I'm just a regular gal striving to become "that cool broad." Am I on the right track? Or am I certifiable? You be the judge....

The woman you've always wanted to become

Wednesday, October, 22, 2008

One of the things I love about Diane Lane is the fact that she's aging so gracefully. And what I mean by that is she seems comfortable in her own skin and doesn't feel the need to stretch it, freeze it, and plump it beyond recognition (it has to be said, though, she IS genetically blessed).

And after reading her interview in the October issue of Redbook Magazine, I like her even more.

When asked to reflect on what she's learned over the years, she responded, "To me, there's no greater reward than being around people you care about and can be present with. Or to realize I'm the person I've always wanted to become — or, should I say, the person I always knew I was."

When asked to expand on that statement, Diane said, "Oh, I guess it's that I realize I am as smart as I thought I was. I do have some talent. I really do have conviction. I'm not a bad parent and partner, even if I make a thousand mistakes. Even when things aren't going exactly where you thought they'd go, you're getting somewhere just by dedicating yourself to what really matters."

I'm really inspired by that. Even though nobody's perfect (and never will be), it's within every one of us to be the woman we aspire to me. And to come to the realization that you've become that woman, mistakes and all...that's what I strive for every day.

Are you the woman you've always wanted to be?

Hey, I'm still working on "The woman I always wanted to be." It is an on-going journey and process. Yes, I love that Lane is a REAL woman...one we can identify with and look up to as women over 40~ And I like her husband, too...quite cute! By the way, I have "thatcoolbroad" on my favorites! ~ Kim

Diane Lane is absolutely gorgeous. I just saw her in Nights in Rodanthe. I also loved her in Under the Tuscan Sun. I can only hope I look half as good as she does when I get to be her age. :)
