As women grow older, and more beautiful of course, there is sadly a movement to treat them as commodities. Sometimes they themselves have let this happen, they have forgotten about themselves, all invested in their care takers' role. But their lives are long, they should claim their existence back, finding ways to ensure a better quality life, self-care, personal and professional value. There are ways to beat the odds and remain strong, authentic, charismatic and caring individual, who knows her value and declares her independence, at any age. Women are chameleons, and they can and will always surprise you.
