Age Is Just a Number: Dancing My Defiance at 55

by :

Brushing Off the Limits

At 55, when I hear someone—my age or younger—say what they can’t do because of age, I tune it out. I’m Teflon—those words don’t stick. I’ve walked through abuse, abandonment, and loss. I’ve risen above depression, anxiety, and a disease that tried to take me down. Age? It’s got nothing on me.

Maybe you’ve heard those limits too—people saying you’re “too old” to chase what lights you up. Maybe you’ve felt that doubt creep in. I’m here to say: That’s bull—don’t buy into it! You were meant for more.

Owning My Years

I’m getting older, and I’m all in for it. At 55, I’m wiser, more grounded, and done with nonsense. I’ve stopped caring what others think, let go of pointless arguments, and learned to love deeper. But getting older doesn’t mean getting old. My mind stays sharp, my heart young, my dreams and goals still burning.

Maybe you’re feeling that shift—owning your strength but fighting to keep your fire. You can keep it alive. You were created for a life that’s bold and true.

Breaking Every Boundary

I won’t let age define me. Holistic living—staying fit, eating well, and fueling my spirit with what keeps me vibrant. I push past obstacles, break boundaries, jump into new adventures, and following His lead every step of the way.

You don’t have to hold back either. Whether it’s moving, dreaming, or creating, you’re meant to live free, to live bold, to live well.

Defining My Age

Age is just a freakin’ number. I’m 55, (actually, almost 56) and I decide how old I am—alive, fierce, unstoppable. You get to decide too. Don’t let years—or false beliefs (yours or someone else’s) box you in. Keep dreaming, keep moving, keep living big. The next generation is watching.

I’m dancing my defiance, and I’m cheering for you to do the same.
