While I love the fact that "older" women are getting out there, speaking up, leading and (finally) being recognised, I am in two minds about the post's focus on a woman's age. A riddle wrapped in a conundrum inside an enigma Because, in matters of age, (wo)mankind is a riddle wrapped in a conundrum inside an enigma. We love the concept of living long, yet we hate the idea of growing old. We are told to embrace our age, yet once we hit thirty, we want to be told we look young(er), even if it means delving into the costly and complex world of anti-age creams, lotions, potions and pills. And as the number of candles on the birthday cake increases with every lived year, so does the temptation to move to more radical and invasive age-defying treatments. Anything to erase the visible signs of the life we have led. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a95eded20de561854f6b21/1624974087655-A1DWMEPRWGCSFPBCI85M/Elephant.png Food for Thought - We Are So Much More Than Our Age - What Alzheimer's Can Teach Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a95eded20de561854f6b21/1624974395238-Z4YWDICNYC3V2HPJKSWC/Christian+Newman.png Food for Thought - We Are So Much More Than Our Age - What Alzheimer's Can Teach Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a95eded20de561854f6b21/1624974723613-I5D04JWUV7OISE6S4KL5/Flower.png Food for Thought - We Are So Much More Than Our Age - What Alzheimer's Can Teach Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.wordforword.ch/blog/do-you-know-your-helvetisms-2 monthly 0.5 2022-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a95eded20de561854f6b21/1625145724016-WKRI160XTNP3GS2Z50TO/Answer+1.jpg Food for Thought - Do You Know Your Helvetisms - 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a95eded20de561854f6b21/1625145995595-5YE7UEVW3O8O0J1DFHAB/Answers+2.jpg Food for Thought - Do You Know Your Helvetisms - 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a95eded20de561854f6b21/1625145922108-8NA2ITJY9XYD3K13RY90/Answers+3.jpg Food for Thought - Do You Know Your Helvetisms - 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.wordforword.ch/blog/ever-heard-of-helvetisms monthly 0.5 2021-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a95eded20de561854f6b21/1625145198196-SVPITZ0KVC63E3Q4WQ91/Weggli.jpg Food for Thought - Ever Heard of Helvetisms?
