Janine Hunka escaped an unsatisfying relationship and at a time in her life when things should have gotten easier, her life was forever changed by colon cancer. In this well-written exploration of what it takes to succeed in life after 50, many issues are discussed like how to learn to live without regrets. Our life's mistakes and recoveries have made us into the strong women that we've become.

Some of the ideas in this book can be implemented, like writing in a gratitude journal and considering a life review as therapy. There is a lot of information on how to think more positively about aging and to be more compassionate to yourself and others.

Basically this is a feel-good book about your next life stage and how to increase your enjoyment. The two things I'm finding are helping me stay stronger and feeling more youthful are putting collagen powder in my tea/coffee every morning and eating protein bars with pea protein in them. This author is also right about medicinal mushrooms helping cognitive function as we age, just read a book on the subject to know if anything will not go with your prescription medications. I am not a doctor, nor is this review medical advice. I just know how I feel!

I also only recommend non-religious yoga and meditation for health. At my age I don't need to be changing religions and am more interested in a sense of spirituality and being in love with God!

I remember when I used to tell people I thought life was all downhill after 45! I guess I felt that way in my late forties but now in my 50s things are changing and I really like myself a lot more, I'm making better decisions and I have new challenges to meet with wisdom and compassion. Medicinal mushrooms, collagen and pea protein have made my life better and I'm thinking more positively about aging now.

This book has encouraged me to keep trying new things and to realize I'm only as old as I think I am! I'm also a fan of stretching - that takes away my bodily pains at this age! I'm moving from a more sedentary lifestyle to more exercise and even got myself a trampoline with a handle to hold on to!!!!

Please consult with your doctor and nurse about any life changes or supplements. I try to read a whole book on each supplement I decide to take because at my age I'm on other prescription medications and I don't want any problems - even herbs can be pretty powerful!
