Most baby boomers are looking forward to retirement. They have worked for many years and are now wanting to reap the benefits of their hard work. But really what is retirement? Wikipedia says: Retirement is the point where a person stops employment completely.

Do you have any idea how powerful you are? Businesses are beginning to realize that baby boomer women are the demographics they should be marketing to. Women make over 75% of the buying decisions on almost every purchase made in a home. Interesting....being young doesn't have the power it used to, thank goodness, because I am not getting any younger. Baby Boomers are growing at 30% annually in North America, so if you are thinking of starting a new business or changing careers, this may be something to keep in mind. My new philosophy is..IF NOT NOW...WHEN? You know the term 50 is the new 30, there is truth to that statement. People are healthier, more active, better educated and have a zest for life that has never been experienced before in history.

Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
Thank you for speaking into my heart this morning. I have always been "the original" one - the one that never stayed with the status quo. Visionaries are like that. It is only recently that I can truly say that I am gifted and talented and YES Different than the woman who must please each person and put herself last. I still do please people and still do put myself last, but I do it because I want to- not because it is expected of me.
How do I become a part of the tribe you are running with?

Hi Diana. Belated congratulations on being awarded the WMCA Women of Distinction award! I just want to say hello and let you know I am thinking happy thoughts for you. I traveled in from Cold Lake for your first Fabulous @ 50 at the Lions Centre with my hand painted silk scarves. All the best!

My grandmother used to say "If you never looked in a mirror you would never know you were getting older". I have now lived long enough to know she was right. In her honor I am going out today to buy a perfectly fitted red bra, and I'm going to live, every day, at the age I feel when I don't look in the mirror.
Love your blog, thought provoking as always.
Cheers,
Lorraine
