Hi all
I'm so excited I found this site today. Funny how things work out...I actually found this site because I subscribe to HARO and this site was today's sponsor! I feel like I was led here and am looking forward to looking at more of the posts and seeing what other boomer women are doing.
I'm almost 51, have one son, 21, I gave birth to and 2 others (22, 28) I "acquired" when I became a newlywed just over a year ago. Meeting my new husband on match.com was an adventure in and of itself.
For over 25 years, I've been involved in technical communications and last year, for my 50th birthday present, my hubby said "why don't you go live your passions?". So I am...I've recently opened a motivational speaking and coaching company and am scrambling to learn all the web-related stuff (although a techie on some topics, I feel like a web virgin...guess I *get* to be some kind of virgin..grin).
I've decided this site is going to be my primary morning stopover while I drink coffee and figure out what I'm going avoid (oops, mean "do") regarding my business.
Blessings to all...I know each and every one of you is an Amazing...and I look forward to getting to know you and learning what I can do to support this community and be of service.

A warm welcome, MamaRed! This really is a special place full of amazing warm, witty, wise women. Home away from home. I'm glad you found us.
I'm 53, retired and living life at my own pace. I never had children of my own, but to use your phraseology, "acquired" hubby's two grown children when we met. Now I'm making up for lost time and opportunity spoiling my two grandchildren (7 years and 21 months) and loving every minute of being a grandma.
Again, welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing your voice here.

Hello Mama Red, my father named his boat "JeriLynn" nearly the same spelling as your name! I liked your site. Some of the books you feature I haven't heard of before, so I am eager to delve into what you recommend. I am 54. Married since 1988. Author of Beyond the Tears: A True Survivor's Story http://www.beyondthetears.comAnd today I put my Colorado Real Estate license inactive. How do you like your coaching biz? PL
