Feisty Side of Fifty is On the Air!

Have you checked out what the ladies from the Boomer Biz Coach Community have been up to lately?

One of them has been quietly making a name for herself with her new radio show - Feisty Side of Fifty Radio! Elaine Williams writes a great blog - The Feisty Side of Fifty - which is always full of insightful discussions on topics and trends of interest not only to boomer-generation women, but women of all ages. But it seems that's not enough to keep her busy. She's embarked on a brand new outlet for her ideas with her radio show.

She's had some extremely interesting guests lately including Mary Higgens Clark (queen of suspense), Suzanne Braun Levine (Founding editor of Ms. Magazine and great friends with Gloria and the gang), Dr. Pepper Schwartz (relationship expert who has appeared on all the national talk shows) and Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor (neuroscientist who had a stroke--she was > Oprah's featured guest, along with Eckard Tolle, on her "Soul Series").

She is so excited about the show's success - and since she is a member of inaugural group of the Boomer Biz Coach community, we are just as excited. After listening to a few broadcasts, we just had to share it with everyone. Since it's an Internet radio show (blog talk), you don't have to worry if you can't tune in live because you can download any program you'd like. You can see the line up of Feisty Side of Fifty Radio and click on the link to the show(s) you would like to listen to.

Once you have listened to a few of her interviews and read some of her blog posts, I know you will become an ardent fan like I have. And you will want to share her outlook on "maturing" so check out Feisty Boomer Boutique to pick up some suitable attire to proudly proclaim your boomer spirit.

Where Have I Been?

I know - I sort of dropped out of site for the past few months. I admit - the anniversary of my dad's death hit me hard. I miss him more than I thought possible - especially if you remember how I used to complain about having to take care of him.

Then Dearl's health problems cropped up again and that has just taken my full attention. It is so hard to watch him slowly get worse as time goes on. But God has seen fit to provide me with not 1 but 3 distractions to care for. 3 new grandbabies in the last 4 months.

Reid Michel Henderson was born in April. He lives in Rogers with mom and dad so it will be very easy to spoil him!

Brianna Lynn Ditmore was born in May. Christine and Brian are currently stationed in Corpus Christie, so I had to go to Texas. I have been present at the birth of every one of my grandchildren and I wasn't going to miss this one. She was premature and had some health issues but she is fine now and is home.

Right after Brianna, I had to head to Jacksonville so I could be there to see Mylie come in to the world. Mylie was a bit later than we thought she would be so I have been in Jacksonville longer than expected. But she and Shelby, her mom, are both doing well.

And Dearl seems to be doing a bit better for the moment. I don't know how long we have - 2 years or 20 - but we have decided to just live each day to the fullest so what time we do have is spent with no regrets.

So - I am back home now and trying to catch up from neglecting everything for so long. Fortunately, most of my stuff runs pretty much on autopilot now so it won't take me long to just go in and update things.

Although I've been slacking off, the ladies from the Boomer Biz Coach program have been hard at work. Check out the latest project from Kathie Thomas. Kathie has taken up photography as her latest endeavor and she has some sensational photographs. In fact, one of her photos has been shortlisted for the Melbourne Map Guide. They found it on Flickr and plan to use it for the Melbourne Butterfly House at the Melbourne Zoo. You can check out Kathie's photos at http://www.photosbykathie.com/.

Meanwhile, please do me a favor? Take our travel survey on Boomer-Living.com. 6 short questions is all it takes and I would be very appreciative. Thanks! http://boomer-living.com/travel/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=118,

Glad to be back at work! Watch for further updates from the Boomer Biz Coach ladies!
