Laurel D Rund Registered: 04/06/10 Posts: 56 Loc: Florida	Baby Boomer“Anger” Here I am, a Baby Boomer! Defined as a member of a massive group that influences the powers to be (ha!) ~ a group of women whose lives were shaped by having our consciousness “raised”. I have aged with courage, grace, and vitality but have come to realize that our youth-oriented culture tends to ignore women in their sixties as lacking in power and barely visible. Most women’s magazines stop counting after one’s fifties ~ something like giving “advice for the 20, 30, 40 or 50 year old.” Why should a woman in her sixth decade feel less viable, snapped back in time to the uncertainty of her purpose? Once again I found myself searching, questioning, seeking self-realization and validation. I now understand that life’s journey has gifted me with a treasure trove of experiences and awareness ~ my sleeping voice has been raised up from complacency into consciousness! I have become a woman reborn in the afternoon of her life, discovering that my purpose is in the “best of times”~ the present moment! In this sixth decade of my life, I happily claim my Baby Boomer status, and choose to leave behind the “Anger” having learned that the only person who shouldn’t overlook me is ME! I am proud to say that I LOVE the woman that I AM of Today! Laurel D. Rund Edited by Laurel D Rund (07/16/10 02:54 PM) _________________________ Laurel D.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Let us not forget the fabulous women in their fifties and the sensational women in their seventies. We just keep getting better and better...Oh and of course women in their exceptional eighties and finally the women in their nineties (my mom for one) are our nostalgia queens... _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/
