Many of us became acquainted with Tina Lawson (formerly Knowles) during her fashion designer days for the group, Destiny’s Child. Since then Ms. Tina has shown us: that life goes on, you don’t need to die before you’re dead, it’s never too late to find a new love, and you can still be sexy and hot at any age (cause she really is)

I think it needs to be said that Ms. Tina just isn’t Beyonce’s Mother.  She was a successful entrepreneur and hairstylist for years before Destiny’s Child hit it big.  Even as a child, She always had aspirations In an article from Essence Magazine, Ms Tina said she had a bigger vision for her life:

Their thing was, “You’re a cute girl. You’re creative and you could have a decent job. You could go work at the post office.” I’m not knocking that, but I’m just saying the aspirations weren’t high. My mom did the best she could do, but I wanted more.

She said she knew she wanted to get out of Galveston, maybe do something with hair and makeup, and help women feel better.  She went to beauty school and built a business.  Now from the interviews she has given,  it sounded like she wasn’t too sure if her marriage was going to work out and she wanted to be able to support herself if it didn’t.

Independent Woman….right?

Life Goes On

Ms. Tina is an encouragement for women to see that life goes on after divorce and when your kids get their own lives.  She divorced her husband of 30 years and moved on.  According to an Article in Ebony her son in Law, Jay Z wanted her to date younger men.

Don’t Die Before You’re Dead

What I just love about Ms. Tina is that she’s out here  in the world living it up.  She’s in her 60’s and she’s always going out with her friends, you see pictures of them partying in another country, and she and her husband the handsome Richard Lawson are enjoying their lives.   After her divorce she said that she was going to date again and she did!

I loved how she said that when she got married again, she wore White because sometimes people feel that  because you’re a certain age you shouldn’t do things.   I agree.

Comfortable in her own skin and sexuality

The photoshoot for Ebony Magazine was Hot but Ms. Tina wanted to show women that they are still desirable and beautiful no matter the age!

“I had some reservations

[about the shoot], but as I thought of all the women who tell me daily that I have inspired them to live a wholehearted life, which includes your sexuality. I am proud to be 61 years old and to not be putting limitations on my lifestyle. We can still be sexy and vibrant, fashionable, classy and fly until the day we die!

Excellent advice!

She also confirms that she and her husband are having great sex!   That’s all apart of a Fiercely Fit Lifestyle as well.  Exercise helps blood flow is all I’m saying!

For exercise it’s been reported she does Pilates 5x a week.  That’s wonderful for women because it helps our flexibility, hip mobility, and pelvic area.

More than that I believe that Living Your Life like it’s gold with purpose and plenty of love and laughter is the key to the fountain of YOUTH!
