Lela Hannibal of Houston Texas
I am so excited about turning 50 next year! I've been "single again" for 15 years; successfully raised two beautiful God fearing daughters while serving as an Associate Pastor for Women's Ministries; [IT] Director; and friend and mentor to many. I've learned that sisters need a different pair of shoes for each season of their life, as each season offers a different type of journey. The more seasoned that we become the less comfortable we become about wearing somebody else's shoes. Embrace and enjoy the things that make you unique. After all before you know it, somebody's going to be asking to wear your shoes!

I will be celebrating my 50th on November 2nd! I am so excited!! My daughter, family, and friends are planning the event to be held Saturday, November 4th at the Lathrup Village Community Ballroom in Lathrup Village, MI.
My family, friends from my childhood, church family, and others will be in attendance (as I have provided my list). The invitations were designed with "real" leaves on them, which were so very elegantly done by my daughter, Kristian, and dear friend, Ming! All of the other planning of is very "hush-hush"!
I am having a "Nigerian" seamstress make me a beautiful dress made out of a fabulous lace from Nigeria. I am so excited!
The day before, Friday, November 3rd, I will be surprising a few other "Fabulous 50's", six women from my family and childhood buddies all born in 1956, that all grew up together, with an "adventurous journey"! They will meet at my home by 6PM, to be driven via a "limo" to have appetizers at a "Northern Lake Seafood", then dinner at "Shiraz", and then dessert at "Coach Insignia"!! These are all very fine, highly reputable restaurants located in the Detroit Area! They are going to be "blown -away" with a "Golden Ladies - Night on the Town"!!!

Ten smart, funny, beautiful women, celebrated my entry into 50 under a full moon at the beach. We toasted our gifts of friendship to each other, celebrated our differences (we are gay, straight, immersed in childrens’ lives, child-free, professional, professional volunteers, working-at-home, single, committed, married, divorced. . . . ) laughed, ate, drank, jumped in the ocean at midnight. It was a lovely way to enter a new decade.
