Fabulous@50 Blog

By Dianna Bowes on 11/26/2010 12:00 AM
When was the last time you actually told someone how great YOU were! I was at an event last year and the instructor handed out a folder and inside my folder was the sentence "I am kind of a big deal." She made us all read our sentences out loud and I have to admit, the statement made me feel uncomfortable. As women of the baby boomer generation, we struggle with blowing our own horns. My favorite poem was written for Nelson Mandela, I have it hanging in my house, so I can be read it whenever I am feeling small and dull. Here is to all the diamonds in the fabulous@50 community. Shine brightly, so everyone can see the way!



Fabulously yours, Dianna Bowes

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?
Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
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!
Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
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
