I love that this was such a wonderful experience for you and obviously a great reminder to stop question ourselves all the time and just live our lives. It can be over way sooner than we wish. Thank you for sharing.
PS: I didn‘t even know the phrase „thight spread“ existed, but I can relate, which makes me sad and angry that women have to worry about things like that…
Thank you, Susanne! It’s so infuriating to hear young people still facing body judgment. Will it ever end? I think it’s something we can try to help with at our life stage, bringing more warmth and acceptance wherever we are. I feel that ethos in your work!
I doubt it will ever end. I imagine it to be even harder with the whole world right at your finger tips (or phone screen). But I definitely agree with you that we can sure be supportive when it comes to acceptance and giving younger people warmth and positive feedback!
Patrick could actually be felt in that entire post! I'm so glad you went and had a good time. What a lively crowd!! Can't imagine being 71 and still drawing that big of an audience! Thanks for sharing this Daphne.
Thanks Juliette for reading! It really does seem like one of the keys to getting older is not overthinking it when it comes to play. Just keep doing what’s fun and don’t worry about looking silly.
Now that I’m over 50, I find myself looking for inspiring examples of people over 70. That’s another reason I loved reading about your mom in your book! Congrats on the e-book release!

Thank you so much for your support, Daphne! And yes, examples of people who have lived full lives are so interesting to me!
