Shirley W. Mitchell, of Alabama, is a Mother of Three and a Grandmother of Eight - an unexpected divorce later in life promoted a more positive approach to her future and what was to play in it. She was writing about, and promoting, a "Positive Aging Lifestyle" before most were even thinking about it. Her life "Passion" and "Mission" is to promote "Positive Aging and Vitality in Health". Shirley W. Mitchell was raised in the South in Northern Alabama on a tenant cotton farm working with all her family members in the tenant cotton fields. Even at that young age, she had a "Vision and Passion" to make her life and others' lives more productive, seeing what hard, long work days and getting older did to those around her. Her "Quest" or "Mission", since, has been to "Promote Positive Aging" for all, especially for those who are approaching or who might have attained that Golden 50 and Beyond. To help all those who are struggling to find a comfortable zone from which to Inspire their Own Passions, Hopes and Dreams.

She received the "1997 Woman of Achievement Award" from the Marshall County Business and Professional Women's Club; She won the "Most Stunning Smile Award" at the "2000 Ms. Senior Alabama Pageant" and most recently received the "2004 Citizen of the Year Award" from the Albertville Chamber of Commerce for her contributions to the City and Local venues. In 2006, 2007 & 2008, she was nominated for inclusion into "The 2006 Purpose Prize" with Civic Ventures in recognition of her life-long committment to Local and National Venues, The Teaching of Experience, Positive Aging and the Baby Boomer Generation. She supports groups such as the American Heart Association & GoRed for Women Program, and the Christian Womens Job Corp.
