?

 IS AGE REALLY JUST A NUMBER?

an emotional empowerment workbook for women - an excerpt

Page 4

Lewis Carroll is the man who said, "Life, what is it but a dream?" As children, we sing the song, "Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream."

When one ceases to dream, one is old.

Dreams are a source of inspiration. It is only with inspiration that one will never grow old, no matter how many birthdays one celebrates.

When one is inspired the world is gifted with books, with music, with faith, with art, with family, with love, with hope, with life, with all that is good.

We are women living in a new age, adjusting our lives to live within a challenging economy, a chaotic fear-filled world where much that, for years, has seemed reliable, traditional, acceptable, is no longer at our fingertips.

In this 21st century we sometimes have difficulty keeping pace with the rapid technological, philosophical, political, economical, psychological, and spiritual transformation we are witnessing and experiencing.  It can be overwhelming.

Throughout recent years, and especially in this new year of 2026, people have expressed to me very real fears about this rapid transformation. I've heard it said, "It's all too much for me!"  I also hear, "I'm getting too old for this and I'm afraid I can't keep up."

Some say they are not concerned because they are afraid to appear vulnerable; afraid to be thought of as weak.  They may fall back on the old cliche and say, "It is what it is. Get over yourself!"

We all are aware of the saying, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."

I question the truth of that statement ............
