I just looked at this blog post on AOL News and it makes a very interesting correlation with still working baby boomer husbands and divorce status. But don’t stop there you just have to read the comments on the blog post. It is a hoot!

I love copywriting. I am a wanna be copywriter but right not the cost of taking a course is not in my current budget. So, I learn by seeing, reading and joining great fan pages like this one.

As I continue my review of Facebook Fan Pages I have joined I thought it would be helpful to share this blog post. It is from a really cool blog called Indie Business.
Now, this is what I am going to do. I will review the article on improving your fan page. I just joined the Indie Business Fan page and will study the information and how they format their site.
I am not a Facebook Fan Page expert so it is in my best interest to stand on some tall shoulders. Remember, I am a baby boomer and that is how we do things, right? So, take a few minutes to read this power-packed article on enhancing your fan page.
Please share whatever changes you made to your fan page as a result.
Oh, did I tell you that their fan page has 1,031 fans? They must be doing something right!

I love photography, thanks to my artist hubby, Ray Horner. So, I really appreciate the artistic work shared on this fan page. There is a Flickr Tab as well an album of Mary’s work in the Photo Tab. Also, her Notes Tab shares a behind the scenes discussion of some of her projects. I am looking forward to more of those inside insights.
Overall, I think this page is a refreshing pause and opportunity to view some great pictures. Also, it is an opportunity for other photographers to network.
I am glad to be a fan. Oh, and be sure to visit her INFO Tab so you can check out her websites.

My favorite feature on this Facebook Fan Page is the Wall. I am amazed at the gifts and savvy of these amazing baby boomers. I also appreciate the fact that teleseminars are available to all the Fans. In addition Fans are featured on the page. This page is not a waste of time. I also predict that the number of fans will only double by May, 2010.

Fellow baby boomers, how many of you remember viewing the opening of the Mickey Mouse Club House Show? I still can see my black and white TV with all those kids sitting down singing that song.
I don’t recall if I ever had any aspirations of being on the show. I never asked why there were no folks who looked like me on the show. I just liked the show and the song. It made you feel good.
I have been doing a lot on Ebay in my attempt to add to my pension fund and clean my attic. I noticed how many Mickey Mouse collectibles are present. I even added to the listings with some snow globes, video and soon to be posted Mickey Mouse doll.
So, if you ever want to re-connect to Mr. Mickey from “Back in the Day” check out some of those Ebay listings. Meanwhile let’s all sing that song. Why? Because we like you!

I am an avid movie lover. I view, review and cite them in workshops and keynotes. But so often I look at a movie and decide on how I would create a different ending. For example, the movie I posted the other day Dodsworth had one of those endings most of us would cheer. I mean after all he had such a horrid time with his wife. Why shouldn’t he be happy with a lonely woman his age who appreciated his gifts?
Yet, I came up with an alternative, rather controversal new ending. It goes something like this:
His selfish, self-centered and cheating wife goes home alone after he leaves her for another woman. While on the cruise ship she meets a dynamic baby boomer grandmother who provides some character building advice. The woman goes home and gets trained to be a therapist. Her clients are emerging baby boomer women with a need for a new perspective on life.
Later she becomes remarried and before the film is over actually apologizes to her daugher and hubby.
So, that is my version but do you have movies you would provide a different ending?

There was a woman who did not appreciate her mate, relationship and family. She just did not want to grow older and did all she could to escape. Now, yes this is fiction but this old movie still has some biting relevance to the complexity of relationships. The interesting thing is how much her baby boomer husband knew about forgiveness.
I simply love old movies and was able to view and enjoy this one tonight while preparing for a blog training. So, I share it with you. Tell me what you think. The movie is called Dodsworth.

Ok, this baby boomer now has a serious goal, live long life and keep going strong. Of course this is rather unusual so yes, I am glad to live what ever life God grants me and live it to the fullest.
I just read this story about a woman who is 107 years old in Newark, NJ. She is from Georgia, just like my mom. So, of course before I posted this I spoke to my 82 year old mom and shared the highlights. We all need encouraging.
I also hope that her senior housing complex has a full time social worker. They have been missing on a full time basis in Newark Housing complexes for a while now. Caregiving families need the advice and support when trying to keep their loved one OUT OF a nursing home for as long as they can.
This woman does have good support with her grandchildren. And it is a good reminder to us all to talk with our families to share in the support needed in caregiving. Of course I read it wishing I had had children to help me in providing support for my mom. But God has been good and when I have strength and a great homemaker life can rock.
Read this encouraging story about a 107 year old woman living in Newark, NJ. Tell me what you think. I was encouraged. Also, encourage families to sacrifice some time to visit when they can. Remember baby boomers our time is coming. Ha!
