can you believe i turn 63 today? honestly, my 10th birthday is still fresh in my mind. it was a sleepover party that was interrupted by a tornado that ripped through town. my parents hustled us down to the basement, with my dad creating a makeshift tent out of mattresses to keep us safe. 63 won’t be quite as exciting with a forecast of clear skies and temps soaring into the 90s. and that’s okay by me. but can you believe i’m firmly in my third act of life? the age of 60 ushers in the last three decades of life – the third act. the first act commences at birth and continues to age 30. these are the years where we figure out who we are and the world around us. the second act begins at 31 and ends when we turn 60. this is a time of rising conflicts and honing new skills and a higher sense of awareness of what we’re truly capable of. then enters the third act. and i’ve thought long and hard about how i want to use this time, how i can make a difference with the last years of my life because the third act is the final act. so how do we live a vibrant and purposeful life in a youth-driven culture where society has deemed us old? do we passively accept the “old geezer” stereotypes where our mental and physical capacity is the brunt of a joke? are we really set in our ways and unable to change our behavior? there’s a study by Becca Levy, Ph.D. assistant professor at Yale that studied people 50 years and older. those with more positive self-perceptions of aging lived 7.5 years longer than those with negative self-perceptions of aging. the study appeared in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (Vol. 83, No. 2).
then there’s an inordinate amount of emphasis on how we look, especially women. society wants us to eternally chase the fountain of youth. it’s a compliment, or so they say to look years “younger” than our age and an insult to look “old.” why is it that the most flattering thing you can say to an older person is that he “doesn’t look his age” or “doesn’t act his age” why is it a bad thing to look old? why do we qualify she looks good for her age? why can’t we just look good or act our age without a negative connotation? yes, ageism is alive and well, which is one reason this blog and social channels are dedicated to aging with grace, strength, and beauty. in case you hadn’t heard, every single person that woke up today is one day older. aging is a natural and beautiful phenomenon.
there have been lots of exciting things happening on the backend of the blog for months. can’t wait for the unveiling. but i will share and have been sharing for months the three pillars this blog is built on: aging with grace, strength, and beauty. what, exactly, is aging with grace, strength, and beauty? you ask.
- grace – grace is courteous, grace is dignified, grace is elegant
- strength – strength is robust, strength is vigor, strength is power
- beauty – beauty is brilliant, beauty is excellent quality, beauty is lovely
attitude is everything, especially as we age. life is a gift and we need to treat it as such. if we have reached the third act of our lives, then we understand all too well that anything can be taken from us at any moment, including our health and wealth. but one thing that can never be taken away is our attitude; it’s our freedom to choose how we respond to life. so i say yes to living life with passion. and making my life count. i want to age with grace, strength, and beauty.
here are a few things i’ve discovered at the age of 63: i no longer have to prove anything to anyone. and i don’t carry grudges anymore. i place value on wisdom and authenticity. and i try to live mindfully. my body may be deteriorating even though i’m giving it my best shot to keep it healthy. and that goes for my brain too. yes, i may have a few more wrinkles than at age 40 or even 50, but my attitude has improved. it’s time to let go and live purposefully, to be present, live in the moment, and not worry about the past or what could go wrong in the future.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Beth!
You always look great! You live you to your slogan to live with grace, strength and beauty.
Love your hair styled in the picture with the robe and coffee cup. Like the bangs swept down and over. Have a great day!
Happy Birthday! I am also 63 and have been following your blog and enjoy your YouTube channel. I retired in 2020 and continue to explore my new lifestyle ( even if COVID ruined some plans). Love the grace, strength, beauty, concept. May your day be full and fun!
Happy Birthday Beth. Hope you have a wonderful day and a happy and healthy year
Happy Birthday, Beth! You are a beautifully gifted lady who shows us all how to live life fully by being the best we can be through your strength, beauty and Grace. I hope you have a day as beautiful as you,
Profound wisdom from a beautiful lady! Happy birthday.
Happy 63rd Birthday, Beth (from a fellow Virgo). I’ll be 66 in a couple of weeks, and can only hope I have half of your grace, strength, beauty.
Wonderful outlook on life. Every day is a gift, and we need to live that way as we age. Happy birthday and here’s to many more. I throughly enjoy your posts!
Thank you. Perfect words to live by. Happy Birthday, Beth.
Happy Birthday Beth! This is a great article, puts everything into perspective! Very inspiring! Wishing you a healthy and happy year! I enjoy all your articles!
Hi Beth,
The number one most important thing to share is to wish you a very happy birthday. I am sure you will see to it that it is joyful. You are such a delightful lady. Attitude always determines so much in your life snd of course when all is taken away from us what is left is how you respond.
Thank you for sharing so much of your wisdom. You are a unique treasure.
Well said, Beth! Day after day, you’ve illustrated a fourth pillar to grace, strength and beauty. Wisdom! Happy birthday. EnJoy your day!
Happy Birthday Beth, I love your posts and the outfits that you wear.
All excellent points. But more importantly: where are the German shepherds? lol. 🙂
I’m 57 and I hope to have an attitude just like you in my 60s. Plus your hair.
We adopted a GSD from the military (bounced for being too friendly). I’m not sure I can do another shepherd. A lot of work to keep him exercised etc.
Great blog!
Wendy TheInspiredEater
Happy Birthday Beth!! You make 63 (and any other age) look fabulous!!!! Wishing you a day filled with love, laughter and cake!

A very happy birthday 🎁🎉🎈 Beth!!
Hoping your day is filled with happiness but above, good health, for many more to come!
Beautifully said, it makes you stop to think we are so blessed! Thank you!
Happy birthday! This over 60 gig isn’t so bad. I’ll be 64 (wonder if Paul will sing to me) in October. I figure any day I wake up is going to be a fabulous one! At least, I’m working hard to make it that way. Sure there are the aches and pains that come with aging joints, but I just walk ‘em away! I decided to start a blog this year and am enjoying the steep learning curve. I hope you enjoy your day!
I like your blog, your attitude is wonderful, your perspective is appreciated and valued. Thank you for all you “put out there” – it is more impactful than you know.
Have a very Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you.
When I turned 63 in 2014 my husband and I moved to Spain. We are spending the last third of our lives traveling the world. While COVID slowed us down a bit we have never looked back. We just keep getting better with age.
Sometimes it is a challenge to find
similar styles here in Spain, but overall
I have found that I can keep myself updated. Thank you for the daily input.
🎂 Happy Birthday!
Your post today was great about the third chapter of our lives! I do not wish to have mine filled with anything or anyone who is negative and to do what makes me happy. Also I agree about being able to help others.
Happy Birthday Beth. Have a wonderful day. Thank you for all your inspiration
Happy Happy Birthday dear Beth! Enjoy harvest time of all you have sowed up to this point. It will be a rich and varied harvest I am sure.
Happy Birthday Beth! Thanks for your inspiring post. I too turned 63 this week and love the things you said about aging. I love your attitude, wisdom, beauty, and grace. I think I am going to print out your last sentence in this post and make it my mantra! Have a great birthday!
Happy Birthday Beth,
You look AMAZING! You are my daily dose of inspiration. Since I have been following you I feel healthier and younger and well dare I say more beautiful!
Thank you so much for all you do.
Enjoy this fabulous day!
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday! I turn 60 in a couple months and your blog is one of my favorites. I love ” i no longer have to prove anything to anyone. and i don’t carry grudges anymore.” Thank you for sharing your inspirations on helping us to learn to age gracefully.

Happy birthday Beth. Have a wonderful day! Cake and ice cream have no calories today, so dig in.
Happy Birthday and love your post. I am why past 63 but do my best to live your motto each day. The only thing I would add is try to do for others each day. Each a day is truly a gift.
Happiest of birthdays to you. Attitude is definitely a life changer.
Happy Birthday Beth 🥳
Happy Birthday Beth! Couldn’t agree with you more. Have a great day and a year full of delights. I turned 77 at the end of May. XO Kathy
I think you are succeeding in aging gracefully! Happy Birthday and may you have many more, and continue to show us how to do it!
Happy birthday to you, Beth! Thank you for all the inspiration. I appreciate your courageous approach to life. Have a great day, and keep on being you!
Happy, happy birthday to a beautiful lady, you are truly an inspiration to all of us who read your blog faithfully. I love how you capture so much more than fashion in this blog. You seek to capture everyday in the best possible way which enables others to grasp on to happiness and contentment. I have never met you but feel my life has only improved getting to know you through this blog. I turn 60 in a few days and welcome this new decade, I rather like the person I have become. Keep shining!
I really needed the pep talk this morning. Thank you
Happy Birthday Beth! Love your positive attitude.
Thank you for sharing these moments in your life. Becoming older, wiser and more lovely is a blessing. Not everyone gets to do it!
Wishing you an abundantly blessed birthday and year to come.
“in a youth-driven culture where society has deemed us old”
Advertisers, not society, have deemed us old. In their endless quest for our $$$.
But you can’t believe everything advertisers push.
& I, for one, don’t want to “look young,” which according to advertisers means dye jobs, Botox & fillers to eliminate wrinkles, this cream, that makeup, etc.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m plenty vain. But I’m 58 not 21 & my face should reflect that I’ve LIVED & ENJOYED those years between. Why would I want my face to look like I’ve never laughed, smiled, cried?
Happiest of Birthdays, Beth! You are fabulous! 🍾🎂💥
Wishing you a very happy birthday! Look forward to reading your blog every day and your outlook on life in general is an inspiration to me at 64!
I too will be 63 in September. I am so glad I found you. You are an inspiration for all of us in the third act of life. Wishing you a happy birthday!!!!
I’m 71 (about to turn 72) and I agree with every word you’ve said! Have a wonderful birthday, Beth, and many, many more!
Wishing you the happiest of happy birthdays, Beth! With your abundance of grace, strength, beauty (and don’t forget resilience), you’ll be an inspiration for us all well into the future!
Happy Birthday! Enjoy the day as much as I enjoy your column.
Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday, Beth!
I just turned 60 myself. It was a super big deal for me. As I was growing up both my mother and I were told that I would not live past 30, so I told everyone that I will stay 29 forever and celebrate anniversaries. Every decade I came to was another, “HA! I proved you wrong.” To those that said I would not live. This year I am telling everyone that I am sexty at being sixty! Have a super day!
Wishing you a magical birthday, Beth.
First of all, happy birthday, Beth. I am always engaged in reading your articles here in your style at a certain age. I cannot agree more with what you said especially about life and attitude. Keep us inspired with your messages.
Happy Birthday Beth!!! Love reading your daily posts; you give your readers so much joy and wisdom and I just love your spirit!! Have a wonderful day and a terrific year, peace and happiness friend 🙂
Happy Birthday! I’m also 63 and embracing my age, the most content time of my life. Take care and many happy returns of the day.
You are so right and very inspiring! Having just turned 60 I appreciate this post immensely. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday! Such a good posting. I should save it and read it over and over again! Thanks for your wisdom words.
Happiest of Birthdays Beth! I’m sure you have some exciting plans for your day. Your inspiring words today and everyday have helped me to look at life differently. Thank you for your gift to us who follow you!! Enjoy your day!
Happy birthday! Wishing you a wonderful day and whole year with lots of fun, laughter, friendship and new adventures.
Given the study you reference, I think you’d enjoy the book ‘The Happiness Curve: Why Life Gets Better After 50’ by Jonathan Rauch, and also the work of Dr. Laura Carstensen at the Stanford Center on Longevity.
Happy Birthday, Beth! You are an inspiration to all who read this blog. Enjoy your special day. 🧁
Suzanne
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag
Dear Beth, you are a wonderful women and of course a role model for a lady, who will age with a smile 😊 every day. Happy birthday
Happy Birthday to you!!! Today’s post was a tribute to you and a gift to all of your readers. May we take it to heart!!! I know you try to avid sugar, but today calls for a big slice of chocolate cake with gooey icing!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH🎈🎈. You are an inspiration to us all living in the final stage of our lives! We need people of our generation in our corner keeping us informed and current, which you do so well. Take care & keep healthy! 🇨🇦
Happy Birthday Beth!
You are a gift to us!
FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS BETH, Y DIOS TE BENDIGA CON MUCHOS AÑIS DE SALUD. ERES MI PERSONA FAVORITA A SEGUIR DESDE MIS 60, AHORA TENGO 67. DISFRUTALOS EN FAMILIA. Daisy
Happy Birthday Beth and rock on!!
Beth, Your Grace, Strength, Beauty, Style and Advice are such an inspiration! Happy Birthday!
( Age is just a number but you look great for any age!!)
Love your blog, Beth. I turned 69 in June and enjoy exercise, pickleball, my art (retired art teacher), and FASHION! Your blog yesterday on swimsuits was fabulous and you look fabulous. You have given me more confidence to wear swimsuits. I’m fit, 5’4”, 120 pounds but still don’t like seeing myself in a swimsuit. Next time I suit up (which is often in SW Florida), I’ll think of you.
Hi Beth
Happy birthday
Glad you have a good time at the beach.
Love your advise, they are very true.
I think too much about the future.
Have to change attitude!!!.
I will try to do better.
Thank you
Congratulations on your birthday! Wishing you a truly fabulous day.
Happy Birthday , enjoy your day!
Happy Birthday & many more!
Happy birthday 🎂 Beth! Great article and attitude! Wishing you many, many more!

Happy birthday to an incredibly beautiful and classy lady.
Happy birthday lovely lady in every ways.
You inspire me and I look forward to read your blog every day. From a 79yr old from Quebec, Canada.
Wish you health and many more years to enjoy life.
Happy birthday. Many happy returns of the day. Your post is so refreshing and inspiring. Best wishes from Malta.
Wish you a very special birthday!
Good health and many more years to enjoy life like you seem to do.
From a 79 yr old from Quebec, Canada
Can’t seem to be able to send you my best wishes for your birthday.
They refuse my message saying that I’ve already sent something similar which is false. It’s my third try!
I’m 79yrs old from Quebec,Canada
Have a nice day
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday, may there be many more.
All the best to you on your birthday! This was another inspiring commentary on the best years of our lives – when I look in the mirror I see HAPPY! I’ve also added the words “You Look Beautiful” to my bathroom mirror because reinforcement solidifies attitude! I’m 66 but well preserved because I live in cold Canada so I celebrate today with our Georgia Peach! Bonne fête!
Happy birthday
Happy birthday, dear Beth! 🌺
Wishing you all the best and a wonderful day.
Thank you so much for your inspiring posts. Your messages always make me feel happy.
Love from Germany.
Anna
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Beth. Eat cake and drink champagne🥂
The third act is one of the best times of our lives in many ways. We can see what really matter, and if we are wise, we will model that for our youth. I love what Angelina Jolie told her daughters. Anyone can put on makeup and a pretty dress, but it’s what you do with your life that matters. I love makeup and pretty dresses, but leaving the world a kinder place it key for me.
Own the day and your age, Beth – 🥂
Happy birthday, Beth. Very well written post today. I appreciate your blog where you encourage women of a certain age to live life with positivity and gusto, and face singleness with grace. God bless.
How come you refuse my message to Beth. I wrote three times to wish her a happy birthday but each time you refused my message saying that I had already sent a similar message?
Happy Birthday! I love your honesty. One of my favorite quotes is, “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?”
You’re beautiful!
May God continue to bless you.
Happy Birthday, Beth! Hope your special day is filled with love and happiness!
Thank you for all your work that you share with of us. I look forward to your blog everyday.
Cheers from Central Missouri!
Well said. Happy birthday!!!
¡¡¡Feliz Cumpleaños Beth!!!, espero que lo pases muy bien junto a tu familia, yo estuve de cumpleaños el lunes 23 de agosto, cumplí 59 años y desde hace ya varios años que te sigo, me encanto tu reflexión acerca del paso de los años, yo todavía estoy en ese proceso de dejar rencores por ejemplo y trato dia a dia de no tener que dar explicaciones por todo ya no más. Un abrazo desde Santiago de Chile.
Have a wonderful day!
I have been having an incredibly stressful week and feeling pretty down. Your post has been the most lovely pick-me-up.
As someone else said here “own the day”!
Happy Birthday – I hope you are enjoying your special day with some of your kiddos. Wishing you many more years of happiness
Happy Birthday, Beth! We are now the same age. Please keep writing your blog. I get such great inspiration from your posts. I am anxious to see what surprises you have in store for us. You look lovely as always. I am sure that Mr Style is smiling down at you from above, and so very proud of your strength, beauty, and grace. Cheers!
Joanie from Iowa
Happiest of Birthdays to you, dear Beth!!! And here’s to many MORE!
happy birthday beth! i’m a decade ahead of you, and to be sure.,,grace, beauty and strength along with passion, attitude and wisdom support us through our maturing years.
thank you for your elegance!
Today, a friend sent me this: “Don’t look back. That’s not where you’re headed”. Well, I thought of you. That’s something you would say. Thank you for the “final third” way to think about my life. Not done ’til I’m 90, so get to it! Happy Birthday too.
Happy Birthday! I love the belt you are wearing! Where can I buy it?
Happy Birthday, Beth! Such positive thoughts as you turn 63. Thank you for reminding me to not worry about what MIGHT happen, and to live in the “right now”. I wish you a year of good health and good fortune.
I just loved this inspirational post, and the accompanying photos, too! Happy Birthday to a fellow August baby . . . I, too, turned 63 on August 5th! Grace, Strength, and Beauty . . . . my new mantra!
Happy Birthday, Beth! I hope it’s a good o e.
Loved your talk about making the third act count. I turn 60 in January and it’s something I’ve been thinking about.
Sincerely,
Patti
Happy Birthday Beth! Really enjoy your blogs. I turned 67 this year. I enjoy life but it’s going by way too fast!
Happy Birthday Beth and thank you for all you do. Your blog and IG are informative and have helped brighten my days especially over the last few years.
A very happy birthday to you Beth!
My gosh you’ve given me such inspiration. Your blog post today is excellent! Yes, graceful and mindful. I’ve been struggling since losing my mom. Struggling terribly. My mom was so full of beauty and grace. She was my guiding light. I’m almost 60 and have been feeling so very lost in the aftermath of losing her. So I thank you for such uplifting and solid words. I will keep this post close at hand.
All my best,
Lesa
Happy Birthday Beth!! Love your post.
Happy birthday, Beth. I so enjoy reading your posts; they are very inspiring. I will be 72 next week so I’ve been in this 3rd act for awhile. I was wondering though since my parents lived until 99 and 98, could there be a 4th act? What do you think? Hope you have a great day. Cheers from Iowa.
Thank you for this!!! We all need this perspective.
Happy, happy birthday! I’m thankful for blogs like yours that encourage us to be the best women we can be & celebrate our aging process in such a positive way.
Thank you for this lovely volg on your birthday. I am 58 and in the process of caring for my husband of 35 years who’s approaching hospice care. You’ve been a huge inspiration to me. Helping me look ahead to being along in my third act. Stay well and be safe.
Happy Birthday to the bright spot of my day! I always read style at a certain age first! Your inspiring words are a reflection of your lovely self. Have a wonderful day and year!
Love your passion and beauty Beth! Happy Birthday! Cheers to a great year!
A very Happy Birthday, Beth.
Thank you for your beautiful posts – I enjoy them every day.
Happy Birthday Beth. I will also be turning 63 in a couple weeks. I loved your post today. Thank You !!

Dear Happy Birthday from Croatia !!!🎈🎈🎈
Dear Beth,
I’ve been a reader of your blog for years. I live in Poland. The realities of my life are sometimes different than in America, but I think the same. I am only two years younger … in a few days they will be 61. In my country, we wish you “100 years!” Keep writing, because I really like reading and looking at your photos.
I cordially greet you – Janka
Hi to you Beth from your “down under” follower. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday today and Good Health and Happiness for the year to follow. I will be thinking of you – that you are hopefully tucking into a large piece of birthday cake xx Meg
