The Best Kept Secret - Spread the Word!
Websites, blogs, and magazines targeting women over the age of 40, once virtually non-existent, are blossoming all around us. This really is our time! Our time to celebrate past accomplishments and to make plans for the future. Our future. It is a time to explore fresh avenues and forge new friendships. With that in mind, we plan to occasionally point out other great resources for your reading and networking pleasure.
We are about to let you in on the best kept secret. That’s “TheBestKeptSecret.ca,” a website originating out of Toronto, Ontario. As the banner says, “It’s like swapping stories and secrets over a glass of wine with girlfriends. You never know what you might find out.”
You will smile in recognition at the musings of the remarkable women who share their stories of life on the other side of 40. Karen Hamilton’s “Pick Up on Aisle 5” will leave you laughing as she recounts her deer-in-the headlights reaction to being asked out while shopping at the mall. “My first thought was that I was being robbed. I clutched my purse tightly.”
In “Dear Oprah Winfrey: Please cut me some slack,” Karen humorously pleads with Oprah to loosen the high standards she asks of us. “I know that forty is fabulous and fifty is fearsome. But do I have to love everything that’s happening to me now?” I’m with Karen on that one!
Just as Debbie Zipp has identified her “Inner Whistle,” Sharlene Premich recounts how, on a lonely New Year’s Eve, she found her “Colour Purple.” According to Sharlene, “It’s never too late to know yourself and re-discover yourself in new ways. Like a diamond in the rough, we all have a gem inside that’s just waiting to be discovered.” This seems to be the the common thread, the bond connecting us — this process of discovering who we really are, and re-inventing our lives in mid-stream to fit that new discovery. The more you delve into the stories of women over 40, the more you will understand about yourself, and exactly what you are capable of doing.
In addition to the poignant, funny and informative articles, The Best Kept Secret features a discussion board, welcomes article submissions, and offers a weekly email newsletter. From health tips and menopause, to career and family issues, The Best Kept Secret will have you coming back for more. So, kick back for a few moments, pour that glass of wine, and log on to The Best Kept Secret. Spend some time with kindred spirits.

This sounds like a great site. And, being well over forty, I’ve had many “deer in the headlight” moments as well as a number of those of self-discovery. Some are funny and some are bittersweet. My belief is that the years past forty are truly an amazing time in a woman’s life… it all comes down to her attitude.
