Among the topics Shirley covers are... ~ Overcoming midlife fears ~ Coping with loss ~ Creating and fulfilling dreams ~ Shaping spiritual life ~ Improving fitness and diet The quantity of years in your life does not need to decrease the quality of your life. Here's dynamic proof that living longer can also mean living better! FABULOUS AFTER FIFTY is the first book by Ms. Mitchell I’ve read. I’m used to being on her talk show “Aging Outside the Box” and I expected to hear Ms. Mitchell’s deep southern accent as I read the pages of the book. It did shine through in some places and I smiled as I imagined Ms. Mitchell saying the words. I loved the top ten lists that are included in the chapters as well as the attitudes of aging. Ms. Mitchell also included biblical truths in each chapter. A great reminder that over fifty is our second adulthood and we need to keep dreaming, keep working, and exercise to keep our minds and bodies strong, active and healthy. Highly recommended. Available in print and ebook. 192 pages.
