FEATURED ASSOCIATE Michelle Jakubiak, President Boschel Creative www.boschelcreative.com  Michelle Jakubiak is president of Boschel Creative, an agency specializing in web design and development, print design, and multimedia. An artist at heart, she always wanted to be in a field where she could share her creative talents and ideas to help others. She also liked to be challenged, and found that with web design, there is a lot more involved than simply putting a picture and some text on a page. Figuring out how users will navigate the site, who the site should be marketed to and how, how the site can actually help the business, how it can be found it search engines, and making the site work on all browsers and platforms are just some of the areas she found needed to be answered while developing a site. Before moving to Maryland, Michelle previously worked in Chicago at one of the top five advertising agencies in the city at that time, and was the head of the web department. She handled web media for many accounts, including Burger King, M&M/Mars, Allegra, Kelloggs, and Paccar. While enjoying agency life, she had always aspired to start her own company for two reasons: (1) to interact with clients in a more direct, personable manner and (2) have a family and a business simultaneously. Boschel Creative currently has over 100 clients and an office in Sparks, Maryland. They not only specialize in web sites and development, but also multimedia, such as cd-roms and presentations; and print design, such as brochures, direct mail, and corporate identity packages. Michelle is a member of On Purpose Networking, and an NABBW Associate. Good news for you NABBW Members! She offers a 20% discount on all services for members. Michelle truly enjoys what she does, and strives to grow her business every day. She currently lives with her husband and pug named Cupid, and enjoys sports, reading, and jelly beans.

Regina Leeds, www.reginaleeds.com NABBW NOVEMBER TELESEMINAR Mark Cornwall www.babyboomerpublishing.com An Insider's Guide to Estate Planning Tuesday November 28, 2006 - 7:00 pm EST 
What if . . . You've just inherited a large sum of money. Now what? Your spouse or "partner" has passed away. What or who is entitled to share in the remaining estate? What about step-children or other living relatives? Mark Cornwall's mission is to help educate baby boomers about estate planning BEFORE they visit an attorney. As Mark says, practically no one outside of CPAs, financial consultants, or attorneys, has been taught anything about death or inheritance. He's here to change that by giving you, in layman's terms, the knowledge you need to talk to an attorney about planning and managing your estate. According to Mark, these are a few reasons people finally do something about estate planning:

The Smart Couple’s Guide to the Wedding of Your Dreams: Planning Together for Less Stress and More Joy www.smartweddingcouples.com By Judith Sherven, Ph. D & James Sniechowski, Ph.D. 
Reviewed by Lynn C. Tolson,www.beyondthetears.comAs relationship trainers, motivational speakers, and workshop leaders, the authors of this book have credentials. Drs. Sherven & Sniechowski wrote Be Loved for Who You Really Are (St. Martin’s Press, 2003), The New Intimacy (Health Communications, 1997), and Opening to Love 365 Days a Year (Health Communications, 2000). Married since 1988, they also have the personal experience of marriage longevity in the difficult-to- navigate labyrinth of relationships. Their co-authored book, The Smart Couple’s Guide has personality as well as practical advice. Divided into fifteen chapters, Drs. Sherven & Sniechowski thoroughly discuss aspects of the wedding plan. The authors offer true-life cases from hundreds of couples as examples of those who chose to plan their wedding together. These examples are used in a variety of settings: from “Popping the Question” to “To Change Names, or Not.” Dispersed throughout the book are insights from the authors’ own co-created wedding. The authors even research the history behind wedding customs, yet empower the wedding couples to co-create their specific style of wedding according to the themes and traditions of their own choosing. The Smart Couple’s Guide . . . is not a wedding planner, but a useful source of suggestions that illustrate how a couple can plan their wedding (and marriage) together. The authors state: “By living out your commitment as a couple throughout the planning process, you will experience new possibilities and new levels of awareness.” Pre- marital relationship building skills is a main theme of the book; the authors cite values such as honesty and integrity as the foundation of the wedding, not the number of tiers on the cake or names on the invitations. To strengthen those skills, the authors give the reader questionnaires regarding “The Ten Key Issues of Married Life” and “Financial Truth.” Whether it is the reader’s first or fourth marriage, whether the reader is age thirty or seventy, The Smart Couples Guide to the Wedding of Your Dreams is a must-read prior to the “big day.” After all, the wedding day is a step into the maze of marriage. This book will steer the reader by offering clarity and reality to the couple as they journey together. that ridiculous blue sky By Monica B. Morris, Author and former professor www.monicabmorris.com/ Reviewed by Patti Hill, www.pattiswriting.com For any woman who thinks she needs romance to live, for any woman trying to find her way in a new world, for any woman who needs to laugh at her own insecurities, for any woman learning to trust her instincts, for any woman striving to develop courage- -this book will allow you to explore the inadequacies of your own life through the language of story. You'll find your own deepest thoughts reflected through the characters; and, perhaps, discover something new and revolutionary for your own journey. "that ridiculous blue sky" could very well become one of those favorite books you return to again and again; one of those faithful companions that curl up with you in your favorite chair on lazy afternoons. Between its pages you will find; rest, excitement, hope, fear, courage, commitment, friendship, love and self discovery. A true gem.

MEMBER COLUMNS PERSUADING YOUR PARENTS: A 2-STEP PROCESS TO SUCCESS – Step 2 By Barbara E. Friesner  Last month you were
about to find out what your aging loved ones truly
want for the third half of their lives (using the
form, “What Do I Want For the 3rd � of My Life”
that you downloaded from the Newsletter page of my
website www.AgeWiseLiving.com.
The next step, then is to look at what they wrote and figure out what their responses mean. The easiest way to explain how to do this is by using an actual example.

weakness is an inescapable fact of every aging
woman’s life and dealing with the accompanying
symptoms is an achievable goal through proper
health management. Menopause and the problems
that come along with it is largely dependant upon a
woman’s genetic make-up, but equally responsible is
the way she has led her life. Her lifestyle, family history and the amount of exercise, diet balance and emotional well being she has maintained, are all contributing factors that determine her possible menopausal issues.

taught us to look at our first “money memory” from
childhood to help us understand how we view and
handle money in our adult lives. Now, let’s take a
look at your “childhood entrepreneur” memory, and
get a sense of what your now-boomer self can learn
from her inner entrepreneur.The more successful business owners I talk to, the more I see clear evidence of an entrepreneurial spirit as far back as elementary school. Rather than a simple stroll down memory lane, there is something to learn from looking back as you continue moving forward.

I am deeply sorry that my cough cut the event short before I could directly respond to your questions. Here are the answers to the first two questions that were asked. I'll answer the others in next month's column. - Can you please give us the Magic Formula one more time? The Magic Formula is simple yet powerful:

such a sin?
Everywhere we look—magazines, movies, TV,
billboards—we see airbrushed images of gorgeous,
wrinkle-free women who appear to be in their
twenties, even when they’re considerably older.
These women are held up as our cultural ideal, as if
adhering to this rigid and unattainable (at least for
ninety-five percent of the population) standard of
beauty ensures that we’ll feel fulfilled. But as social anthropologist Kate Fox argues, we don’t just equate this distorted vision of beauty with fulfillment. We equate it with goodness, holding onto “an irrational but deep-seated belief that physically attractive people possess other desirable characteristics such as intelligence, competence, social skills, confidence —even moral virtue.” Continue reading at this link: http://www.nabbw.com/columns/ prillboyle.html CARVED IN GRANITE By Nan S. Russell  In the Black Hills of South
Dakota, carved in granite, the six-story faces of
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham
Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt create a grand
impression viewed from a distant, or standing on the
national monument's viewing terrace. Visiting Mount
Rushmore on vacation, I found the documentary of
its making fascinating. Weeks later, one story stayed
with me.It turns out the sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, planned to have the figure of Thomas Jefferson on George Washington's right. But after painstakingly carving a portion of the massive face, Borglum reached such poor quality granite that he could not complete the stone portrait the way he desired. So, he decided to blast away the carved face he had worked months to create, starting again in a new location.

Scotland nestled between two castles, is a road
called, “The Royal Mile.” In Alabama, I also have
a, “Royal Mile” and was determined to walk it every
day. Being royally fluffy, and with the holidays
nipping at the heels of my walking shoes, the time to
get in shape was now or never. I also knew with my
personality, I had to ban every excuse imaginable
from my mind. No more Ms. Nice Gal . . . I said to
myself, “I’m fluffy; therefore I’ll walk.” It was that
simple. I take it back because nothing, nothing is ever simple with da Queen here. Nada. Continue reading at this link: http://nabbw.com/columns/ georgiarichardson.html Spiritual X-Ray By Donna Shepherd  The good man brings good
things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the
evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in
his heart.Luke 6:45 NIVSeveral years ago, my son fell on his arm while skating. From the outside, his arm looked fine, but his cries of pain told a different story. When the doctor held the x-ray up to the light, even my untrained eyes could see the jagged edge of his small bone sticking out. I can still hear my brave little soldier's cry of "Ow-ow- ouch!" when the doctor needed to 'set' the bone back into place. They had ushered this nervous Mom out of the room for the procedure, and when I came back in, I saw my baby's freckles standing out in stark contrast to his paler than usual complexion.

stuck in a rut, blocked from the love and success
you want, and you don’t’ know why – you are under
the spell of what we call The Love Grip. When we’re too young to know the difference, we unwittingly give our innate love and loyalty to our parents and larger family, culture, neighborhood and church and thereby internalize their all too often limited and negative judgments of who we are. Because we are largely unformed, we readily and without question believe what we are told about our lack of value, our incompetence, and our tiny place in the world. Then, in order to keep that primary and primitive love in place, we call it The Love Grip, we have no choice but to stay true to that negation of our magnificence.

thinking a lot about resilience. Why? As I’ve told my
friends, it feels as if my life has imploded. A stark
description, but that is how it feels. The much-
dreaded crisis with my aging parents has come to
pass. My mother had a stroke and entered a nursing
home; my father is in shock. They live 100 miles
away so I’ve been making weekly treks to see them;
everyday, it seems, I’m on the phone with my dad
(of course), but also with social workers and doctors.
I myself was sick for a couple of weeks and a work
project fell through. And just when I needed it most,
my six-months-long relationship with a lovely,
nurturing man ended. Enough, I thought. Then last night, after a difficult day visiting my parents I got the call so many women in midlife fear: An old friend who told me she has breast cancer.

are right around the corner, but that doesn't have to
mean disaster for your health and fitness program.
With a pen, paper and about a half hour of "thinking
time," you can create a simple wellness (sanity) plan
that will help you stay balanced, healthy and active
through the holiday season.To begin, determine the time frame (e.g., six weeks) when your schedule is most likely to be interrupted. Then write down the challenges you anticipate, such as "Aunt Jane's fudge," or "won't be able to do my walk because it will be 20 below zero at my in-laws house in Alaska." Finally, write down your objectives for this time period. Include a minimum number of workouts for each week, basic eating guidelines and special goals (perhaps "volunteer at the homeless shelter"). Just taking the time to anticipate challenges and plan objectives will help you make better choices and feel more in control of your circumstances.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD is one of the anxiety disorders that can be experienced by anyone. It is experienced by almost everyone who has experienced some type of severe psychic or physical trauma. That trauma may have occurred in childhood with symptoms appearing decades after the original traumatic event. Or it may occur during their adult years. Psychic trauma occurs whenever we feel that our very lives are threatened. In some cases, that is exactly what has happened. For example, a near-death experience from a terrible auto accident, a physical assault, or a war trauma where massive physical injuries have occurred. Other times, we have experienced a moment when we thought our life would end—a near plane crash, having a gun muzzle put to our head, being told as a child that we would be killed if we told the “secret”.

of my all-time favorite movies is “Brigadoon,” and one
of my favorite television programs, “Highlander”—the
story of the immortal “Duncan MacLeod of the clan
MacLeod”—it was surprising that I had never made it
to Scotland before, a lack in my travels that I had
been intending to remedy as soon as possible. So
when my friends said they were going to Edinburgh
to visit their son who was spending a semester
abroad, and suggested I join them, it didn’t take
much to convince me to take them up on their
invitation.Continue reading at this link: http://nabbw.com/columns/carolsorgen.html Choosing the Ideal Retirement Location By Jan Cullinane  If you’re
thinking about relocating after you retire, what
characteristics should you look for in a new
community? Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all
answer to this question, but there are some general
guidelines. Where to Retire magazine surveyed its
subscribers and asked them to list what they felt

location . . .Continue reading at this link: http://nabbw.com/columns/jancullinane.html Seasonal Skin Care By Janet Horn, M.D.  With the coming of
colder weather, your wardrobe is not the only thing
you should be adjusting. You may already have
experienced the need to change more than just
summer linens to wool sweaters. So what am I
talking about already? Your skincare
regimen.This may seem obvious to you. Colder weather causes the skin to dry out more, right? Of course. But you may have also noticed that as you’ve gotten older, your skin feels drier than it used to – and all year long. That’s definitely not just your imagination, but a fact of what happens as skin ages and the body loses estrogen. In the uppermost layer of the skin, the epidermis, lies the stratum corneum which is made up of cells called keratinocytes, which mature and change their properties as we age.
