Shirley W. Mitchell, of Alabama, is a Mother of Three and a Grandmother of Nine - an unexpected divorce later in life promoted a more positive approach to her future and what was to play in it.

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.

Posted 10:38 pm March 15th, 2009Hi Shirley!
Thank you for friend invitation and I'm so glad to see someone here that I already know! Congratulations on the Trademarks! I just signed up tonight, so I haven't added everything yet, but you know me, always busy... always working (even in my sleep I think - wink wink)
I'm so glad you enjoyed doing the show with Aggie. She's very unique and an inspiration to all I do believe. If you get a chance, check out the new blog Aggie invited me to join. I haven't posted any articles yet, but they are in the works (meaning still in my head LOL). Here's the link if you'd like to check it out: http://www.visualartsjunction.com/.
I've been busy helping someone publish their memoir. You'll have to mark it on your list of books to read. Her life has been rather amazing and I would have to say, unusual. The book is titled "My Life Journal (From My Heart To Yours)" and should be out on the market sometime in April.
Blessings,
Cindy
