Summary: Wish I'd been in Dallas!
Comment: I've been at many women-centric gatherings, and it's always such a warm, uplifting experience, whether it's just social or for business training. Wish I'd been in Dallas, but this book is the next best thing to being there! It makes you realize the importance of girlfriends and knowing that the invisible woman becomes visible when she is part of a loving team. I must go to the Red Hat site, find a get-together near my home, and start fashioning a far-out red hat!

Summary: Think Outside The "Age Box" And Live In The Now!
Comment: I just returned from the 3rd Annual Red Hat Convention in Dallas (April 14-18, 2004). It was my first official sojourn into the realms of the Red Hat World, a phenomenon all women (not just those over 50) should check out. The book was released, I believe, at the convention, and Sue Ellen Cooper is currently on a multi-city book tour.
The book is a collection of anecdotal tales of women "of an age" living their lives with verve, confidence, optimism and laughter, interspersed with Will Rogers-like commentaries from the author and charming illustrations. The Red Hat story, as told in the book, is a one of a kind adventure story. It is a simple book, with fairly large type for aging eyes and an easy-to-navigate format. It reads like Reader's Digest - but it is incredibly complex in the topics it explores. I cannot imagine anyone of either gender or of any age reading the book and not recognizing the beauty of its simple truths. It is a manual for finding joy in the moment, for finding fulfillment in living, for being "present." It is truly an empowering book.
I purchased the book at the convention, but I logged onto Amazon.com today to buy a few more copies to send to my friends and family. When I realized that I would have the opportunity to write the first review of the book here, I couldn't resist putting in my two cents, knowing full well that thousands of other women will end up waxing far more poetically than I on the simple beauty of this book and what it represents.
Although I am an avid reader, I have never bothered to take the time to review a book on this site. This time I can't help myself. After last week, I am a Red Hat believer, a total convert, and a born-again celebrant. This book (and the concept of the Red Hat Society itself) is infectious - one cannot read the book without thinking of countless ways to improve the quality of the reader's own life on a daily basis.
I have been a happy woman my entire life - but I have never experienced the kind of collective joy that I experienced last week. It cannot adequately be put into words - it is gut level emotional. The book is a primer on celebrating Life, but the lessons it imparts can only be practiced in the company of others. Read it - and then get off your backside and go live it. Get involved. Have fun with your life on this planet!
This is a book that could change your life!
