Never too old…
ALL ABOUT THE VETS by Sheila L. Agnew is an enlightening book for women of all ages, but particularly those who are moving into their forties. Our society begins to tell us we’re old and useless and we shouldn’t wear this or that, or it’s too late to do something. Agnew lets us know that it is never too late. If a fashion strikes your fancy and it looks good on you, then wear it. If you’re older and you’ve always wanted to start your own business or write a book, do it!
The book is broken into several chapters and each covers an important part of a woman’s life. One chapter specifically deals with black women and their hair, and all the agony they go through, such as being told on the job what kind of hair style they can and cannot have. She never says wear it straight or natural – she encourages women to do what is best for them. In another chapter, Devine Beauty, Agnew speaks of the beauty within us that can shine out and bless those around us. The chapter How to Have a Great Date discusses getting to know a man before having any expectations about him and a future relationship. It also goes into dating younger men. She encourages women to ignore the negative media about the scarcity of men and get out and meet people.
The book is short and to the point yet it gives such hope and encouragement to women to get up and try whatever it is you want to do. Agnew definitely comes from a Christian point of view and writes in a very uplifting way. ALL ABOUT THE VETS is very inspiring.
