This story is brilliant, Angela! What a ride you've taken us on. I love how you've come full circle with true acceptance of your boobs and body. And hey, if you can still rock a bikini at 55, then you are friggin winning, my friend! Superb storytelling!

You're so welcome, Angela. I meant to ask... Do you live in Australia now? I'm in Sydney, you know :)

Please do, Angela. I sometimes travel to Melbourne, so if I'm there, we could meet up :)) We lived there for a year. My husband loves that city.

So many fantastic lines and insights here. "I can lose my balance on the couch." SAME! Multiple marathons, building a life across hemispheres, securing finances ...badass, indeed! Love it!

Same! This morning, I nearly fell down my porch stairs going to water some flowers. I was thinking I may need to start wearing a mouthguard or up my dental coverage.

I don’t remember what the conversation was about but I’ll never forget when you told me you had “rocks in socks” for boobs.

I’m glad you got your girls back for you.

This made me tear up a bit. I’m glad you’re finally seeing what we all see 😘
