Product Description
Balanced somewhere between a memoir and a how-to, AMAZING GRAYS is a uniquely refreshing and candid look at midlife for those unwilling to become feeble old women with boobs in their laps, dreams on the shelf, and Memory Lane their only destination.
As a leading edge boomer, Maggie uses her own journey through midlife to shatter stereotypes about aging. At the core of her message, she exposes the fears and anxieties that often haunt maturing women and reveals how to mindfully navigate the turbulence with wisdom, perspective and practice. She encourages women to relish their roles as Amazing Grays and not waste time and energy trying to hang on to the past.
For women who are entertaining the
possibility of life without hair dye, Maggie shares her story of going gray. She outlines several strategies to take you from colored to natural and includes photographs and stories of women who have taken the plunge.
Hers is not an anti-aging message. This book is a little about going gray and a
lot about aging mindfully and joyously (with a healthy dose of kicking and screaming) from an everyday lady s perspective.
Reader ReviewsAt first I was skeptical of "just another book on aging", but Maggie Crane's AMAZING GRAYS has opened my life to just that....amazing grace. A lifetime of never measuring up to the approved cultural Barbie model left me, at 61, feeling like a has-been that never was! Drawing on her incredible insight and humor, Maggie speaks to self-realization in a way that finally connects; that finally makes it not only "OK" but actually, a relief to be at home in my own skin...no longer afraid to exhale. Thanks, Maggie.
