Dana Delany, Julie Bowen & Emily Deschanel are all featured in the August 2011 issue of Ladies’ Home Journal.
In the issue Emily talks feeling good in her 30s:
“With every year I feel more confident. I’ve also had the same friends for a long time. I’ve known one of my best friends since I was 7 and my other friends are from high school and college. Knowing people that long is so valuable. I have a friend from junior high who’s expecting a baby right before I am. Now we’re sharing stories about our cravings and how our bodies are changing. We can compare notes. Having someone like that is so reassuring; it connects me to an essential part of myself.”
In the issue Julie talks feeling good in her 40s:
“As a kid, I thought I was indestructible. I wasn’t afraid to do sports. It never occurred to me that something I broke or bruised wouldn’t heal. But in my 20s I was diagnosed with a rare heart condition, which caused a problem with the electrical impulses. My only solution was to get a pacemaker. For a while I felt fragile. I was afraid to go to sleep — I thought, What if my pacemaker quits and I don’t wake up? Now it’s just a reminder to me that every day I have is precious.”
In the issue Dana talks feeling good in her 50s:
“I look how I look. It is what it is and I just accept it. The idea that wisdom comes with age is true. Aging is all about harnessing that self-love. I’ll see pictures of myself when I was in my 30s and remember how hard I was on myself at that time. I feel for that girl. Now I think, “You looked fine! What were you worried about?” I also find that the less I focus on the external, the more attractive I am. When you stop thinking about what you look like you naturally look better.”
