NEW PUBLICATION FROM JOAN ELLEN GAGE!
Hello readers! Yes, I am finally writing my blog and it’s about time. The occasion is the launch of my latest book, Embracing Your Inner Cheerleader. I am so excited!
I had epiphany at 50, realizing that it was not the end of the world—but I could see it from there. This smack on the head by the menopause fairy motivated me to write Embracing Your Inner Cheerleader (EYIC) and a previous book on the same eye-opening midlife topic ,Water Running Downhill! Words of Empowerment for Women in Midlife.
Embracing Your Inner Cheerleader reveals the feelings of change and empowerment that accompany entering that 40-60 something rite of passage for women. EYICcontains poetry as “messages” written with a delightful sense of humor. Some of the themes that this book speaks to include: discovering your creativity, exploring who we really are, the strength of women, quality of life, growing up—again!, gratitude, and dealing with the physical part of aging. These messages strive to engage the reader, encouraging the emergence of their own “inner” cheerleaders! You go girls!
Here is a poem from the new book:
A Ms- sed Opportunity
Time to grab on to
The time that you
Have left
Reach for your treasure
With heart and soul
Your quest!
Life may have left you
Lonely and hurt
Get tough!
No one to blame for
Lost horizons
Enough!
Recover your self
Tempus fugit
Be whole!
Live in the now
Rediscover
Your soul!
Time’s missed moments
Are meaningless
Move on!
Your stars shine brightly
Go on, capture
Your crown!
The universe offers us
Abundant gifts
Unclaimed
Begin with love
Never be
The same!
Blessings to you!
Joan
