Peeking Over the Edge ... views from life's middle, 2nd Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999051832)

Fifty ... middle age ... over the hill. Is middle age a time that scares the living daylights out of you? Or is it a time for celebration? Which are you?

Cathy Marley reached her 50s and took a long look at where she had been and where she was going and discovered the long-buried passionate soul of a writer. But "everyone" said 50 is a hard time to change direction from technology to creativity. She chose to ignore "everyone" when she realized that midlife is a time for letting go of old expectations about who and what you should be. It is a time for discovering your greatness and your power and soaring high and far as you test your wings on the breezes of limitless possibility!

Written for baby boomers who are "not-so-far-over-the-hill", Peeking Over the Edge ... views from life's middle looks at midlife as the beginning of life's best half. It is one woman's view of the regrets and triumphs of the past balanced by eager anticipation of a future built on wisdom gained along the way. This is a book for anyone who, preferring to explore the marvelous possibilities that come with each passing year, chooses to never be over the hill no matter what their age. It is for you.

This poetically fashioned and emotionally candid collection of Cathy Marley's personal reflections explores life after 50 as she sees it. It is a little bit about self-image, a little bit about love and our connection to the world around us, and a lot about the legacy we create today and leave behind when we are gone.

Peeking Over the Edge is filled with wisdom, wit, and insights that will touch your heart. Sometimes you'll laugh. Sometimes you'll cry. Whichever you do, you'll discover that the second half of life is a time to be savored and embraced. And you will know that the best is yet to come!
