The turquoise waters, the soft sands of Bimini's Beach Club – I could stay there forever.@phildiederich had been to Bimini before, but it was my first time. I had only seen water this color in Turks and Caicos around 8 years ago and in some parts of Cozumel.

At 60 I am truly the most content and self-assured I’ve ever been. In my teens, I had so many complexes they ruled my life. A “friend” said my thighs were too big and I went on a diet that quickly tipped into a full-blown eating disorder. I went on to struggle with that and depression for the entirety of my 20s.I wore my hair short because my loving grandmother had us cut our hair and when I see the pictures I cringe. At one point in my 20s, I remember telling someone I couldn’t grow my hair past my shoulders because it wouldn’t grow. Well, one day I decided to stop trimming it and…

Yesterday while I was applying makeup on my 60-year-old face I was thinking how I have so much more character now than when I was younger.Youth has this wild beauty which I enjoy admiring in younger women.But as we age, it is really our soul that comes through not only in our features, but in how we conduct ourselves in life.Are we nice to others, do we look at the lighter side of things despite life’s curveballs, are we still working on ourselves, are we nurturing our creativity, are we taking care of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs, have we learned and grown from …

It’s their energy, their outlook, the way they make you feel. It goes both ways.Once you realize this then you can be free of the shackles of fear of aging. Hopefully you will keep aging.

I swam with sharks at 60 for the first time and it was not on my bucket list.We booked and paid out of pocket for a snorkeling shore excursion in Bimini, Bahamas while on our sponsored cruise with @virginvoyages.We opted for "Sapona Shipwreck and Shark Snorkeling", which lasts 4 hours. I got the 1.30 pm slot so we could enjoy Richard’s Retreat at Bimini Beach Resort in the morning when it’s less crowded.I honestly thought this was just the shipwreck (a few reels back) and that “maybe” we’d see a shark! We saw a hammerhead from the boat, but I had no clue we’d later…
