Pro Aging - My rebelious Revolution

We are born to live and we are born to die. And, in between we are meant to shine. We are made up of the same substance that makes the stars, they are our brothers and si-stars - do you see them shine too?  I am a sovereign being of love and light.  It is my belief that we are here on earth to - Be all we can. Do all we can, See all we can and love all we can.  Experience everything, embrace everything - the dark as much as the light.  Deny nothing.  
The challenge we experience is that we have a limitless spirit dwelling in a limited body.  We may feel young and vibrant on the inside, but after a certain age our bodies begin to tell another story.  Our bodies are decaying and there is not a god damn thing we can do about it.  There is no denying this process, it is part of the wheel of life.  We are born, we live, we die. And, if you have the same beliefs as me - we do this over and over.  
Aging is completely natural, it's real.  And as Byron Katie says, "you can fight reality, but you will lose only every time." Recently, I heard a term that I hadn't heard before - "Pro-Aging".  Pro-aging as apposed to Anti-Aging.  Yes, Yes and Yes again! Finally!  Someone who makes sense and is not trying to pull the wool over my eyes.  Anti-aging is the biggest load of crap that has ever been thrown at us and of course that crap is being thrown right in the face of the Feminine.  I mean, how gullible to you think we are?  The beauty industry should be ashamed of themselves for feeding us this crap and making us feel fearful of aging, knowing full well that there is nothing anyone can do about it.  I don't care how many degrees you have in the sciences..  You can not fight aging.
As if aging isn't hard enough, what with our aching backs, bung knees and hips, hot flushes and so on.  Now we have to feel bad about the only things that don't ache, which is our skin and hair?  Fuck off!!  I refuse to feel "less than" because my face is showing signs of aging, my neck is getting somewhat wobbly and my goldy locks are not quite so goldy anymore.  Bite me!  I will not be purchasing any of your chemical ridden anti-aging creams that do nothing but fill my pores with poison & suck the life out of my purse.  
I'm still a rebel on the inside.  I'm Anti 'Anti-aging'  I will be doing everything you tell me I shouldn't do.  I will grow my hair long and let it go grey, (unless of course I feel it doesn't suit me, but so far so good).  I will keep using my natural chemical free edible oil on my skin.  Maybe it does nothing, but it feels good on the inside and feeds my skin instead of suffocating it.  I'm going to love my wrinkly skin and wobbly neck and there's not a god damn thing you can do about it.  How dare you try to make me feel bad about aging, just when I have begun to believe in myself.  No, it's not happening.  I am a very proud "Pro Ager" and I am not bowing down to your fear campaign.  I stand for aging...just lit me sit for a bit, because my back is aching.  Anyhoo, bugger off.
p.s. This lady on the right here is how I see myself in my future.  Yes!  What a Powerful Goddess she is.  She is my inspiration for Pro-Aging, standing loud and proud!

Namaste,
