Little Old Ladies don't just happen--they are created by default. The road to little old lady-hood starts early in mid life but if a well thought out plan of prevention is in place, midlife women can keep and improve their current level of youthful attributes for at least another 25 years. One reason most women don't achieve their desired degree of agelessness is because the traditional retirement oriented senior culture does not support growth and productivity. The negative power of the senior culture is something few women are aware of, and nobody talks about it...until now. This aging influence in the lives of older women has finally been "outed" and you must discover what it's all about and how to avoid it in No More Little Old Ladies!

You can be little. You can be old. You can be a lady. But you don’t have to be a little old lady! We’ve all seen her, hunched forward, her hair tucked neatly under a plastic rain bonnet. She’s clutching expired coupons, or discussing her latest health problems over lunch. She’s a little old lady . . . and she's coming your way at 2 mph. Little old ladies have elastic waistbands on all their slacks. They save rubber bands, remember fifteen-cent McDonald’s hamburgers, and have never seen a public rest room that was clean enough. How Not to Become a Little Old Lady is for any woman who is proud to have escaped little old ladyhood—or those in danger of slipping into it. Lighthearted and affectionately funny, it also includes charming illustrations from Adrienne Hartman.

Now 20 minutes later he sat at the kitchen table. Elbows straddling his half - eaten breakfast plate as he stared out the kitchen window just above the sink. He'd drunk half a cup of coffee before the questions began surfacing in his mind again. They were the same questions that had been troubling him for months now. It was a beautiful day, but he didn't care, he just kept thinking. "Who am I?" Brad asked himself for perhaps the hundredth time, "and how did I get here?" His mind was flashing back to a day he would never forget. He'd been married to Deana, a petite fiery redhead. She was Irish, one generation removed from the Emerald Isle. They had two children and what to everyone else like a pretty good life. He was a hard worker and loved his family and the happiness it brought him. Not that his life was perfect but it was his life and he knew where he belonged in it. Or had, until the day he'd come home from work to find his apartment nearly empty. Brad's life is about to change when he has a chance meeting with The Little Old Lady. Warren Gray lives in the Pacific Northwest with his family. When he is not writing he enjoys all the area has to offer such as camping, going to the beach, and taking in some of the professional sports that the region offers. He seeks to inspire others through his writing stories of everyday people that encourage others to grow their faith.
