I just finished watching a special report on CBS News, 60 Minutes about the crime of rape that is committed in the Congo against women. I am not a journalist but if the goal of a good news report is to let you know what is happening and making a call to action this show was very successful.
Why am I making an appeal on this site? Because many Baby Boomers are about making change and contributing to causes that make sense. This is one of those causes. Please visit the site and read about what is going on during this evil rampage of destruction.
The site is women to women and it provides more information and ways in which you can, if you choose, help. This is one of the organizations providing hope through direct services. I don’t know of any others but if someone does please let us know.
You know baby boomers are still making a difference. I am hoping that even this short post can make some kind of an impact, even if it is just an increase in awareness-which is a lot.

I am planning to develop a review decal. This decal will be for anyone who would like to have it on their website or blog website. If you have been reviewed already by this site please let me know of your interest.
Thanks
Rosie

The most important entity in the world is the family so we are – just4families
That is the tag line for the site just4families. I like the site because it is dealing with insights from a boomer who is sharing her insights about parent hood to other boomer parents. She states:
“I am a 50 plus second time parent with 4 little girls all under 5. I trying to get a forum and blog space put together for parents who are a little on the mature side.”
The site has lots of resources for those who need to reconnect to the joys of parenthood while in their boomer years. The author is based in Australia which is really cool for those who want to learn more beyond the shores of the USA on child rearing. One of the things I love about blogging is the ability to make those unique cultural connections and learn without getting on a plane.(smile)
I also like her blog design and the interesting fonts she uses for all her headings. She is using a Drupal blogging platform. I will discuss that platform soon on bloggingforboomers.com
So bottom line is , if you are a boomer parent who could use some additional resource info and someone to chat with that understands what it is like to have a child in your mature years check out this site!
