About the Author
Shirley W. Mitchell, of Alabama, is a Mother of Three and a Grandmother of Eight - an unexpected divorce later in life promoted a more positive approach to her future and what was to play in it. She was writing about, and promoting, a "Positive Aging Lifestyle" before most were even thinking about it. Her life "Passion" and "Mission" is to promote "Positive Aging and Vitality in Health". Shirley W. Mitchell was raised in the South, in Northern Alabama, on a tenant cotton farm working with all her family members in the tenant cotton fields. Even at that young age, she had a vision and passion to make her life and others' lives more productive, seeing what hard, long work days and getting older did to those around her. Her "Quest" or "Mission", since, has been to "Promote Positive Aging" for all, especially for those who are approaching or who might have attained that Golden 50 and Beyond. To help all those who are struggling to find a comfortable zone from which to inspire their own passions, hopes and dreams.
