New Book Inspires, Empowers and Challenges Women Over 50 to Live An Aging But DANGEROUS Life

SEATTLE - Oct. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- An inspiring new book, DON’T PEE ON MY SOFA! AND OTHER THINGS TO LAUGH ABOUT (Booktrope Editions, 168 pages, 2015) by C. Suzanne Bates, co-founder of Aging But DANGEROUS (AgingButDANGEROUS.com) launches today. This easy-to-read book is a humorous account of aging, packed with vital information, anecdotes and strategies for women 50+.

Like the organization itself, (which has sponsored everything from Martini Jump Skydives to its notorious Kick Ass Modeling Squad, to health and wealth planning seminars) the book is all about honestly scaling the obstacles of aging with gratitude, courage and dignity, to go beyond everyone’s preconceived notions about what women over 50 can do or should be. Communicated through a series of personalized essays written by Bates, the book covers such topics as:

• Health and Wellness
• Managing Money
• Female Incontinence (affecting more than 13 million adults and one in four women ages between 30 and 59  — hence the book title)
• Matters of the Heart
• Sex
• Downsizing and Living by Design
• Fashion, Make Up and Hair
• Diet, Exercise and Mental Tranquility
• And Much More
