Sixty and Me from A to Z – A Manifesto for Women Over 60

By Margaret Manning April 30, 2014 Mindset

Women in their 60’s are redefining what it means to be a midlife woman! Forget the stereotypes. If you ask the 43,000 members in our Sixty and Me community, you fill find that they are adventurous, curious, and passionate about living a life that is healthy, wealthy and independent. In fact we are redefining everything from A-Z!

Women Over 60 Today Are:

Audacious – Realizing this is “our time,” we are embracing our own style and living our way.

Bold – We are taking chances with love, life and learning.

Creative – We are looking at new work opportunities, retirement models and lifestyle options.

Daring – Women over 60 are trying new things and aren’t afraid to “break the mold”.

Energized – We are eating healthier food and embracing new exercise options.

Fun-loving – After years of worrying about what others think of us, we just don’t care.

Gregarious – Having defined a style that we love, we go after life with verve.

Hungry – We have a sense of urgency for experiencing good things: food, friends and connections.

Ingenious – Living on a pension, many women find creative ways to survive and thrive.

Joyful – We know that life is precious and we approach each day with a sense of awe.

Kind – We like to share and give of ourselves.

Loving – We understand love because we’ve experienced loss.

Mysterious – Women over 60 have secrets. Just ask us.

Naughty – We still love to experiment, tease and embrace our sensual side.

Organized – After decades of practice with family and work, we are expert multitaskers.

Political – We have points of view and want to share our voice.

Quirky – We were raised in the 60’s and we haven’t forgotten how to be ourselves.

Ready – Women over 60 have an eagerness to “go for it”.

Sexy – We are sensual and beautiful. We are still interested in enjoying sexual relationships.

Talented – We have worked hard to develop skills and we want to share them with others.

Unbounded – Life has restricted women in the past. Now, we want freedom!

Vibrant – We love to dance, play, sing, learn, create, live and love.

Women of the World – We have traveled to the ends of the earth and have stories to tell.

Xtraordinary – Having lived the spectrum of experience, we are ready to celebrate!

Youthful – Women over 60 are taking care of themselves and want to look great.

Zany – We believe that we can be positive, vibrant and fabulous as we age.

Are you a woman over 60? How would you describe your approach to life? Do you believe that women of our generation see the world differently than our mothers and grandmothers did?
