BRIDGING THE GAP- A LIFE CHANGING MOVEMENT

Blogging has been a life-changing chapter of my life. I have met so many ladies who have empowered me in one way or the other. While most experiences have been inspiring, remember there is always a downside of everything. You rise you fall, you love you hate, there is always something that leaves a lasting memory. I am not here to talk about any of my past downsides, but about an amazing relationship that this blogging world has given to me. I have never met her in person, never spoken to her ( except the occasional direct insta videos she sends to me ), never had any interaction of any sort, but it still feels like I’ve known her time immemorial. Meet my millennial partner : JULIE LIAMS, the voice behind an awesome LA based blog: OVER FIFTY IN HOLLYWOOD .

Thanks Catherine Grace O Connell for stirring this sensitive topic and an age old myth that we call generation gap. Her movement called Bridging the Gap is aimed at showing how women are a united force. That we share values, goals and perspectives, no matter what our age. Today on October 17th, first time ever in Social Media, 100 Millennial and 100 Midlife influencers are partnering together to voice our love and blur the age and cultural boundary coz #WeAreStrongerTogether .

Meet my Millenial friend Julie, a fifty something charismatic wife, mom and recently turned blogger. Julie, her husband her three kids live in LA. Her older two kids have moved out and the youngest one is in 5th grade. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Julie works behind the scenes at Motion Pictures. With the Hollywood name and fame under her belt, three years ago when Julie turned 50, she decided to start a blog with the aim of helping women understand that they could look just as good as the actresses they see on screen and whose standards they are supposed to model.

Other than love for family and passion for fashion, from what I’ve learnt about her and what you see, don’t you think there are so many commonalities?? Look at the picture, can you tell Julie is fifty?? If I hadn’t told you, you would have never guessed she was fifty. Look at that toned abs and that bod, ” Julie….YOU ROCK !!! ” So that confirms our common fitness goals.

Giving style tips, sale alerts, talking about everyday household issues and essentials, her blog aesthetics comes through as a mix of both fashion and lifestyle. I could totally relate to this blog flow. If we ever meet in future, I am sure we will never be short of conversation. Breaking the ice would be a breeze.

If you’ve read Julie’s post here, she has a knack for fashion deals. She definitely has a flair for high-end fashion, but come on, who doesn’t like an ocassional steal, at least I do !!! Having said that about the post, it is guaranteed that “we both are shoe-a-holics…..LOL !!”

Julie’s vibrant personality and zest for life definitely comes through her Instagram feed. She is vivacious and definitely not the one who would call it quits easily. So ladies, don’t give up on what you love, just coz you are are growing older. Love yourself, respect yourself, be who you are, let the world know you are no less and age is just a number. Never sell yourself short, keep your head high and whenever you feel low, swing by and say hello to me and Julie, have a little chit-chat with us and I assure: you will feel yourself again , coz #WeAreStongerTogether
