JOIN US IN AGING FABULOUSLY!

Cynthia A. Lovely

We can’t stop those numbers from climbing as we face yet another birthday, but we can enjoy and celebrate each additional year of our lives. It was this mindset that brought three gal-friends together to pen a women’s devotional designed for the Gen X and Boomer generations.

Connie Clyburn, Michelle Medlock Adams and I joined forces and compiled our book of Aging Fabulously -52 Devotions Sure to Give You a Faith Lift, published by Bold Vision Books and available on Amazon. It was a fun project to combine our individual writing voices along with our different backgrounds from Tennessee, Indiana and New York!

Connie is our laid-back Tennessee mountain gal, Michelle the successful author with multiple projects and then the impossible New Yorker who wants results in a New York minute. (Uh, yes that’s me). It was an interesting journey for all of us and we still remain good friends.

Our book is full of wit, wisdom, wonder and a willingness to be honest and transparent to help others. The devotions may cause readers to laugh, cry, ponder, and ultimately look to the Author of it all for their continued direction of following after Jesus. We added a closing prayer with the devotions and also a few Sassy Suggestions: realistic ideas of how to follow through with practical thoughts and actions on the scriptures.

Michelle writes about Joining the Senior Club and also Moving On, describing the emotions of relocating to a new home. Connie talks about Seeking the Kingdom and shares her thoughts on I Should Have Been a Cowgirl. A couple of my devotions are about the start of gray hair with Silver Threads and the appeal of afternoon break with Naptime.

The devotions address many pertinent topics including physical changes, friendship and relationships, marriage, travel, grandchildren, health, faith, prayer, laughter, and many more important issues. Our purpose is to emphasize the value of our lives as we age and the reality that God still has a plan for us. We are valuable. We are special. Our lives matter. He is not done with us yet.

Though the book is geared for those ages 40 and up, it is still applicable to any woman who wants to know God on a deeper level and has a desire to draw closer to Him. Check out our wonderful reviews on Amazon and order your copy today to Age Fabulously!

HI Connie. How exciting that three of you collaborated on this story together. It sounds like you are close friends, so I'm sure the project brought laughter and tears. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Kate, Thanks for your comment and yes...it was fun to write. Check out the reviews on Amazon, I think you would enjoy the book.

Erma, Oh, there is a story behind our picture! This was at a writers conference where we had met years ago and now back there, signing a contract together. It was after midnight near end of conference, we were exhausted and couldn't stop the giggles. We ended up signing on the wrong lines,

Cynthia From New York At 3/17/2024 2:46:52 PM

Jerolyn, We enjoyed putting this book together and it is filled with our personal stories along with some hard-won wisdom! It is a good combination of laughter, tears, deep thoughts and lighthearted tales all pointing us to the Author of it all...Jesus! Thanks for commenting.

Jerolyn From Colorado At 3/16/2024 8:41:36 PM

Sounds like a great book! We women of a "certain age" appreciate a good laugh with friends, and spending time in the Lord with inspiration geared towards us is welcome.

Hi Jerolyn! Yes, time with friends is special and we all need those laughs. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Erma From Idaho At 3/15/2024 1:56:11 PM

Wow, this sounds like an interesting book. I love that they're laughing in this picture!!! If there's one thing we need as we age, it's laughter! Wrinkles, creaky bones, and uncooperative body parts don't inspire joy. God's word and love, and fun times with friends do!!! :)

Erma, you are so right! We need to take the frustrating side of aging and temper it with humor, friends, a knowledge of God's Word, and the assurance of His love! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hi Cynthia and Patti--this devotion book sounds great, right up my alley! I really do want to age fabulously.

Hi Becky. HA! You are aging fabulously. Like I told you recently, I thought you were about ten years younger than you are! Thank you so much for stopping by.
