You would have walked right by us— 3 women standing in the aisle of the supermarket having a conversation over our shopping carts. Women of a certain age, we’ve passed beyond desirable demographics—mostly not given a second glance— or a second chance. Supposedly, we’re invisible…. presumably to fade away into the sunset.
