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.

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.

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!

This post really says 10 Jobs For Midlife Women but the positions related to both men and women. It is encouraging and hopeful. Baby boomers still have a lot of use for their skills. In addition it is not too late to retool and reinvent ourselves.

A wonderful woman known as “The Fly Lady” gave, what appears to be, an awesome keynote at the Boomer Diva Nation retreat this month. I was not in attendance but from the look of the video over at Boomer Diva TV it was awesome. So go and listen to a short clip of the speech given by the Fly Lady. Be sure to post your comments. Oh, and while you are there check out some of the other awesome videos.
Warning: Some of those videos might make you laugh.

I just wrote a post on my blogging site about making money with your blogging. Yet, I used a picture of a coin collection to illustrate it. Why?
Well, to be honest with you I had that picture in my media library and did not want to take time to take a picture of a dollar bill to illustrate my post. Yet, I realized that it was just right for my post. Why, because it gave me an opportunity to push the value of what I believe folks will learn.
So, why am I writing about this today. What’s my point? I have 3 points I wanted to make today:
1. Illustrate your messages as much as you can with videos, pictures, audio and sometimes song. It will grab the attention of your audience.
2. Relate to things you know. I know more now about coins and still learning. I know more now about blogging and still learning. What do you know more about and still learning.
3. Share with others opportunities to grow from others you have experienced. I know Cathy and have grown from her knowledge.
So there you have it. And while you are at it visit the post I am talking about. Let me know what you think.
