Greetings!

"Take time to consider the events of yesterday and ponder the day that awaits you." by Dotsie Bregel

Living life according to the above quote certainly helps add meaning to life. May you spend your summer days with fun intentions and some peace when you reflect.

Life has been full. It may have something to do with the fact that my assistant, Georgia Richardsonwas vacationing in Alaska for two weeks. I'm grateful she's back and on the other side of this computer screen again!

Both sites, www.nabbw.com and www.boomerwomenspeak.com,  have been given facelifts and relaunched. Thanks for all the positive feedback about the new looks. Now we're gearing up to do the same for our Boomer Women's Girl's Night Out Forum Community. The new look will include personal photos, links to other pages within our sites, plus much more.  

Also, please note the newly formatted newsletter. We're trying to make life simpler for everyone. Less scrolling for you to do while catching all the latest boomer women news. We hope you like it.  

During the past month I've had fun being a guest with the following interviews and teleseminars:  

Dr. Teena Cahill - webtalkradio.net
Nurturing the Nurturers Two Busy (Or should that be... Too Busy?!) Baby Boomers Speak.
This was a fun interview where we both discussed caring for others in the middle years.  

Linda Joy Myers - NABW.org   
Discovering Midlife Creativity
Linda interviewed me about midlife as a time of self-discovery and re-invention. I shared ways to walk women through the process. The teleseminar will be available on the Members Only page at www.NABBW.com in the near future.  

Kathleen Gage - StreetSmartsMarketing.com
How to Best Utilize Community Forums to Gain Expert Status and Market Position
This one hour teleseminar was jam packed with lots of tidbits, secrets, and coaching tips about how to host  successful social networking opportunities. The teleseminar will be available on the Members Only page at www.NABBW.com in the near future.  

I've also added being an expert for Joanie Winberg's site LifeAfterDivorce.com. and writing for LiveElated.com to my list of partnering. RealBeautyIs.com interviewed me for their site and so did GrowingBolder.com. My answers to thought provoking questions will be posted at those sites.

Feel free to join me this Saturday at 6:00 PM (EST) while I carry on with Jacqueline Marcell oh her show "Coping with Caregiving" heard free for 6 years worldwide at wsRadio.com/CopingWithCaregiving.  If you miss the live broadcast, you can listen-on-demand to the archive via Windows Media Player or Real Player, free downloads available at: wsradio.com/how-to-listen.cfm. Jacqueline is the author of Elder Rage.  

Last, but very important - Lynn and Julie, Certified Professional Co-Active Coaches and Co-Authors of Your Life Your Way: The Essential Guide for Women, are searching for six women approaching fifty years of age or older who are seriously ready to make a significant change in their life and are new to the coaching experience. If interested, please contact me at [email protected] . I'll see what I can do to get the process started for you. You must be a member of the NABBW, www.nabbw.com.
 
And now, onward with grace!

Blessings,

She wants to take care of herself but can't always squeeze it in because she's so busy caring for any of the following: her husband, mother, father, children, grandchildren, in-laws, neighbors, friends, colleagues, etc. Won't you please help her out by sharing this newsletter and the NABBW with her?

Thank you for connecting, encouraging and supporting boomer women. May we all be enlightened, educated and empowered!
