I'm at an age when many women believe their best years are behind them. I hope to convince my "Sisters" that many more of those "best years" are waiting to be lived! I'm living proof it is never to late to live them. Not to long ago I weighed nearly 200 pounds and was being treated for a long list of obesity related medical problems. Thankfully there came a point in my life when I decided to keep my self promises. When I did...my life opened to a world of possibilities.

Red Bikini Society members wanted

I can just see the headlines....This is a movement that will truely rock the world. (Or at the very least our little corners of the world.)

Now repeat after me.


When I grow old I shall where Red---the most powerful color of
all. My wardrobe will include a hot, lipstick red bikini that I will wear with pride on my strong, lean and toned body.

--When others sit in their rocking chairs at the nursing home wasting away, I will be first in line for a cardio machine at the gym.

--When others go back for seconds, and thirds--I will
continue to eat six, balanced meals a day to fuel my body so that I may work my muscles to their full potential.

--When others shake their heads in sorrow and remember the joyous days of their youth...I will rejoice in the power of mind, body and spirit and do everything in my power to maintain my health.

--When others say they can't...I will be the first to say, let me try!

--When others don their red hats and purple dresses in the hopes of shedding the cloke of the invisable...I will turn a deaf ear to those who might consider it "inappropriate" and with a wink and a smile... I will be the first to wear a hot, lipstick red bikini because I can.

As members of the Red Bikini Society it will be our duty to share the secrets to greater physical, mental and spiritual health...to others who say...

"when I grow old I shall wear a hot lipstick red bikini because I can!

Remember, a playful life is a life worth living!

The Red Bikini Society rules!
With great respect I remain you humble Queen Mother,

Michelle ... In the Washington Post we have a weekly columist by the name of Abigail Trafford. Her column (entitled: "My Time") is all about folks who are taking full advantage of their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond ... I don't know if you know her work ... Her e-mail is mytime@washpost.com ... Your RED BIKINI SOCIETY blog entry made me thing that Abigail might enjoy hearing your story ... But I wouldn't assume that I could or should send her your blog-sight w/out your permission ... Way to go, champ! ... Your BFL pal, John
