Why I’m handing back my Midlife membership card

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife

In a few days I will turn 51. It is not a momentous birthday like my last one (and I’m not in KL to celebrate it sadly), but I have come to a significant understanding — I am not cut out to be a Midlife Lady — at least not the type I sometimes encounter online. Here… Read More

7 Things No One Tells You About Your Fifties

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife
Midlife isn't a downward spiral to the grave, it's a time of freedom and awakening.

The only thing more talked about on women’s blogs than children is The Change. Somewhere around your fifties, you stop having your period and start having things that they call Symptoms. These are physical and psychological changes that seem to have the power to wreck lives and signal the start of a downward spiral into… Read More

A Woman’s Essence • Replanting Trees

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife

Women are like trees. As they grow in years they also grow in their power to provide shelter and to live in full bloom. Some people don’t like trees. Trees strike them as messy — they sway and grow chaotically against the perpendicular lines of houses and fences. Some people want to cut down trees, make them quiet, and make… Read More

The Birthday • planting lavender

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife

The smell was overwhelming. Not the sharp sting of hospital bleach, as I had expected, but a sickly sweet lavender smell that clung to the folds of my sweater. The room was warm and bright, the large windows overlooking acres of rolling hills dotted with sheep. My father sat in a recliner chair, the upholstery made… Read More

V is for Vision • #atozchallenge

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife

I’ve often wondered if all the hours I spent reading under the blankets with a torch when I was a kid contributed to my bad eyesight. I’m short sighted – I can’t see anything more than a few centimetres in front on my nose. Too vain to wear glasses, I have worn contact lenses since… Read More

I is for Invisible • 8 simple ways to fight back

by KatieP, in category Health | Sexuality

Women of a certain age complain loudly about feeling invisible. They report being ignored in shops and restaurants, eyes glancing past them as though they weren’t even there. Many women are reluctant to stop colouring their hair because they think this will make the problem worse. In the society we live in, older people in general,… Read More

Self Portrait 365|115 • You Look So Young

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife, Self Portrait 365

You Look So Young When I was a child I couldn’t wait to get older. I wanted to be thirteen so I could get my ears pierced, sixteen so I could have boyfriend, seventeen so I could drive and eighteen so I could vote. Even though it seemed to take a long, long time, I… Read More

The internet has been buzzing about Renee Zellweger’s plastic surgery. This flurry of commentary has made me think about my own opinions.

Growing Old Disgracefully • Not Your Grandma’s Grey

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife
silver sisters

Rather than believing that my best days are in the past, I am looking forward to middle age. I don’t subscribe to the notion that joy belongs only to the young — in fact, I’m beginning to think that youth is highly overrated.

Staying Alive • A Genetic Predisposition

staying alive • a genetic predisposition

“How the actual fuck did you even stay alive?” was the comment she made after reading about the death of my husband.

When do you stop being sexy?

by KatieP, in category Health | Sexuality
When do you stop being sexy? • Does beauty have a use-by date? • from head-heart-health.com

A photographic exhibition by Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf called Mature shows a series of older women in classic pin-up poses. These photos have stirred up the full range of positive and negative emotions in both men and women. For me, as maturity approaches at a rapid rate, I worry that I’ll reach the point where I’m no longer… Read More

Author – Katie Paul

I have survived adoption, bulimia and the suicide of my husband, more or less unscathed. I attribute my resilience to my guardian angels Bob, Fred and Hugo.

I used to be a stage manager but gave it all up to create beautiful images and to write about loss, love, lust and longing. I get a bit raunchy at times because that’s the way life should be – full of big juicy moments. I'm sure Bob, Fred and Hugo agree.
