Greetings! "The object of a new
year is not that we should have a new year. It is
that we should have a new soul."
--- G. K. Chesterton
The National Association of Baby Boomer Women is
the only association devoted to addressing issues
concerning 38 million of the healthiest, wealthiest,
and best educated generation of women to ever hit
midlife, baby boomer women.
  The NABBW WRITING CONTEST The National Association of Baby Boomer Women, www.nabbw.com is proud and excited to sponsor the contest, Disposable Income, Boomer Women, Spending Power; that's what all the talk is about! What's the hype? That businesses need to market to us because we're the ones in the home with spending power. That's why the NABBW has chosen to sponsor this contest. Let's share with everyone exactly what we want in 2007! I'm betting the majority of the submissions will have nothing to do with “buying power,” but will include more ideas about healthy relationships, world peace, spending time with the grandchildren, learning new things, and traveling, just to mention a few.

When I decided to make conscious choices
based on turning my dreams into reality, I began to
make a difference—in my life and the lives of
others. You can too! Make the choice now to start
living your dreams today! Whether in the home,
at church, the work place or around the world,
baby boomer women can make a difference. Replace
your list of New Year Resolutions with a list of New
Year Dreams to Come True!I didn't achieve my dream to be a published author until I was 45 years old. I’m not sure if it’s because I was too pig-headed to listen to God when He spoke to me, or if He just waited until He was certain I had enough sense of head and heart to listen. It is said, “When the student is ready; the teacher will appear.” We’re all students of life and God is our Teacher—what will we allow Him to teach us this year? I’m honored to be the Featured Member of the Month on the NABBW site. The timing is perfect as this is the month I'm launching a brand new web site just for boomer women, along with a new blog, Dream- zine and a series of Teleseminars for people who dream of writing. Please visit my new web site and say hello! Boomer Babes Rock! Where fun, fashion, focus, facts, and faith merge to empower and inspire fabulous women all around the world! www.BoomerBabesRock.com Sign up for my FREE Dream-zine and receive FREE stuff (I love getting free stuff, don’t you?) My new Dream-zine is called: Boomer Babes with Bodacious Dreams. Does that describe you or the person you want to be? Every year we make New Year resolutions that “this year” will be the one we finally accomplish our goal to _____ . But at the end of the year, what so often do we have to show for it, but another “next” year? Proclaim now that this year is going to be different! God has plans for each and every one of us. He wants us to succeed, He wants us to have the desires—the dreams—of our heart. I hope along with pursuing your dreams, you will also find more and more reasons to feel happy, laugh more, love more and like yourself a whole lot more. I wish all of you a successful New Year as you begin to turn your dreams, resolutions and wishes into very real adventures—for adventures they will certainly be. Never let anyone say we are “too old” or that it’s “too late” to start fulfilling a life long dream. It’s never too late and God is never too busy to give us the strength we need to achieve the dreams of our heart. A frequent guest on radio and TV programs around the country, the 700 Club featured her life story in what has become one of their highest rated programs. She has been the feature cover story on Writer’s Digest, BOND, The Christian Communicator, O.H. Magazine, and Christian Women Online. Allison speaks at events, retreats and conferences around the country and frequently teaches at writer’s events. 2007 will see the launch of Teleseminars focused on empowering and inspiring baby boomer women around the world to achieve the dreams of their heart. Visit her web sites listed above, or email Allison at Allison@BoomerBabesRock.com BOOMER WOMEN SPEAK JANUARY WRITING CONTEST Snap Your Fingers and It's Gone!

Gratitude Works: Open Your Heart to Love By Katherine Scherer and Eileen Bodoh www.gratitudeworks.com Reviewed by Dotsie Bregel, www.nabbw.com Gratitude Works: Open Your Heart to Love It's a new year. Time to make changes. I can't think of a better way to begin than to count your blessings and be grateful. May I suggest that you allow Katherine and Eileen to help you with your mission? Their book offers 365 opportunities to give thanks. You can read it from cover to cover as I did and feel an overwhelming recognition of how blessed you are, or you can read one reflection a day and focus on that particular blessing all day long. Any way you do it, you will be amazed at what gets taken for granted. More importantly, your focus will become centered on the positive. You will feel uplifted and more optimistic by knowing you are blessed day in and day out. I recommend picking up this little gem. It also makes a great gift.

A necessary manual for every bookshelf, Baby Boomers Almanac is the one to purchase! No Man's Land by Diane Hamel www.nomanslandgame.com Where the Wisest Women Win A wickedly funny party-game for women Reviewed by Georgia Richardson, www.queenjawjaw.com 
When women get together you can be
sure of one thing ... F-U-N. Sisters, girlfriends,
sisters AND girlfriends, girls night out, girls night in, it
doesn't matter. You name it, women know how to
connect, how to bond, and they speak the same
language. They are also constantly looking for
different ways and different reasons to get together.
Guess what? We just got another one. Ms. Hamel's game, No Man's Land is a brand new hilariously fun and funEE (that's double E) game that women everywhere are going to want to play. The objective of the game is to answer as many questions as possible. For example, "Why do black widow spiders kill their mates after mating?" Here's the fun part. The players can either give the “official” answer which is, "To stop the snoring before it starts," or have your team give another one that you feel is funnier! The game actually includes TWO versions to play; Penile Code for one, Wit and Wisdom, with 30 Question and Answer cards, as the other. There's an instruction booklet, notepads, pencils, timer, and even a party guide with tips and menu ideas. Diane has thought of everything. Ideal for groups of women who love to laugh and want a good excuse to get together, pig out on some fun foods, and play a game that pokes fun at the opposite sex. It isn’t for the faint of heart, and I would label it “adult in nature;” however, with good friends and a light-hearted approach plus a little creativity, it could very well be one of the best de-stressors on the market today for women.

MEMBER COLUMNS HELPING YOUR AGING PARENTS GET WHAT THEY TRULY WANT By Barbara E. Friesner  In last month’s
article we looked at an actual client situation of
mine – family members who were genuinely
concerned about their 93-year old mother. They
wanted their mother to be safe and secure and “well
taken care of” – as did their mother. Conflicts arose,
however, as to how to achieve what was really in
her best interest – so much conflict, in fact, that
their mother had refused to speak to them.
Unfortunately, this kind of impasse often happens
when each “side” stakes their claim to a specific
solution and are unable to conceive of other options
or even shades of gray.Once the family reopened the lines of communication and got their mother to do the exercise “What I Want For the Third � of My Life”, the next task was to help the family see that they actually agreed with their mother on the core, shared goals – that their mother be safe and secure and “well taken care of”. Continue reading at this link: http://www.nabbw.com/columns/barbarafriesner.html Menopause Allergies: All You Need To Know By Cathy Taylor  Menopause is said to
have set in when a women stops ovulating and her
period ceases. Menopause allergies are common with
some women. Most women reach menopause
between the age of 45 and 55 years and the average
age for reaching menopause is around 50 years.
However, 1 percent of women reach menopause
before 40. Referred to as premature menopause, or premature ovarian failure, menopause brings with it a host of discomforts, including allergies from various allergens present in the environment. The immune system of menopausal women goes into disarray and many become susceptible to allergies during menopause. Menopause Allergies: What Are They Continue reading at this link: http://www.nabbw.com/columns/cathytaylor .html We All Have Flaws By Natalie Caine  It is 2007. Do you
dash, stroll, or crawl with changes you want to reach
for this year?Some of your kids have gone back to school or home. Some have gotten on your nerves because they are still at home and doing it “their way.” Other parents are savoring the best- friend- feeling until the kids return to life without you. Empty Nest shows up, again, and the pressure of setting goals and getting it “right” this New Year weighs on your back or lifts you to “I’m ready. I am sick of_________.” Doesn’t it seem we are always trying to change something, or figure something out about our behaviors that aren’t working? What about time for reflection. What about re-grouping after the holiday of care-taking others? Continue reading at this link: http://www.nabbw.com/columns/nataliecaine.html Eating an Elephant By Prill Boyle  How do you eat an
elephant? One bite at a time. Or so quips former
Arkansas state senator Jim Bob Duggar to a Learning
Channel (TLC) crew as he explains how he plans to
erect a 7,000-square foot house from the ground up—
even though he has no prior construction experience.
At the time Duggar makes the remark, he and his thirty-nine year old wife Michelle and their fifteen— yes, fifteen—biological children are living in a modest, three-bedroom rental. He envisions the family working together to build an all-steel, ten-bathroom home complete with a commercial kitchen and private laundromat. (No coins required!) The Duggars thought the project would take a year. It took three. They hoped it would be finished by the time child number sixteen arrived. It wasn’t. But you know what? They finally attained their goal. And in sharing the process with TLC viewers, they’ve shown the rest of us something about how to achieve our own impossible dreams. Continue reading at this link: http://www.nabbw.com/columns/ prillboyle.html CARVE YOUR SUCCESS KEY By Nan S. Russell  I had just finished commenting
to my husband how much I liked the use of copper in
the Parade of Homes' kitchen we were touring, when
I overheard another woman telling her husband how
much she disliked the look. It made me laugh. It's
funny how we see things differently.Work is like that too. It's fraught with differences of opinion. One of the more confusing areas can involve your performance. Early in my career, my boss told me my communication skills needed improvement. Five months later, a new boss heralded the same skill- set as a significant strength. While one might conclude I'd focused on developing skills in a weak area, that wasn't the case. The difference was their opinion. But opinion is not fact.

pain of child birth fades over time. And so it goes
with having a yard sale. I forgot the pain. Did my
friends remind me? Try to stop me? Negative. They
probably took great joy in watching me sweat
preparing for this sale, and witnessing my grief over
parting with my jun—ah, treasures. Some of these
friends went so far as to call me a pack rat. Me, a
pack rat? I think not! And as soon as I find the
phone, I’m going to call and tell them, too.For a solid week I pulled from corner cabinets, closets, the attic, and even took things off shelves leaving nothing but dust rings. It looked like I’d been robbed. I worked my rear end off! (I heard that). My sister came to help but vowed never to return unless I learned the difference between “trash” and “treasure.” Oh sure, like she’d know? The stuffed, practically genuine, artificial moose head she took as a “thank you” will look lovely in her living room.

say, "You are my God." My times are in your
hands. - Psalm 31:14-15a niv The secretary at my church publishes a monthly newsletter detailing church events and news from the members of the congregation. When I expressed an interest in writing an article to be included, my suggestion was met with great enthusiasm. What she didn’t know was that she would be dealing with a procrastinator. Sure, I start putting some notes together at the beginning of the month, but I always intend to get them together ‘later.’ And next thing I know – it’s the end of the month. Does anyone else do this? Am I the only one who thinks if it’s worth doing, it will be done better tomorrow?

business talks about the importance of networking.
But the real power and impact of how “meet and
greet” really works usually remains a closely guarded
secret. You’ve no doubt attended a conference,
training seminar, or even a singles dance and left
wondering why the heck you bothered to comb your
hair and wear your best shoes . . . right? If you’re like most people, it’s happened many, many times. But that’s because you never understood what you were there to do. If it was a conference you “knew” you were to sit and listen to the speakers. If it was a singles event, you “knew” you were there to meet the “right” person. That’s it. That’s all you “knew.” And so that’s all that could happen. Well, enough of that. Enough of you standing around waiting to be approached. Enough of you thinking it’s bad form to put yourself out there - BIG TIME.

Now I not only have more time, I’m more relaxed and when I am working, I’m a lot more focused. I got some excellent coaching on this from my business coach, Rich Schefren– some of whose tips I’m sharing here. Others are ideas I’ve added myself.

or another, you have almost certainly stepped on a
scale to check your body weight. But relying on the
scale to tell you if you’re at a healthy body weight
can be frustrating. Understanding what the scale
does and does not tell you will help you keep the
scale’s information in perspective.The difference between fat and muscle. A scale simply measures your total body weight in pounds (or kilograms). It does not measure how many of those pounds are muscle, bones, blood, etc. and how many are fat. Exercise physiologists call this ratio you body composition, typically referred to as percent body fat. Focusing on the number on the scale is problematic because you don’t know how many pounds are from fat and how many are from muscle. You may have heard that “muscle weighs more than fat.” That’s not true. A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat: one pound. Continue reading at this link: http://nabbw.com/columns/ marypearsall.html OCD – ON BEING MORE THAN A NEAT FREAK By Karen Stephen, Ph.D.  How do you know if you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD? You know that you might have OCD if you spend much of your time and energy trying to fend off unwelcome, recurrent thoughts (obsessions) or engaging in repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that you feel driven to perform. You have the sense that these thoughts and behaviors are irrational or excessive, or have been told so by others, but you have little or no control over them. Typical obsessions include fear of contamination (for example, refusing to touch doorknobs or use public restrooms), fear of acting on violent or aggressive impulses (for example, worrying that you may have accidentally run over someone and not known it), inordinate concerns with having your household or office arranged in a very particular manner (for example, being upset with family when they move an article or leave a dish in the sink), or fear of having terrible thoughts of a blasphemous or sexual nature.

age-restricted, age-targeted, or active-adult – four
different ways of saying “Life is great!” If you’re
tired of hearing the pitter-patter of little feet in your
existing community or longing to be surrounded by
like-minded neighbors, you may want to explore living
in an active-adult community. If a more age-
homogeneous lifestyle with facilities and social
activities that allow you to do as much or as little as
you’d like sounds like your cup of tea, there are many
choices, often close to your present home.Some of these communities have age restrictions, such as that at least one resident must be 55 or older and that no one under 19 may live full time in the community. Other communities are marketed to people over 50, without age restrictions. There are about 1,500 active-adult communities in the United States, and this number is increasing!
