There comes a time when the silence of complacency becomes too loud, when the ordinary hues of life demand the extraordinary — a spectrum that defies age, transcends time, and shatters the monochrome barriers of convention.

This is not a whisper of hope, but a war-cry of resolve. The path ahead is not littered with question marks, beckoning uncertainties and doubt. It unfurls before me as a boundless canvas, aching for the stroke of my wild heart’s palette. It’s not the years that define the artistry of living, but the living that defines the years.

With every dawn, I stand at the threshold of the unknown, armed with the audacity to dream and the paintbrush of my soul, dipped in the vivid inks of passion, courage, and unbridled zest. I am here to declare, not just to the world but to the very essence of my being, that my journey is not a timid tread but a stride of a maverick spirit.

The future beckons with open arms and a dare — to splash, to swirl, to blend the unexpected into a masterpiece of my own making. I answer with a resolute heart and a vision unclouded by the ‘coulds’ and ‘shoulds’. My every step carves a unique path, my every breath fuels the fire of creation.

This is not just living; this is living agelessly, where every moment is a bold brushstroke on the canvas of time. Watch out world, for here I come — not as a fleeting shadow, but as an indelible mark upon the tapestry of tomorrow.

The future is mine to paint, with all the shades of audacity and the contours of a dream realized. The question mark has been erased, and in its place, a declaration — to live boldly, wildly, and utterly agelessly!

I am in Vancouver visiting my daughter and family. I’m loving the time and also, taking time to craft my manifesto, my path forward as I carve space to welcome into being.. The me I’ve been waiting for.

I don’t have my paint supplies so have been playing with AI to generate images for my Dare Boldly: The Art of Ageless Living progam.

It’s been a fascinating exploration of AI and its capabilities to be a medium for creative expression. 

The image in both quotes – the one at the heading of this post and the one below — were both generated by AI — it took much prompting and clarifying — and while I continue to be committed to my artmaking, it sure was a lot of fun!
