I agree that we project what we feel about ourselves. As feeling good is often directly linked to feeling that we LOOK good, I also think it is important that we fight the stereotypes and recognise beauty in all its forms. Thanks for the encouragement!

As a 40-something myself, I firmly believe that the invisibility so many older women experiences is a reflection of how they feel about themselves. So if you view yourself as no longer worthy of attention, somehow this attitude is unconsciously conveyed to others. It's hardly surprising that so many of us carry around this deep-seated belief, given the bombardment we suffer from the media regarding the reverse correlation between age and attractiveness. It's all nonsense though, and the sooner we start fighting the stereotype, the better. Hold your head up high, believe you are worthy of attention, and nurture your self-esteem - that's my advice to 40-somethings. You'll be amazed at the difference in those around you!
