This is a service that is FREE of CHARGE to NABBW members. Please email us if you are interested in seeing a review of your book, product, or service. Bertha-size Your Life Jane Carroll Review by Georgia Richardson,Queen Jaw Jaw  If I used one word to describe
this book it would be, F-U-N. But then again, there’s another;
“revelations.” And yet another; “perspective.” My list goes on
and on. I enjoyed this read so much that I finished in two days.
Jane Carroll opens her story with the “Empty Nest” blues as her last child leaves via the altar, but she quickly turns the theme around into a wonderful adventure of enlightenment, encouragement, and self-love. One that helps the reader in sorting out the past, the present, and the next fifty years. She shows us how to really live. That’s life - with a capital “L.” As the story begins, she’s jogging in the park and meets a woman named Bertha. After friendly exchanges, the two decide the role of room-mates fits them well. As soon as Bertha moves in, life changes and might I say, all for the better. It truly gives new meaning to the phrase, “When the student is ready, - ” Bertha’s lifestyle is all about taking time to smell the roses, literally on some days. She’s offers how life is meant to be embraced, cherish, lived in the “now”, and how drifting is not an option. There’s no room for “woe is me” in this book. Each day (and Chapter) begins with a new adventure, and a flashy new wardrobe, I might add, by the simple question being asked, “Bertha, what are you doing?” I quickly learned that once these lines were read, Bertha would emerge; sometimes climbing on her soapbox and delivering “aha” moments, and other times using life-altering analogies coated with wisdom that couldn’t be denied, no matter how far one’s head is buried in the sand. While each Bertha-sized adventure was fun, this book gives the reader much more than chuckles. In the end, you fully understand. It’s like Bertha says, nothing is more important than feeling good about me, and it’s okay to ask for help when you need it. Bertha helps you to connect with your inner child AND spirit, once again. She teaches us that letting go of some impossible situations, or people, is okay, and that fitting everyone into your life is not mandatory. Even complete acceptance of some situations can be a form of letting go. Another lesson; it’s okay to distance yourself from concerns to gain a better perspective, even if this involves taking a day off work, wearing a silly hat and hitting the beach. Entitlement; it’s a good thing. Just who is this Bertha? She’s you, me, and every other woman you’ve known who needs to “listen” to her own voice and make the world be quiet. Her mantra? Be as nice to yourself as you are to others. In my opinion, a great place to start would be by reading, Bertha-size Your Life! Young at Heart (Boomer Humor) a collection of Cascade Greeting Cards Tracy Taravade www.cascadegreetings.com Reviewed by Georgia Richardson, Queen Jaw Jaw  How many times have you
visited the card store to find that special “girlfriend” card?
Maybe you needed to tell her to hang in there, or Bon Voyage,
or you simply wanted to say, “I’m glad we’re friends.” You read
and you wait for just the right card to speak to you. Nothing.
You read more, nada. As you pull out one after the other they
all fall into three categories. Sappy, too happy/goofy, or they’re
insulting. Because you need a card, you end up taking the
lesser of the three evils. Not any more. Want simple cards that help to say what’s in a Boomer’s heart? One that says “I heard you honey, and I’m there for you.” Or maybe one that says, “We boomers don’t have wrinkles, we have laugh lines!” Cards that help you express to your best friend that we’re going to laugh at life and make it! Finally someone has come along and given us a choice. Tracy Taravade surveyed what was out there in the greeting card line and said, “I can do better.” Guess what? She did. At Cascade Greetings, her line of cards is called “Young at Heart” and each one speaks directly to Boomer women everywhere. They are uplifting, energetic, and just plain fun. You won’t find anything depressing with the Young at Heart collection. Just a celebration of life. Cards that show baby boomer women living life to the fullest, enjoying their journey, and embracing every step of the way. Now we need a card to tell Tracy - thank you for listening!

MEMBER COLUMNS What is CCRC? By Jan Cullinane  If you’re looking to make only one move that will
provide for whatever care needs may develop, a CCRC
(Continuing Care Retirement Community) may fit the bill. A
CCRC offers a continuum of care and allows you to “age in
place” – you can transition from independent living to assisted
living to nursing care (some accommodate Alzheimer’s
residents), all within the same facility or on the same
“campus.” A variety of housing options is usually available, and
there is often a community dining area. If your goal is to
remain in the same geographic area, the sizable number of
these facilities throughout the country may enable you to stay
close to your present location, yet receive the help you need.
Or, if you decide to relocate, you’ll have the peace of mind of
knowing you won’t have to move again.Continue reading at this link: http://www.nabbw.com/columns/jancullinane.html Menopause and Irritability – All You Need to Know By Cathy Taylor  Many women in the stages of pre-
menopause and menopause feel depressed and irritable. Some
researchers believe that the decrease in estrogen triggers
changes in the brain, causing depression. Others think that
supplementary symptoms you are having, such as sleep
problems, hot flashes, night sweats and fatigue are the causes
of these feelings. Alternatively, it could be a blend of hormonal
changes and symptoms. However, these symptoms can also be
caused due to reasons unrelated to menopause, though
menopause is the main cause of these symptoms in a woman.
Mood changes and irritability may also be more common in
women who have had difficulty with PMS.Continue reading at this link: http://www.nabbw.com/columns/cathytaylor.html How to Make - And Keep - Your Memories By Barbara Friesner  As a Generational Coach and
because of the my mother’s dementia, I’m often asked by
people who are concerned about their “intellectual pauses” if
there’s anything they can do to remember more, longer, and
make their memories easier to access.Please know that I’m not a “brain specialist”. Nothing written here should imply a diagnosis or a way to prevent Alzheimers or any of the dozen or so other types of dementia. However, based on information I’ve learned through research, personal observation and experience, I say Yes!

by definition, means you’re
one clever time and resource manager. You can balance the
books, walk 3 miles a day, and volunteer at the blood bank in a
single bound. And all while running a business.
Continue reading at this link: http://www.nabbw.com/columns/jenniferkalita.html Zen Organizer Party Planning Diary By Regina Leeds  Recently a dear friend gifted me with a
birthday party. While it
was a great success, some things did not go as she planned.
Doesn’t that always happen when we have folks over? Her
response, however, has been to declare that she is never going
to entertain again. My suggestion is that we break the
experience down and examine what elements were successful
and which could have been handled differently for a better
outcome. In the case of entertaining, a better outcome is one
where the hostess is so relaxed she’s enjoying her own party.

spirits wake up. But as our hearts begin to soar and we head
off to whatever destination we've chosen, it’s vital to
remember that what’s most important in our lives is not in the
future. It’s here and now.
Jim McKennan knows this all too well. On June 1st he was
diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor—a complete surprise
for an active and seemingly healthy man who is the father of
four school-age children. The odds are not in his favor. But as
dire as his situation is, much good has already come from it.
His family and friends have rallied around him. “Team Jim,”
they’ve dubbed themselves.

being a mom. I don’t love my career anymore, and now I have
to figure out “What do I want to be when I grow up?
Coping with the quiet house and no fussing over meals, and no
more soccer games is a big hole for me. That is just part of the
darkness. I was on committees at her school and did morning
car pool when she was younger.Continue reading at this link: http://www.nabbw.com/columns/nataliecaine.html Commercial Leasing From the Landlord’s Perspective By Patricia McHugh Lambert  The terms of the lease will bind the
parties for a considerable
period of time and it is important, therefore, to carefully draft
the lease up front. Also, often times, when the lease term is
coming to an end and the parties want to negotiate an
extension of the lease term, landlords are tempted to just
amend the lease time and time again to extend the term.
Certainly that is the quickest method to keep the lease going,
but after a series of amendments, the underlying (original
lease) may be 10 years or older. It may well be time to engage
counsel, reevaluate the lease, and be sure it meets current-day
standards and addresses issues that simply were not thought of
those 10 years ago.

with short delivery dates, consuming workloads, growing
obligations and festering unfinished tasks, it's no wonder in this
what-have-you-done-for-me-today world we often feel time
deprived. Work-life flows to home-life, balance becomes
imbalance, and goals and dreams get relegated to a closet
shelf.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. In a recent "Winning at
Working" reader survey, the most commonly articulated work
problem was related to time. Overwhelmed. Overworked.
Overstressed. Too much to do and too little time to do
it.Continue reading at this link: http://nabbw.com/columns/ nanrussell.html Wail On, Dear Locusts By Julie Clark Robinson  “Rest is not idleness, and to
lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the
murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is hardly a waste of time.”
--John Lubbock
To normal people, a locust’s cry probably goes unnoticed. It doesn’t consistently chat like the cricket does – a regular rhythm of chirp, chirp, chirp. It doesn’t entertain with a sporadic song like a bird does. To a normal person, a locust is that big bug that sheds its skin and freaks you out if you cross its abandoned path. Continue reading at this link: http://www.nabbw.com/columns/ julierobinson.html That's Not My Job By Georgia Richardson  For over twenty years, I
worked in a job that held a service contract with the
Government. In other words, when they said, “Jump” we
responded with, “How high?” The thought never entered
anyone’s mind to say, “That’s not my job.” I also believe that
for the most part, these same work ethics were the norm
across the board in just about any store, restaurant, or other
places of business during those years.Continue reading at this link: http://nabbw.com/columns/ georgiarichardson.html Rescue Me By Donna Shepherd  “Even though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are
with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” –
Psalm 23:4 (NIV)As a little girl, I had nightmares, vivid dreams so disturbing I can remember them to this day. On more than one occasion, I’d climb out of bed, and sleepwalk and talk trying my best to rid myself of the images playing in my head. My mother would hear me bumping and stumbling around in my room and she’d come to my rescue. Usually when she turned on the light, I’d wake up. But a couple of times, I didn’t believe she really stood there. I didn’t recognize her. Only her persistent voice saying, “Donna, it’s me. I’m right here” awakened me and gave me comfort.

and humiliated by the dumb stuff we all do. You've no doubt
tried to hide the evidence that would expose you. And every
one of us has lied to cover up our mishaps. But what about
turning moments that might be thought of as mistakes into part
of your intimate family history?

Raven West (pen name) Robin Cohen Westmiller http://www.ravenwest.net http://stopguardianabuse.org Star Publish (http://starpublish.com) announces the July 2006 release of Blood Tastes Lousy With Scotch by Robin Cohen Westmiller. Blood Tastes Lousy With Scotch is available in both paperback and e-book versions, and can be purchased at your local bookstore and at online bookstores such as Amazon.com, BN.com, and others. Robin Cohen Westmiller is quoted as saying, “This is the true account of the events that lead to the near destruction of our family at the hands of my cousins, a court appointed guardian, and one of the most powerful Elder Law attorneys in South Florida. It is a story of determination, fortitude and of the victory, which inspired the creation of the National Association To Stop Guardian Abuse. They say blood is thicker than water, but you can’t bathe in it, you can’t cook with it, and blood tastes lousy with scotch.” A “mid-life crisis” in 2003 led her to enter the Southern California Institute of Law, a decision, which later turned out to be fortuitous in her fight to rescue her father from the clutches of a Florida court appointed guardian. Robin is the President and founder of the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse and a member of the Author’s Guild, Ventura County Bar Association, and National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. Guardian abuse is the new crime of the 21st century. The National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse was created to help victims and their families obtain justice in an seemingly unjust political and judicial court system.

I continue to be amazed at the gifts and talents of our NABBW
members. In an effort to allow you to get to know one another
better, I am trying my best to feature more members, review
more books and products, and introduce you to the cream of
the crop from our generation of women. Thanks to all of you
who show interest in the association, use your benefits, and
work hard sharing yourselves with me. It is my pleasure to do
all that I can to promote you in this newsletter and on our
sites. I hope you use this newsletter to network and learn as
much as you can about what baby boomer women are doing at
midlife.
I am happy to share that one of
our members jumped in with both feet and she happens to be a
fitness expert. Mary showed great interest in educating us
about midlife fitness so I chose to make her an associate.
Please visit her site and look for her first article in Boomer
Women’s World next month.
Looking around the summer corner, towards the
college launch, I imagine your hearts are beating faster and
your hands want to grab your little ones who are no longer
little.
