QUOTE (from the INTRODUCTION)
"To be older, without all those pressing responsibilities, is one of the most exciting periods in our life. A period which is seldom appreciated because of our perception of it, being brainwashed from a long time back that we should dread it and being haunted by the idea that we have only illness and frailty to look forward to with ageing. Yet, I cannot think of anything more sexy and formidable than to have great intelligence, wisdom and experience, and a wonderful, healthy, shapely body to go with it! Eat your heart out all those younger airhead ‘celebrities’ with nothing more than their looks! At the rate I’m going, I’ll probably be the only woman in Britain who will have to whip out my birth certtificate in two years’ time (when I’m 60) to prove that I am entitled to my free bus pass, and I am relishing the moments. In fact, I can’t wait to be 60! Am I mad, or wot?
For me, ‘disgraceful’ behaviour in older people is one which takes us out of our comfort zones, one that defies predictions and unchanging expectations; one that extends our knowledge, our boundaries and our reach to view life and approach it in a different way. It is an attitude that takes us to new vistas and venues, to new heights of pleasure and personal appreciation of the unique and formidable beings we become as we age; one that brings us firmly and unmistakebly in the modern era. In short, behaviour which helps us to defy ageing and regard it simply as a number marking the stages of life, instead of one that brings fear and dread and controls our living."

| Your Birthdate: April 18 |

| Your EQ is 160 |
![]() 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar. |
| You Are An ENFP |
|
The Inspirer You love being around people, and you are deeply committed to your friends. You are also unconventional, irreverant, and unimpressed by authority and rules. Incredibly perceptive, you can usually sense if someone has hidden motives. You use lots of colorful language and expressions. You're qutie the storyteller!

You are a genuinely happy person - congratulations!
And now for something completely different....
Take this quiz!
| You Have a Melancholic Temperament |
![]() You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life. You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you. Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace. You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life. Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times. At your worst, you brood and sulk. You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others. You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult. |


Everybody Knows:
You can't be all things to all people.
You can't do all things at once.
You can't do all things equally well.
You can't do all things better than everyone else.
Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's.
So:
You have to find out who you are, and be that.
You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
You have to learn not to compete with others,
Because no one else is in the contest of *being you*.
Then:
You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
You will have learned to live with your limitations.
You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.
And you'll be a most vital mortal.
Dare To Believe:
That you are a wonderful, unique person.
That you are a once-in-all-history event.
That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are.
That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.
And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.

You are not likely to!
Her name is Marjorie Newlin, from Mount Airy, USA. A remarkable lady who has blasted the stereotypes about ageing. Scroll down to the TELEVISION section for her age.
She is an inspiration to us all.

Like the rest of my life, my taste is pretty varied, depending on the song rather than the genre - too many to list here. Some of my most enjoyable songs are:
And the music of Michael Jackson, Beres Hammond, Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, Sanchez, Luciano, Baaba Maal, Yousou N'Dor, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Diamond, Black Eyed Peas.

Have little time to watch television with all these My Space sections to complete! But I tend to prefer news and documentaries, dramas, debates, quiz shows, international sporting events, Eurovision Song Contest and some satirical comedies like Have I Got News for You, Bremner, Bird and Fortune and Extras.
Marjorie Newlin, pictured above, is an unbelievable 86 years old!!

..QUOTE OF THE CENTURY!
From my friend PHILIP in Ireland...
If I wake up, it is a good day.
If I wake up feeling wonderful, then it’s a good day in which I feel wonderful.
If I wake up not feeling great, it is a good day in which I’m not feeling great.
All it takes for me to win, is that I wake up.
Well I awoke today, and it feels good to be a winner." YES INDEED!! Are you a WINNER too? You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.
Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.
Take our FREE and CONFIDENTIAL Personal Happiness Index Test (PHI©) NOW As a writer, innovator, public speaker and executive director of DIVERSITY LEADERS UK, I have spent the past 14 years trying to make a difference to others through public recognition in my annual awards. Now I wish to make a difference to myself! Difficult to know how long one has left so it is time to stop and smell the roses while one still has breath! I must be the only woman in the world getting younger with each year. Being fearless in life, I refuse to let little trivialities like ageing or death worry me. Life is for living, says the old cliché, and I'm busy turning that into a fact!
GROWING OLDER DISGRACEFULLY As I am keen to enjoy every day of my life, my latest book, 10 Easy Steps to Growing Older Disgracefully, reflects this. I do not wish to be any other age because my life at 25 was nowhere as exciting and enjoyable as my life at 50. Nope, there will be no genteel ageing for me - I'll be going there disgracefully while enjoying every minute, which would make me highly unsuitable for those clinging to their past, their little comfort zones and their ageist/racist fears. But perfect for that special, exciting, wonderful soulmate!
Especially if you are TRULY HAPPY!
I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!
to find out just how HAPPY you really are!
The world is moving along so rapidly, thanks to technology, we have to dive in and enjoy it before we are left way behind. My main purpose now is to empower others through my life coaching and motivational expertise. For example, if you are tempted to see the worst before the best, why not change your outlook today and find something great first? It costs you nothing, you would make someone exceedingly happy and your world could become very powerful and magical!
I am a warm, tactile, passionate, confident, independent person who enjoys every aspect of life and believes in NOW. The past cannot be revisited and the future might never arrive, so the only time I really have is TODAY and I intend to make the most of it. I have a cheeky sense of humour and prefer spontaneity, flexibility, honesty and open-mindedness.

1. BUT...The person who risks NOTHING, has NOTHING, 2. Never make someone your PRIORITY when to them you're only an option...
3. Never allow yourself to be someone's something when you can be someone else's EVERYTHING!! (ANON)
4. When you make your mark, you will always attract some envy. Those who envy you will see your glory without knowing your story. But if the grass looks greener on your side of the fence, you can rest assured that the water bill is much higher too!! 5. KNOW YOUR PURPOSE. Purpose does not mean having a job. You can have a job and still be unfulfilled. A purpose is having a clear sense of who you are, not what you do. Above all, your purpose is not defined by what others think of you, but what you think of yourself. 7. The best things in life can never be kept. They must be given away: 8. LOVE DOES NOT THRIVE IN NEGATIVITY. It has understanding, compassion and empathy at its core. If you live in a culture where the men address the women as 'hoes', 'bitches' and other derogatory terms, just remember a key important thing: RESPECT does not come out of negativity either. It comes out of self-love. People who use those terms to describe their womenfolk are demonstrating their own level of low self-esteem, lack of respect for themself and disregard for their female relatives. With little self-respect, they are unable to love anyone else and will put others down to make themselves feel valued.
9. Don't be limited by other people's limitations.
10. Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
11. Watch your thoughts, for they become words. BEFORE YOU LEAVE MY PAGE:
To WEEP is to risk appearing sentimental;
To REACH OUT for another is to risk involvement;
To EXPOSE feelings is to risk rejection;
To place your DREAMS before the crowd is to risk ridicule.
To LOVE is to risk not being loved in return.
does NOTHING - and is NOTHING.
Only a person who risks is truly ALIVE and FREE.
an OPTIMIST sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
A SMILE, a HUG, a KISS and LOVE."
Choose your words, for they become actions.
Understand your actions, for they become habits.
Study your habits, for they will become your character.
Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny."
Anonymous
AND FINALLY (from me)....
12. We do not overcome evil by becoming evil ourselves! In that awful moment of madness we lose our self-respect and our integrity, falling from the moral high ground of justice to land with a thud on the same low level of injustice perpetrated by our oppressors...

First of all, I am very proud of my two very talented children, despite current difficulties. They were magical in their teenage years. We'll all be surrounding each other again with love in due course. I have also been a pioneer with a number of firsts to my name: like the first Black graduate of the awesome Open University; the first Black woman to create and edit her own national magazine in the UK; the first person to address members of the House of Commons on diversity issues; the first to introduce two national awards to encourage harmony and inclusiveness in the workplace and to recognise outstanding achievement among individuals of diverse communities. My simple belief is that we need each other, Black or White, to survive, and only mutual RESPECT and being inclusive can save us all. So I am neither above nor beneath anyone else, because it is through other people that I appreciate my own strengths, purpose and value.
A NOTE for my FRIENDS and their COMMENTS
TO ALSO reconcile with my two lovely children, André and Nicole, who have their own issues just now. NOTHING in life is worth such pain, such lost time, lost opportunities and lost love. Every moment is precious!!
BEST OF ALL....to be serenaded by Ben E King, Vel Omarr, Freddie McGregor and Neil Diamond - one after the other!!! What heaven!
Which of them would inspire you?

How long can you last with this game?
Can you reach 20 seconds? BEWARE...It IS addictive!!

How are you? Could use you comment on the YouTube page for this song since I am not allowed to do it. Plus a rating and letting your contacts know to do the same I would highly appreciate. It would help me a lot to get the downloads of just this song to return to the studio to record "Alles Wird Gut" that I wrote while in Europe and also one called "Red Roses On The Floor". Thank you in advance, Nikki Hornsby

Elaine, how are ya, jus sharing sum thoughts with ya, keep shining LoVe
Caught up in LoVe, Not the rapid spin of the Earth
Busy times continue but Love for all has a priceless worth

Love is all that is needed among earth for not one to be poor.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." --Marianne Williamson

The Woman
Your smile is earth’s sunshine
Your laughter is my favorite song
Your voice is the greatest instrument
Your words have calmed raging storms
Your heartbeat plays a perfect rhythm
Your love will remain immeasurable
Your eyes speak an Angel’s truth
Your mind strengthens a weary soul
Your body is the most beautiful statue
Your walk carries a mesmerizing stride
Your presence is my light by day & moon by night
You are the spirit that gives life its will to survive
