Let's take action!

Active 50 Plus Women is a community network website to help women's lives. I deeply think about retired life. What lifestyle is waiting ahead of us, especially for baby boomers? Maybe you are doing well in your career, but sometimes you are saying to yourself, “I want to do more things or other things”, “If I have more money, I can live differently” or “I need challenge”. Are you feeling emptiness? This website will help you to open yourself and encourage your independent spirit.

My name is Demi (Hidemi) Chida. I lived in Japan for 31 years, and then immigrated to Australia. So, I can understand both country’s cultures and lifestyle. I can speak, listen and write in two languages.  I have done different careers with passion.  I'm a mother of two, married and divorced twice.  I've gone through depression and language difficulties. So I guess most of you can identify with some of my life experience. (For more information go to My place). I have searched for my purpose since I was 18 years old. I couldn't find it in a busy daily life. I have discovered purpose in my life recently.

Are you looking at an illusion?

We all hear complaints or problems of people’s retired life from the TV news or newspapers. Are you just waiting for the government to solve your problems? The elderly lifestyle which you are seeing now does not exist for retired baby-boomers. The government is sending a message about your situation to you, but you are ignoring or denying the facts.  You may think a prince or God will rescue you when you retire.

That's wrong.  That is an illusion.

However, we can’t expect the government and young people to make us happy.

Ability is not measured by age. That is based on mentality.

If you accept the fact you need to change or readjust your mentality, I strongly recommend you think about your retired life starting from your 50’s. Once you know how you want to live the rest of your life, you can live as a happier person in daily life.  I have watched, talked to and researched active people in their 70’ and 80’who have some secrets to living actively.

Don’t sit down and winge or complain. I don't have the time to hear winging, complaints, negative messages etc, if you offer your knowledge, skills and hold each others’ hands, you can make your life better, if you change your mentality.

But it depends on you. Do you want to improve yourself? Will you take action? You are the one who can change your retired life. I know you can achieve what you want.  I need team members who have an active mentality.

I want to hear your voice:

What you want in your life?
What we need?
What you need to be done?
What do you want to do?
What you can offer to this community network?

My mission is: Expose people’s talent, knowledge and skills to society.

You are a valuable person, but you are frustrated, because you don't know how to show how valuable you are to the world. That's why I set up this website to reach people like you all over Australia, and on the other side of the world. If we work together, we will create a strong energy.  For example, one thin string is weak, but if we use a hundred strings, we can make a strong fat rope.  We can do something better than we think. (I used hear this message many times, but I ignored and didn't believe it.)

We are still active.
We can offer our knowledge skills, wisdom and love to society, our community or the world.
We are capable of mixing with young people.
We are open-minded people. We can accept changes.
We live actively with laughter and enjoy ourselves.

Let’s work to do things together with respect for each other.

I care for you

We can’t be young forever. We all know about how many years we may live, but you can turn this disadvantage into an advantage.

How?
Yes, we have nothing to lose.
You don't need to hold back.
You can achieve what you want.

So why don't you share your knowledge and experience with others. It will make your life happy and fulfilled.

Active 50 Plus Women want to organize, wild, interesting, adventurous, fun and enjoyable activities through this website. Interesting events are coming up in the near future.  No where else organises “Wild activities”. You can’t imagine where we will take you to.  Would you like to join the ride on our journey? Yah, be wild!  Be brave!  

We just need a support group, and then enjoy our life with like-minded people. This is what this website is all about.

What I want you to do is-----------
You need a commitment to yourself. This is one small step towards being active.

Remember this if you don't act, nothing happens.

Ps:  we welcome “Support members” as well, who are younger than 50 or men.
