Rowan celebrates Brooke’s milestone birthday
I wish everything was higher. I wish I didn’t need kinesiology tape to bring my knees up to where they should be.
But I don’t get to have it both ways,” Shields said. Shields also expressed her positive outlook on aging and the importance of not letting societal narratives define what it means to grow older. “Listen, I think it’s great that people are talking about menopause and it’s in the forefront.
What’s not progressive is thinking that that’s all we are. With this era of our lives comes vitality—experience, diversity, versatility, strength, humor, confidence. All of these are words that I would choose to associate with being this age.”
In another recent interview, Shields stated that getting older was “liberating” and emphasized the power and confidence that women over 40 possess, especially in the beauty industry.
As Brooke Shields celebrates her 60th birthday, her family’s touching tributes and her own empowering outlook on life inspire many.
