In case you missed it:
In a land not too far, not too near,
A tale of midlife, let me share, do hear.
With jeans so tight and a feeling so slight,
Midlife women, this story takes flight.

One morning, with the sun shining bright,
A woman looked at jeans with a slight fright.
“Once I slid in, oh so sleek and svelte,
Now it feels like a tightening belt.”

With thoughts so grim and self-talk not kind,
She spiraled down, feeling confined.
“Midlife has come, with its tales and tricks,
But am I truly stuck, in this age of forty-six?”

She remembered the words, from her coaching delight,
That our mind, our thinking, can shift the light.
For words they have power, more than we see,
To shape our world, our destiny.

“Neuro-what?” she questioned, with a tilt of her head,
“Neuroplasticity!” a voice nearby said.
The brain, so wondrous, can learn and bend,
And new pathways, new thoughts, it can send.

No longer bound by age's decree,
The mind can grow, like a grand old tree.
With wisdom of years and power anew,
Aging is a gift, to not just a few.

She stood tall, with eyes anew,
Seeing life from a different view.
For she knew, in her heart, deep inside,
That age was just a number, on life's grand ride.

So the next time you think, “I'm too old, it's too late,”
Remember this tale, and change your fate.
For with age comes wisdom, and a strength so grand,
Step into its power, and make your stand.

Celebrate each wrinkle, each silver strand,
For life's journey is magical, isn't it just grand?
With each passing year, a new chapter unfolds,
Embrace it with joy, let your story be told.
