Amazing Grays: A Woman's Guide to Making the Next 50 the Best 50 *Regardless of your hair color!
Amazing Grays is a candid, insightful and inspiring guide for maturing woman on how to live a vibrant, engaged and joyful life - regardless of the changes happening to ones body! Written for boomers who are unwilling to become feeble old women with boobs in their laps, dreams on the shelf, and Memory Lane their only destination, this book has a little to do with hair color and a lot to do with waking up to the possibilities of the second half of life. When an epiphany in a hair salon convinced the author, Maggie Crane, to try life without hair dye, she had no idea it would bring her face to face with the fears and questions that unsettle many maturing women living in a cult-ure of youth and beauty... Who am I now that I m no longer young and fertile? Will I still be desirable? Will I become invisible? Is this the beginning of the end? Is it too late to make a difference? Who am I now? This moment of reckoning is unique to every woman, whether it is winding down a career, an empty-nest or the changing landscape of her body. One way or another, at one time or another, we all feel the stress and uncertainty of passing through midlife.
On a quest to reclaim her inner peace and establish a new sense of self, Maggie confronted the notion that there is something wrong with growing older and turned to her wise-woman within to explore her beliefs, emotions and expectations about aging - from changing social and family roles to changes in body and appearance, even changes in perspective and purpose. An entire section of the book is devoted to understanding and transcending the negative chatter in our minds and exploring roots of a deeper kind. With a series of simple questions, Maggie encourages readers to explore their own limiting beliefs and perspectives around aging. She shares how redirecting her focus from her packaging to her essence gave her the perspective to age mindfully and joyfully. (After, of course, a bit of kicking and screaming.) By sharing her experience and research, Maggie provides a wealth of insight and useful information on menopause, sexuality, health, and the sometimes extreme measures we take to maintain our youthful appearance. What began as a revelation in a hair salon ends with a deepening awareness and appreciation for the ongoing circle of life. This is not an anti-aging book, nor a book about gray hair. It s about how to age with grace, gratitude and gusto!.

Turning Heads: Portraits of Grace, Inspiration, and Possibilities
Hats and head scarves are nowhere to be seen in these portraits of women who have lost their hair during treatment for cancer. Each picture, taken by a well-known photographer, captures bald women too intent on work or play to be bashful about their looks—among others, Melissa Etheridge belts out a Janis Joplin tune at the 2005 Grammys, a rodeo cowgirl poses with the cowboys, a surfer climbs a wave in Hawaii, and a nun scrutinizes her poker hand. A foreword and afterword by the author describe the genesis of the book, her own experience with cancer and hair loss, and the brave women who posed for pictures. Photo credits and profiles are provided for the photographers, who include Eddie Adams, Debbie Fleming Caffery, Reuben Cox, Rob Gauthier, Lauren Greenfield, David Hume Kennerly, Antonin Kratchovil, Harry Langdon, Gerd Ludwig, Jay Maisel, Catherine Opie, Harvey Stein, Nick Vedros, and Annie Wells. .

Wake-Up Calls: Making The Most Out Of Every Day (Regardless Of What Life Throws You)
"We could all benefit from learning how to reduce our stresses, to let go of our emotional blocks, and to embrace life's joy," writes Joan Lunden, cohost of "Good Morning America" for almost 20 years. In Wake-Up Calls: Making the Most out of Every Day (Regardless of What Life Throws You), she shares the winning strategies that have worked for her. Lunden offers tidbits and personal stories to give her spin on enthusiasm, goal-setting, self-esteem, change, stress, parenting, aging, and more. She includes sections by various others who contribute their wisdom: Tony Robbins, Ellen McGrath, Zig Ziglar, Brian Luke Seaward, Jonathan Kabat-Zinn, Deepak Chopra, and even Joan Rivers. Numerous quotes from folks as diverse as Saint Francis of Assisi, Sir Winston Churchill, Martha Washington, Charles Shultz, Lily Tomlin, and Irving Berlin pepper the book (a favorite: "Big deal! I'm used to dust!"--Erma Bombeck's requested gravestone epitaph). Dozens of photos of Lunden doing athletic activities and posing with loved ones illustrate the chapters. This book is an improvement over Joan Lunden's A Bend in the Road Is Not the End of the Road: 10 Positive Principles for Dealing with Change because here she offers helpful lessons and tips. Readers might still feel that the lights shine too brightly on her as the central character, as in the earlier book. But if you like Lunden and miss seeing her on TV, you'll enjoy this book. --Joan Price.
