July 2006 Archives

My skin has taken on many changes in the past few years. I have had extra oily skin, extra dry skin, acne, HUGE pores, and no cosmetic has helped. I discovered that it wasn't about the outside remedies, it was about what was going on on the "inside" that made the difference. Duh, I shouldda known!

I've started the "Raw Diet" to turn my insides beautiful, so that my outside will be glowing, healthy and as beautiful as I feel! It is finally important to me to be healthy. I care about myself. That's HUGE for me.

It's all part of the new and improved adult adolesence I'm going through. Only now I have a great mentor (my new sense of self) to help me through this. I'm teachable and coachable, so I'll follow my plans. I am worthy of being a success in all areas of my life - health, wealth & wisdom. We are Wisewomen! I love being an adult! :)

Mid-life boomer women understand creativity. We have the power, the drive, the determination to make things work in a beautiful way, no matter the outward appearance of any given situation. The role of "Crone" in our society today as I see it is:
– Wisewomen are promoting creativity and insight
– Wisewomen are stimulating difference vs standardization
– Wisewomen are raising questions rather than ensuring answers

I was reading Scott Noelle (a parenting coach), and he had this to say:

In keeping with the American competition ethic, a recent study ranked all fifty US states in terms of how “family-friendly� they are. But the study overlooked one vital fact: The best state in which to raise kids is not a place, it’s a state of being — a state that transcends competition, dissolves conflicts, increases love and compassion, and facilitates learning. I call this state “creative presence.� Children call it “play.�

I love the power of Mid-Life! Women especially come into our own at this time in our lives. We no longer accept the status quo. Our hair, our makeup (if any), our buying habits, our homes, our opinions are our own. We're a power to be reckoned with and we no longer accept the dictum that's been hammered into for years. We want change, and we want it now. Women writers, poets, artists, muscians and creatives of all types are speaking for this strong, assertive woman. Our song will be heard and it will change the world for the better! Watch out world, boomers are gonna "get 'er done"!

I do a lot of online research and came upon this site: Boomers International. It showcases a lot of boomer talent. Dianne Carey, a wonderful poet, shares boomer power! See the poem that follows.

Women 50 and up are taking the internet by storm. We are the major purchasers, the major seekers of information and the major market to sell to online.

We are the healthiest, wealthiest and wisest women in history. Our vitality is unbeatable and our drive for success is unstoppable. If you are marketing to us, please do not refer to us as mature, senior or middle-aged. We are not willing to take any labels that are being handed us by the advertising world today. Listen up!

Instead of 20-something marketing, market Wisewomen sites about travel, autos, real estate, finance services, technology and home improvement. We have money and the time to spend it, and those who recognize its potential will prosper.

I'm coordinating the First Ever Canine Concert as a Fundraiser for the Columbine Memorial Fund. Doing this has stretched my leadership skills, my organizational skills, my patience and left me wondering about certain bureaucrats! Thanks for Dr. Joe "Mr. Fire" Vitale for this idea! Thanks to my Winning Edge Enterprises Team for giving me the prosperity and well-being to accomplish this goal! I'm learning to live a life of integrity with a group of people who believe in life moving forward, visualizing good things and then taking the actions to make that happen! Boy, I'm loving life and this process right now! :)
