Fearless Aging
Staying Fit and Beautiful in Your 50s and Beyond
By Teri Brown
Victoria Moran's motto is, "My mission is to help make your life extraordinary."
This mission statement comes from the same deep place that has made her own life extraordinary, the confident place that made her ask for a press pass to interview the Beatles at age 14 and write the best-selling book, Creating a Charmed Life: Sensible, Spiritual Secrets Every Busy Woman Should Know (Harper, 1999) in her 40s, a book that has been translated into 27 languages and is quoted on Celestial Seasonings' tea boxes.
It is from this same deep place that she obtains the wisdom and insights she shares so freely with others. Her latest book, Younger by the Day: 365 Ways to Rejuvenate Your Body and Revitalize Your Spirit (Harper, 2004), is offered as a gift to anyone who has ever been shocked by their aging bodies and by society's reaction.
"All my books come out of my life," says Moran, 55. "When I learn something that changes me or when I overcome something major and there seems to be universal application, there's often a book there."
When Moran turned 50, her daughter had graduated from high school and she was going through menopause. As a woman who has always been very self aware, she was surprised by her own reaction to aging and the reaction she received from others.
"It hit me harder than I could have ever imagined," says Moran. "I'd taken pretty good care of myself and hadn't expected the profound physical changes I experienced. My hair got thinner, my body changed shape, my skin lost its elasticity – and it happened virtually overnight."
