MIDLIFE AND BEYOND, KATE IS DETERMINED TO EMBRACE THIS FABULOUS NEW PHASE IN LIFE…

“Let us not allow ourselves to sleepwalk into the next chunk of life – one minute being 50, the next 70. It would be criminal to miss out on so many potential new experiences and the wonderful feelings that are part of that package. Midlife, I believe, is a critical period. A time to take charge and excel at the things we never knew we could be any good at; to accept what is gone and shore ourselves up for the future. Let’s not drift regretfully into old age, full of bitterness about the things we didn’t do, wishing we’d taken more risks, or fewer risks. Wishing we had done things differently. A century ago, middle age was often the end of life. Now it is the start of a new phase that can extend to 30 years or more. These are unchartered waters. Society can’t dictate what we should do, because we are among the first to do it.”
