So many wrinkles zelda. Pampered. Adored. And really spoiled by owner carol gardner. Zelda knows she is the neighborhood celebrity. She the neighborhood celebrity. Why not. Gardner says zelda changed the course of her entire life which in 1997, needed changing. I was recently divorced, hence, depressed. Hence, in debt and having a very difficult time. So, a friend said, sweetheart, you need to either get a therapist or a dog. I thought, okay. So at 52, gardner got zelda an english bulldog. Though she had scarcely the money to feed her. Then she learned a nearby pet store was having a contest. The prize was 40 pounds of dog food every month for a year. All she had toe do was design a holiday greeting card. So she did what anyone would. She put zelda in a santa hat and sat her down in a bubble bath. I kept saying, zelda, this is about food. You open it up for christmas i got a dog for my husband. Good trade huh . It one the contest. And it inspired gardner. Soon zelda was fronting clever cards in everything from ballet outfits to devil costumes. Sales of zelda cards topped a million within a year. Gardners success out lived her bulldog. This is zelda number three. Snow blobs lamps, clothing jewelry. Every zelda today is a an empire. Multimillion Dollar International company that you started at 52. Never having done this before. No. You consider yourself a late bloomer . I consider myself definitely a late bloomer. Somebody who blossoms on their own schedule. And the list of Late Bloomers is long. The egg can be your best friend. Julia child made her tv debut at 50. Martha stuart kicked off her catering business at age 40. Peter roget didnt even start working on his thesauruas until he was 63. Find their passion. Reason enough says Rich Karlgaard who ignored the words of one famous early bloomer. F. Scott fitzgerald liked to say there were no second acts in american life. I think he was describing his own life, quite frankly. He achieved enormous success at age 25 and died at 44. He didnt have a second act. And frank mark court wrote his first novel. Won the pulitzer at 66. People have this enormous capacity to blot woman at any age. By now you may be wondering how late is whether too late to bloom. Well take heart from harland sanders, the former insurance salesman and one time gas station operator was 65 when he cashed his Social Security check and launched something known as kentucky fried chicken. You may have heard of it. But not iep the colonel can match Grandma Moses in her 70s. Inspiration to anyone trying something new even your humble correspondent. About two months ago i made a command decision that before i hit a certain unspeakable milestone birthday, i would learn to ride a unicycle. The months following that dramatic announcement proved a unicycling is really hard. Im Still Dreaming of blooming late. I often wonder, late for what . Late has a negative connotation to it. Where as in many of these cases they have done something absolutely right. Thats right. Today is going to be something called self compassion. Professor is a scientific director at the university of pennsylvanias imagination institute. He says its never too late to be a late bloomer. If somebody comes to you says, i really want to do x. At what age would you say, probably not happening. Im all about generating possibility. Giving people opportunities and seeing where the cards lie. If theyre 90 i want to be in the nba maybe i would say look, even Michael Jordan at age 40 started to show some serious declines relating to his motor system. But if that person said i want to be a poet. Certainly a possibility. Because youre only limited by how many years you have on this earth, right . The aarp is going to love you. And now theres more hope than ever before. Were living longer, which means even more time to bloom. Assuming our minds stay sharp which is not out of the question. Forbes publisher Rich Karlgaard. The brain, were finding out, this is really research over the last 20 years, is enormously plastic. We retain the capability of learning new things quite late into our along our lifetime. So why arent there more people like Grandma Moses or Colonel Sanders . Its much more common to see early bloomers than it is to see Late Bloomers. You do have certain stigma. A psychologist at the university of california davis, says one big roadblock to late blooming, if not our aging brainss our closeminded culture. When i applied to Stanford University graduate school out of college i was kind of surprised to find out that if actually had written on the application, if youre over 40, you cannot apply. Because the idea is if youre over 40 youre already over the hill. So why are you even trying to go to graduate school . Just go in the corner and give up . Yeah. The rules may have changed since then. But the mindset remains. There are people of latent skills out there that because they didnt test well at age 60 might not have gone to the right school. Might have made couple of clear mistakes they find themselves, this enormous talent to be tapped. They dont have the confidence that society doesnt realize theres not this process of discovery. I think thats a human tragedy really. So to all you potential Late Bloomers still waiting to bloom forget late. Just bloom. Your future is bright. Even if, as zelda once noted, old age comes at a very bad time. Pauley next beware. The ides of march. Tigers, both of you. Tigers . Dont be modest. I see how youve been investing.

I love life, whether im on the go, spending time with friends or with my favorite date. I take care of myself, and i like what i see when i look in the mirror. Ive often been told im the best pair of legs in the room. The so slimming collection only at chicos and chicos. Com. Pauley can sticks like these create art . Lets go into the woods with anna werner. Deep in the North Carolina woods it looks like this work crew is clearing under brush or gathering firewood. But theyre actually collecting the Raw Materials to build something incredible. Something like this. A forest kings castle. A hedge fuel of phase. A twisting maize. All woven branch by branch, twig by twig the grand designs of sculpture patrick dougherty. If you particular it in here like this also known as the stick man. What is the feeling that youre trying to evoke in here in these passageways . Want people to feel sense of exploration. Youre kind of in another place and transported through the forest curtain back to the garden of eden. Paradise found for fans of all ages. It is going to be fun. Yesterday we were overwhelmed with children. Kids love them. But so does the art world. Doughertys won both the henry moore and National Endowment for the arts fellowships. Hes even been the subject of a documentary called bending sticks. Generally it takes about a tractor trailer load of sticks to make a big piece. Maybe thats six tons of sticks. I dont know. Thats a lot of sticks. His creations seem to have a universal appeal. They draw people in. I dont really feel like patrick needs an interpreter for his work. And i think that is really the power of it is that you dont need someone to explain it to you. Linda johnson is the chief curator at the North Carolina museum of art in raleigh. A lot of people look at it and say things like, i dont like art but i like this. We caught up with him as he built the 256th of his creations, what he calls his stickworks. Where are you at in this process right now . Were in our beginning of our third week. So it takes 21 days to build something. This one is at the North CarolinaBotanical Garden in chapel hill. You have to explain this sort of drawing to me. Tradition of a hedge garden, hedges are big enough to walk through. Here as everywhere he goes. Here is what well do. Local volunteers come out of the woodwork to spend three intense weeks laboring by his side. Sometimes people say, how do your volunteers know what to do . Weve all been children we just know everything there is to know about sticks. Everyone has had that childhood experience of playing with sticks, didnt take that long to reignite those ultimate urges. You can cut off these smaller branches if you need to. At each installation dougherty acts not only as sculpture but team coach for his volunteers. Drop em back up underneath there. It doesnt work on the big ones but on the little once it will work out pretty good. It would not be as much fun. People of every age we could have the grandmother and the hippie and biker chick and somebody all working together in a big crew. And that mix of people, it adds a lot to the energy of the sculpture. You cant help but want to pick up a stick and give it a try. This is the end you want to stick in the wall. He makes it sound so easy. There you go. That will be good. Just push it on in there. Twisting is good. I didnt work out now i dont have to. You do this how many times a day . Thousands and thousands. Its that kind of determination that has driven dougherty to churn out nine mammoth stick works each year for nearly 30 years. Ive worked in the rain numerous times in ireland and scotland and worked in the cold in wisconsin or denmark or austria or italy. Sometimes i have to use translators. But usually sticks become the universal language. The universal language of sticks and love. Oh, i forgot that. Yep, my wife and i we met through sculpture. His wife the museum curator, Linda Johnson dougherty. I mean it was really love at first sight. Shes he been watching him pick up sticks for 22 years. Is there a work thats particularly close to your heart . I mean, he is your husband. There is a beautiful piece that he did that looks like bramantes tempietto. A little classical temple. I wanted him to make me one at home and he hasnt done it. You dont have one . I dont have one. Like wives everywhere, her project is at the bottom of a very long todo list. How far in advance are you booked . Booked through 2016 at the moment. Starting to take a few in 2017. Thats two years. We get offers every day. The kind of offers that museums make for original works of art to keep in their permanent collections. Something they will never be able to do with doughertys work. They only last a couple of years. And dougherty says, thats part of the point. There is a way that you look at this work and compare about it and care for it knowing that its not going to exist, you know what is going to happen to sticks. You see a stick, you know that its like a leave. Its going to break down something is going to happen. Its going to blow away. In this sense the most powerful part of it that its not lasting. We all recognize that we have a limited life span ourselves. Does it pain you as an artist to see it desearier rate. It doesnt currently because im working on a new piece. Im already on to the next piece. I always say that art history has to look after itself. Artists just make what they want to make. Pauley still to come. An american in paris. But first im getting better. Im getting better. Pauley on the mend at home with gabby gifford. Pauley representative Gabby Giffords received a s
