Product Review
Best-selling author and lecturer Marianne Williamson provides a refreshing way to approach midlife, not viewing midlife through glasses emphasizing decline and loss, but through a framework of endless possibility, wisdom, an embracing of and creation of new meaning, a turning towards life, a realization of the limitlessness of God, a forgiving of the past, a re-imagination of relationships, and being one with the world around us with her book, The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New Midlife.
What we have called middle age need not be seen as a turning point toward death. It can be viewed as a magical turning point toward life as weve never known it, if we allow ourselves the power of an independent imaginationthought-forms that dont flow in a perfunctory manner from ancient assumptions merely handed down to us, but rather flower into new archetypal images of a humanity just getting started at 45 or 50.
Midlife is not a crisis; its a time of rebirth. Its not a time to accept your death; its a time to accept your lifeand to finally, truly live it, as you and you alone know deep in your heart it was meant to be lived.
