the pleasure of finding love and life again

As a woman of a certain age, I can whole-heartedly relate to what Sheila Pearl has written in this fabulous little book. It captures the pain of losing a spouse to degenerative disease, the pleasure of finding love and life again, the thrill of starting over on a new career path, and the hunt for true love again and again and again via internet online dating. It explores the feelings associated with growing older in this ageist culture we live in. The reader comes away with renewed hope, passion, and a sense of awe at the beauty of life and what it has to offer. No matter our age, we are sensuous, passionate, and alive! The energy flowing from this book is incredible! Bravo for a job well done! I highly recommend this book to readers of all ages.

It's About Finding True Love

I finally finished Ageless & Sexy last night. Men, stick around because this book is for you, too. I wish every woman would read this book in their 20s. Or for the love of Pete, by their 40s. And as a last-minute Intervention, in their 50s, 60s and beyond. Sheila has encapsulated a lifetime of sensual-spiritual wisdom in its most accessible format. Men, you are not left out of this wisdom, younger men would profit from the sure knowledge that they are not alone in insecurity, in wrestling with sex and sensuality, and that there is a woman (or man...) looking for them to step up to the plate and bring themselves fully to the table, in spite of the damage done by society to men's most precious and tender selves. This book isn't about genderfication, it's about transcending our flesh and being fully present to another, being joined at the spiritual hip to our higher selves, and through that connection, inextricably bound to each other. And so, this is a book for everyone, all across the spectrum of gender, of sensuality, of sex, of sexuality, of orientation, and all adult ages. Because it's at its core a book about the human spirit and a poignant illustration of the quest for self-love and self-reliance that is the fundamental prerequisite of finding true and lasting love. Or perhaps, in itself, is the ONLY true and lasting love. ----Original Review---- I am only entering the big 3rd or 4th act of my life, and I can hope that I can approach it with an Ageless & Sexy mindset. Sheila brings us the story of everywoman Stella, struggling with her identity, her sexuality, her sensuality as she watches the calendar pages turn. But she also brings a unique perspective on the male experience of women, as we have a sort of playboy or alter-ego Matt who ignites Stella's fire -- something almost every man wants to do for someone special to them. Is he a part of Stella, the inner ignition that we all have, the fantasy lover we can use to light our inner flame, and sometimes our most critical and self-sabotaging ego that focuses on the passage of time, additional weight, oncoming wrinkles -- or is he a real person? A real page-turner that ignites the imagination, that lights our desires, that makes us look at our partner and ourselves in a whole new light.

Older Woman Dating Younger Men

I love that each chapter begins with a short, yet powerful, dialogue between our protagonist and her inner voice. I love Stella’s determination to embark on a new career at a time in her life when most of us retire by choice. I love her determination to find a romantic partner and explore her sexuality. I especially love the early chapters where we learn of the challenges and struggles that Stella faces in caring for a bedridden husband. It is heartwarming to see how she learns to cope and embrace difficult experiences during the course of her life. I also feel that Stella’s sexual self-expression is reckless. For example, she dates men whom she meets Online and after one or two phone conversations is ready to reserve a hotel room for two. It is important to tread carefully when dating online – and even more so for lonely, trusting, older women. Stella lacks healthy boundaries. Stella is concerned that younger men may not find her older body sexually attractive, yet she finds men her own age physically unappealing. If she wants to be in a meaningful and loving relationship then she will need to focus more on character and less on sexual proclivities.

joy, passion

Brave! Innovative! Groundbreaking! A book that reaches out to the Ageless Goddess in all of us. With courage and honesty Sheila Pearl invites us into her journey of discovery, joy, passion, and the pleasures that living as a sensual woman bring to life. She freely admits to her fear, and yet fearlessly beats it back, again and again. Bravo! Well done! As I wrote to her, "This book should come with a warning label: WILL KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT!"

A journey of self discovery!

i laughed, I cried, I agreed, I disagreed.....I saw myself. Sheila Pearl's The Magic of Sensuality, A Love Story is transformative, educational, instructive and even titillating. Married or single women and yes, even men, will find great value in this meditation to love, sensuality, sexuality and self-realization. This journey of self discovery is a journey for every reader as it reflects on the questions and confusions we all share about our own place in the realm of love....of self and of other.....and its impact on all aspects of our lives.

I love the structure of her tale

My first reaction to reading Ageless and Sexy was, “Spectacular!” Author Sheila Pearl combines her own struggles in losing her husband to illness and opening up to her own strength and worth, as she explores a new life as a fully sensuous and powerful woman. In the unfolding of her story, Sheila has poignant inner dialogues and helps clients to embark on their own new adventures. Her boldness in sharing this story is so courageous and uplifting. I love the structure of her tale, the perfect quotes, and her dialogue between “Stella and Me.” The narrative of her encounters with men keeps us turning the pages and often surprises us with unexpected twists. Her deep compassion for men struck me as especially unique. Her relationship with her husband and later her long-time lover exemplifies that so eloquently. Sheila is a shining model of commitment and self-compassion for women of all ages, but especially for those of us in the years that many identify as “mature.” Her courage in staying with her often painful discoveries leads her to a profound understanding of both women and men as we all work to make sense of the challenges we face at each stage of our lives. As Sheila’s journey continues with deeper insights and an infectious sense of adventure, she undoubtedly will embolden her readers to continue on their own journeys. Ageless and Sexy has so many inspiring messages of compassion and hope. There seems to be a “next book” in the future… Rae Ramsey Life and Spiritual Coach

Fantastic!

This book was a fantastic and very important book for me. I am a 28 year old male who for most of his life was very shy around women, and didn't get very much involved with the sexual process. I was fascinated by Stella's adventure into her sexuality as well as into herself. I appreciated the "realness" of her character and the plot itself. In our everyday lives, we are constantly trying to better ourselves. We have our highs and lows, our struggles and our strengths. "Happily ever after" with another imperfect human being is incredibly difficult to find. Sheila Pearl's book is a great example of all of this. Instead of the trite and overused "happy ending," the reader is offered much more: reality, and the "you're not alone" sentiment. I commend her on sharing intimate details and opening up in ways that many people would look down upon.

Sheila Pearl poured her tender heart, loving soul & ...

Sheila Pearl poured her tender heart, loving soul & effervescent passion into writing this book. She has opened locked doors & is paving a path for all women (and men) who dread aging from the slightest to the overwhelming by acknowledging & validating what sensuality REALLY is as we age. She reassures us that it's our birthright to own & experience the magic the lies within being an ageless & sexy woman. As I read Ageless & Sexy I connected with her on so many levels. My emotions ran the gamut from one end of the spectrum to the other. I feel hopeful, have a renewed sense of myself & want all women & men to know that you do NOT have to experience your parent's or society's belief systems with regards to sexuality & aging. She tells us to reclaim your birthright, stop denying your true essence & live YOUR life with all the juicy sensuousness, passion & vitality that has been buried for decades. Once you read Sheila Pearl's book there's no denying your life will be forever changed.

Listen to your sensorum

Sheila Pearl writes,"Our intimate lives reflect our deepest vulnerabilities", in this incredible book.then she continues to demonstrate her courageous journey of finding a sexual existence after sacrificing so much of her life to her husband. It takes a heck of a lot of bravery to get back in there and become a sensual woman at any age. But Sheila gives all of us hope no matter what age we're at and proves to us that our sensuality can be ignited at any time. We just have to have the mindset for it and "listen to your sensorum". You'll find out what that is when you read her book! I love that Sheila gives us so many inspiring quotes at the beginning of each chapter. There is so much to ponder on and take in that I couldn't just read it quickly. I like to read slowly when I love a book so that I keep it close to me for awhile. That is what I did with her book. I carried it around with me for days and relished each page and enjoyed the company of her, her characters and her words. I wondered how she would end the book and I loved the ending which is only the beginning. Sheila wants to write a series of "Ageless & Sexy" books as she should, BUT I also think she should make her book into a movie. Why? To prove to our film industry who constantly portray men as being sexy at any age and who only have young woman as their leading ladies that woman of any age are Ageless and Sexy too!l

A journey of self discovery

Ageless & Sexy is an intimate glimpse to a woman soul. The main character Stella shares her dreams and fears open and honestly. Every woman will relate to some part of Stella's life with her challenges and victories. In reading I experienced a range of emotions leaving me wanting more. I finished the book in one day as I felt I was walking with Stella and needed to see it through. A must read if you've ever wanted something that was just out of reach or not quite sure what that one thing was.

Spiritual and Sensuous

Sheila Pearl shows such courage to share her spiritual and sensual awakening for all of us to benefit. You may be more drawn to one part of her book than others. For me, the stories of connecting with intuition to communicate with her husband who had dementia, to hear and feel her own intuition is most magical and inspiring. Sheila gives us all hope that we can be ageless and sexy for ever and ever. Thank you!

This magical love story is a must-read

Inspirational! This magical love story is a must-read! I could not put it down. Sheila’s unique style of writing, including little dialogues and quotes that grabbed my attention, pulling me into the story, wanting to turn the page. While I saw myself and people I know, I also noticed myself looking forward to thriving in my 60s, 70s, and beyond, rather than dreading growing older. I realized that I can embrace uncertainty and face the future with courage rather than fear. This book motivated me to move through my own bumps in the road and inspired me to celebrate my sensuality. —Hope Wannermeyer Schultz, health coach and actor

Inspirational

Sheila's book is an inspiration as she bravely tells her personal story so that we can share in her journey and her lessons-that sexuality and sensuality are both metaphorical and literal sources of life; that seeking fulfillment enriches us as humans; and that the quest for sexual and sensual fulfillment in the context of loving relationships leads us to a place of energy, love and enlightenment. Posted by Robin Rosenberg

Simply Delightful

I found it simply delightful. The topic of love and sex in both the Wise Elder as well as those who simply ... get ... older is almost a forbidden one. It opened up a world that I had hoped existed, but was uncertain. With the book's push, I found out that love and sex in my third stage of life, Elder, is not only appropriate but more fun than I would have imagined.

A true love story for Women of All ages!

A must read for women of any age but especially if you're going through a lot of changes and making big transitions in your life! The love story is so touching and Sheila has a lovely way with words in her writing. I loved reading about her adventures and knowing that as I get older my life can get better. Thank you Sheila for writing such an inspirational book!!

flows like an easy to read novel

Ageless and Sexy by Sheila Pearl, flows like an easy to read novel, yet carries many strong messages. Through Sheila’s compassion and openness, she deals with topics including death, divorce, new relationships, sensuality, sexuality and more. We get to see patterns and understand that when life throws us curve balls, there are ways to get through the tough times. While the book’s title is Ageless and Sexy, actually the book contains valuable information for people of all ages, anywhere in the pendulum of life.

It is Magic....

Sheila has bravely shared with us her journey of rediscovery of her sensuality and sexiness. Most of us are faced with this at some point of our life and can relate to her experiences in searching for love and or a sexual,meaningful relationship in our mature years.The good news is "Sex is alive and well" over 50,60,and 70. More than a story about seeking a relationship. it is about redefining and recreating yourself at any point in life and finding your true happiness and well being.

A must read!

Sheila Pearl is a great storyteller with a powerful message. I thoroughly enjoyed her new Ageless and Sexy book and could relate about dating in midlife. This unique self-help novel is an easy read: it is very raw and filled with honest emotion. You will find yourself in this love story, flowing with a lot of good information and many high-mileage questions to ask yourself. I think a lot of women and men- especially in midlife- will relate.

that's good stuff! That made me want to continue reading ...

Real people in real life situations...not heroes, heroines or fictional characters. Being able to relate with what's being shared, sometimes not even realizing it, that's good stuff! That made me want to continue reading - what's going to touch upon me next, what's going to open me up further? An enjoyable read to say the very least!

A Must Read for Anyone Who Believes They Have Passed Their Prime Years of Sensuality!

I couldn’t put down Sheila Pearl’s book, Ageless and Sexy. I felt like I was reading a combination of “It’s Complicated,” “Something’s Gotta Give” and “Looking for Mr. Goodbar” all rolled into one. Stella’s journey seeking a passionate renaissance is a must read for both men and women who find themselves feeling alone, lonely, out of step and out of time. Ageless and Sexy is transparency and authenticity at its best. Sheila’s exemplary background as a professional singer, devoted wife, religious leader, spiritual seeker and intellectual carries itself all the way through to her relentless search for the perfect partner after her husband dies. Sheila shares her escapades with wit, no holds barred and a sexiness that one would not expect from someone in their last chapter of life. I think of the scene in “Something’s Gotta Give” when Diane Keaton’s character hands Jack Nicholson the scissors to cut her sweater off. I also feel Sheila’s pain when she encounters one disappointment after the other while playing the online dating game. At the end of Sheila’s book, I found myself rooting for “Stella” and visualizing her Prince Charming riding in on his white horse, scooping her up in his arms and kissing her passionately as they both ride off into the sunset.

I loved this book!

I am not an avid reader. I need something very special to keep me interested. I loved this book and could not put it down. All of Stella's experiences were so different and I felt a mixture of emotions. This was written beautifully and the detail was perfect; I could picture each scene in my mind. Our sensuality is ageless and we should always have hope that we will find what we are looking for. As I read the last page I cried. Thank you for sharing such personal experiences and teaching us that the sensual part of our life is only over if we want it to be over. It is a joy, honor, and a pleasure to know you dear Sheila. Thank you.

As a woman in my 40's...

Ageless and Sexy is not just for the post menopause crowd. I say that lovingly, but seriously. I was unsure how much I could relate to a book about a time in my life that is yet to come. However, at 41, when Hollywood and main stream culture tells you that your once valued youth and looks have begun to fade and you are somehow then less valuable, this book touched a cord in me and gave me a breath of hope. Hope for a juicy journey ahead, permission to jump into my confidence and embrace my spirit for that is the most beautiful thing I own. Women of any age will find connection to Stella as a woman on a journey and will find value in the courage that she shows by being vulnerable and honest along the way.

Pearl is a gem !!

First, let me say that Sheila Pearl is a gem and "Ageless & Sexy" is a marvelous narrative with wonderful prose and an exhilarating--at times, steamy--love story. I have the great fortune of knowing Sheila personally and feel privileged to have witnessed the evolution of this books and the various twists and turns of her journey. I must say, I'm blown away. I learned more than I could have imagined. I marvel at her courage and willingness to put herself out there in all that, um, naked glory. This beautiful soul sure is an open book!! And this is a book worth opening again and again. I'm so proud of my friend and I can't wait for her next masterpiece. Kudos Sheila !! -Will Rodman

beautiful, sexless dull women and mature

Women who don’t see the value in being sensual and sexual, gentle and vulnerable, need to read this story. Sexual energy doesn’t age. I have met young, beautiful, sexless dull women and mature, sexy, alive vibrant women. The magic is not in the looks or age. It is in what each woman does with her energy. Sheila’s compelling and authentic story opens this potential for any woman of any age in our era of overworked and tired women working so hard to redefine themselves as independent, powerful, yet feminine and sensual women. As I teach women how to connect with their sexual energy, I see them come alive to themselves and their own creativity that has been lying dormant for years, sometimes decades. By engaging with and using their life-force energy, I see transformation. Sheila’s story is about that transformation. It could inspire you to make it yours. —Avaah T. Skae, coach and teacher, How to Awaken Sexual Energy

Sexy really is Agesless

What a wonderful book - filled with courage, tears and joy. I loved her journey of discovering her sexuality at a time when so many women shut down and think they are done. She shows us that Sexy is a state of mind and really is ageless. A wonderful book for women of all ages. She shows us what is possible and what each and every one of us can have. Love love love it - great job, Sheila xo

This book came at just the right time for me. I saw myself in so many situations within the book and it made me think "do I love myself more that I love him"?? I am grateful for this book and I will definitely read it again as I am in a different space now (so you probably guessed I do love myself more :) and will take away new lessons that I need at this time. A definite MUST READ for anyone questioning their self worth, beauty or sensuality. There is no "box" that you need to fit in you just need to love yourself and this book helped me view myself in a new light! Thank you Shelia for helping me see that I am truly Ageless and Sexy!!

Pleasure, she says, is for everyone. Beautiful message!

Ageless and /Sexy

It has been a long time since I have enjoyed a book as much as this one. I could not but it down. I went through a range of emotions from laughing till my stomach hurt to sobbing. What a life journey about the blossoming of authenticity. Such faith, and truth. It made me realize life is ment to be lived at any age and our dreams can always be made a reality if we want something bad enough and are willing to settle for no less. God bless you for waking me up. Bravo Sheila.
