This month marks a major achievement for On Fire and Over 50!
When I started this blog three years ago, I wasn't sure if it would still be here after one year and here we are, three years later and growing. Thank you to my loyal readers and those who follow me on FaceBook and Pinterest, too.


This month we have recapped the two main keys to staying young physically and mentally (movement and learning/socializing). I also introduced to you the changes you will see over the next year to the On Fire and Over 50 website.

Momentum is increasing and I am super excited. The growth has been slow, but it has been steady. I would rather have a few devoted followers who really value the blog than a lot of followers who never read or interact.


If you know of any woman (or women) who are approaching 50 or who are over 50 (60, 70, 80, and beyond) that you think would benefit from encouragement or could contribute to our positive learning or anything else....send them my way.


We are all growing older each day that we wake up and each day presents itself with new challenges. Bring those challenges here and let's all discuss them. Let's help each other and share our wisdom and encourage each other.


Looking forward to the next year with you!


😍

Starting this blog was the best thing I have done for myself in years. Over the last three years, I have met a lot of awesome women and incredible men.

In the coming year, you will see some changes to this site. Changes that I hope you will find useful and fun. Under the "Stuff" tab, you will find a lot of other "Stuff" with the plan of adding new "Stuff" as the site grows.

Some of the “Stuff” I am adding are sub tabs to the following:

  • Resources;
  • links;
  • Misc.
  • Future tabs will include videos
  • Products and Gifts
  • Photos

These changes won't happen overnight, but they will be added over the next year - so stay tuned!

Over the last three years, I have gone from knowing nothing about blogging
to learning that I love it!
I am excited that On Fire and Over 50 is growing
and hope you find the addition of this new tab valuable.


What other features would you like to see on this site? Do you have ideas for future blogs? What are your thoughts on the new "Stuff" tab on the On Fire and Over 50 website? Please share your ideas in the comments or go to the contact page and email me. I would love to hear from more of you!


Happy 3rd Birthday to Us!

SPECIAL: Happy 3rd Birthday to On Fire and Over 50! What have we learned?

This has been a great year for this group.
​I received a lot of emails with some great ideas for blogs. I appreciate those ideas. Please keep them coming.



For the most part, this past year, I have stressed MOVEMENT.

The biggest key to staying healthy and young is to keep moving. I hope you got that message and if you haven't been active, I hope the blogs encouraged you. There are a lot of studies that back up the importance of keeping the body moving.


The other major message of this past year is keeping the mind active.

Staying social with old friends, new friends, groups, and other people is an important factor to staying young in our thinking. The founder of the Ford Motor Company, Henry Ford, provided good advice that is backed up by researched.

Here's a reminder of Mr. Ford's advice:



“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.
Anyone who keeps learning stays young.
The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.”


In my opinion, that's the best advice you can take. If you are physically limited to what you can do, you can still keep your mind healthy and active. Young thinking will affect your physical age, also.
We learned this from C.S. Lewis and the Bible:



“We are
what we believe we are.”

C.S. Lewis
(Clive Staples Lewis was a British writer and lay theologian.
He held academic positions in English literature at both Oxford University
and Cambridge University, Died at the age of 65)


“As a man thinketh,
so is he.”

Proverbs 23: 7
Bible – KJV


Hopefully, we all learned and are putting into action these two valuable keys to youth:
Staying physically and mentally active.


On Fire will be getting some new features this coming year. Some are things I wanted to add and some are from suggestions I received. Hope you stayed tuned and help us grow, grow, grow!


Do you have burning questions about aging and need answers? Do you have good ideas and advice for growing older but not old? Let's share ideas and support each other as we take the road less traveled for aging!

SPECIAL: Welcome to October! A Special Month - My 3rd Year Blog Birthday!

10/5/2018

October is the month of transitions. Summer is officially gone and fall is here. Soon it will be the holidays and then the new year. The trees are starting to change colors already here in North Carolina. I love this time of year!

The official birthday of my blog is later in the month, so look for that special post. There will be some news there. We are growing. I hope you join us. Small growth at first and increasing as the year progresses.

Life has been challenging in the last three weeks or so. I am still trying to clean up and organize my house after having new wood floors installed throughout. (I love them!) and we spent our annual week vacation at the beach, AND my husband had a small heart attack resulting in a stent. We also had one truck in the shop, one with a flat tire, and only one vehicle to get us both around. Whew! What a month.


If you have any ideas for blog topics or features that you would like to see, email your ideas to me and I will put them in my consideration folder that I pull from. I get emails from people asking for certain topics already, but I would love more ideas. I want to write what you want to read.

Celebrate our birthday month with me! 
Without you, there would be nothing to celebrate!


What do you do during the month of October? Do you have fall parties or gatherings? What did you do to celebrate the end of summer? Share your ideas!

XOXO
