Speaking Accolades

January 10, 2004 - "The key note speaker for the Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Auxillary luncheon, Shirley Mitchell, author of FABULOUS AFTER 50®, professional speaker, and weekly columnist, proved to be the highlight of the festive auxillary luncheon. She received comments from the participants such as "Your speech made me realize I need to be aware of the OLD LADY SYNDROME, whcih is trying to attach itself to me. Your Speech Fabulous after 50® is definitely the answer to prayer. After hearing you speak, I am seeking a time of renewal seeking God for new identity of pwer, vigor and style." As the past president of Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Auxillary I would recommend Shirley as a motivational speaker. She is also inspirational with passion, zeal, and enthusiasm about encouraging women to be FABULOUS AFTER 50®. She speaks on many subjects to both men and women. Her stylish appearance and elegant stage presence adds a touch of class to her speech. She is able to adapt her speaking to any subject and audience" ... Willene Carnes, Past President AACD Auxillary, Boaz-AL
"Dearest Shirley, My name is Joan Malone. I live in Chunchula, AL. I met you at the Galeria in Birmingham at a Soil and Water Conservation meeting. I gave the devotion for the meeting but had to leave before your presentation and you so graciously gave me a copy of your book. I will turn 50 this September and your book made me realize I need to be aware of the "Old Lady Syndrome", which is trying to attach itself to me. Fabulous after Fifty™ is definitely an answer to prayer! My life greatly changed 4 years ago when mu husband and I accepted a job, which requires much travel. It has brought about crisis instead of growth and change where my health and fitness is concerned. I have gained 35 lbs. in this 4 years and am in the middle of finding a balance for my hormones with my doctor's help. So far we have tried two different hormones and am still having problems. Also, I've had lazer surgery twice in the past two years for pre-cancer cells. So... needless to say I feel as though I am a pile a ruins. Your book encouraged me to begin afresh trusting God for my restoration. No matter how great the ruins, God is able to restore my new motto. I am beginning from scratch with exercise. Six years ago my husband and I climbed Mt. LeConte in Tennessee, but that's the past and this is now. Now i am at the time of renewal seeking God for new identity of power, Style and Vigor. (see how you've helped me?) I love walking outdoors but traveling that is not always possible. I was wondering if maybe I just simply need to begin with some stretches. Is there a Christian video series you can recommend? I would like another book to share with my pastors wife at First Baptist Church of Citronelle. There are so many like me who need help with this season of their life! If you could mail it with the amount I owe I will send it to you. May God richly bless you as you continue to serve Him... Much love, Joan Malone, Chunchula-AL
"I have known Shirley Mitchell as a public speaker for over 10 years. Shirley reminds me of a tree, firmly rooted in her beliefs and continuing to branch out with new growth. When Shirley steps up to the podium, the first thing a member of the audience thinks, before she even begins, is "That lady has a lot of class." And, classy she is, both in her appearance and delivery of the various number of topics that Shirley speaks about. In a crowd of people, Shirley would be noticed, both because of her exceptional appearance and the command she takes over a room upon entering. I would consider Shirley a motivational and inspirational speaker. She has the unique talent of speaking to each member of audience, whether large or small. Shirley also has the ability to relate to different types of groups; it doesn't matter if it is a group mixed with different cultures, management or lay people, members of the teaching profession, or a stay at home parent. They can understand where she is coming from and what she is talking about. Shirley has that ability to speak directly to each member of her audience. Shirley brings all of her experiences to her speeches and uses that, with her great enthusiasm, to bring insights and understanding to her audience. Shirley's great passion for life is also communicated directly to her audience. Shirley has the skill to talk on a diversity of subjects and always brings her unique touch to the listeners. I can say without doubt, that anyone that is fortunate to attend a forum of Shirley speaking will walk away with ideas and thoughts that they will carry with them the rest of their lives" ...

Aging: Opportunity Or Ordeal ©

Aging: Opportunity Or Ordeal ©
by Shirley W. Mitchell, Syndicated Columnist
Do you think Aging is an ordeal rather than an opportunity? Yes, aging is a time of transition. Transition is defined as a passage from one place to another; change. It's your choice how you spend your bonus decades. You are president of your life. With the wisdom of years of life experiences, life could be richer.
Here are the seven ways to enjoy the last half of life and consider it an opportunity. First, let the child within you play. Yes, fun is fine. Give yourself permission to have fun. Look inside yourself and discover what makes you joyful, happy and hopeful. Each person has their own special ways to have fun. Laughter boosts the spirit and immune system. The legendary Minnie Pearl said, "Laughter is a drug and I'm totally addicted."
Hang out with people you like who take you to a higher place in life. Also, make time and space for yourself - a time for getting to know yourself, a time of meditation. Be like Mireille Guiliano, author of "French Women Don't Get Fat." Eat for pleasure. Eat the healthy foods. Eat several small meals a day and make a celebration. Delicious food, served in a beautiful atmosphere and shared with a good friend is divine.
The only thing you are in complete control of is your attitude. A positive attitude will open many wonderful doors of adventure, opportunities and possibilities. A positive attitude makes you approachable, causing new friendships, work opportunties and play opportunities. High energy is a hot commodity for "Fabulous after 50" people. How do you achieve a high energy level? Exercise your body, soul and spirit. Remember, love is the oil that takes the friction out of life.
And number seven is faith. Remember, Jesus is the life preserver that keeps us from drowning in the sea of aging.
