Do you have trouble remembering what you did yesterday? Do younger people call you "ma'am" or "sir"? Do you not recognize that face in the mirror anymore? If any of this sounds familiar, welcome to Midlife! But don't run away screaming about your "lost" youth or the fear that you're "past your prime." New York Times best-selling author and spiritual activist Marianne Williamson reminds us that now is the time when you can have more fun, more meaning, more passion, and more enlightenment than you could ever imagine. In her new book, The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New Midlife, she discusses how! Purchase The Age of Miracles today from your local bookseller or online. |

How would you live if you related to age as a spiritual incline rather than a physical decline? How would you live if you felt full permission from yourself and others to give life all you've got? Would midlife be a time to shut down or a time to get started? Would it be time to give up or a time to claim what you really want? Would it be time to just hang out or time to stop messing around?
Of course, you can age on autopilot if you'd like. But Marianne would challenge you to reach beyond any predetermined formulas you or anyone else may have for what's possible at this time in your life. No matter what did or did not happen in your past, the present remains an endless fount of miraculous opportunities. As Marianne attests, God works miracles anytime, anywhere, for anyone; the last thing that could slow Him down is the fact that you're older than you used to be. Marianne Williamson's The Age of Miracles is the first book that has given us a refreshing look at the new midlife—where 40 is the new 30, 50 is the new 40. According to Marianne, baby boomers will not be considered the "lost" generation—but rather the generation that had to lose a decade or two in order to find themselves. Our generation has a lot to answer for, having partied so long and matured so late. Yet now that there is less time left, we're ready at last to show up for it! In The Age of Miracles, Marianne will open your eyes and help you discover how to:
With A Course of Miracles as her compass, Marianne sprinkles its golden nuggets throughout her wonderful book—The Age of Miracles—as she helps us navigate through our pain and challenges, ultimately uncovering the path to our spiritual journey. She writes, It's important to celebrate your life—it's the one God gave you. If He were leaving you a text message, I think it would say, "Enjoy yourself." Marianne claims that The Age of Miracles is a time of renewal. Nothing that happened before this moment has any bearing on what's possible now, except that what you learn from it can be fuel for a magnificent future. With The Age of Miracles, Marianne teaches us how to forgive our past, using its struggles and challenges as catalysts for personal growth. As she reminds us, You may not be able to lift your legs as high in your aerobics class, but you can lift a knowing eyebrow in a way that only comes with years of experience! The new midlife is a call of the soul not to end our lives but to finally begin them. Not to close our eyes, but to finally see. Start to see more possibilities in your own life when you read Marianne's new book, The Age of Miracles. Purchase The Age of Miracles today from your local bookseller or online. |

| Excerpt from The Age of Miracles | |
|
Sometimes what we appear to have lost is simply something it was time to leave behind. Perhaps our system just lets something go, our having moved through the experience and now needing it no more. A friend of mine was sitting once with two of his best friends, a couple he'd partied long and hard with during the 1960s. At about ten in the evening the couple's twenty something daughter came home, saw them on the couch, and admonished them, "You guys are so boring! You never go out!" To which all three responded in unison, "We were out, and now we're in."
The mind is its own kind of dance floor. What this generation could do from our rocking chairs could literally rock the world. If in fact the highest, most creative work is the work of consciousness, then in slowing down we're not doing less; we're doing more. Having slowed down physically, we're in a better space to rev up psychically. We are becoming contemplative. We are shifting from the outer to the inner not in order to begin our demise, but to reseed and regreen the consciousness of the planet. And that's what is happening now: We're going slower in order to go deeper, in order to go faster in the direction of urgently needed change.
