For women, 50 is a milestone sometimes feared and sometimes flaunted. Stressing the accomplishments, experiences, and knowledge acquired during those years, To Our Heart's Content invites women to reflect on life and its rewards. Cole takes an honest, optimistic look at the issues of being 50 and older in the '90s: the pleasures of solitude, the stresses and satisfactions of work, the strength of long-tasting relationships, and how to thrive in a society that seems to value youth and physical beauty more than wisdom and personal growth. Each daily meditation covers a topic ranging from menopause and parenting to politics and sex and features a quotation from a woman and an affirmation of support.
