I've followed the newsletter for a long time and even have a story posted on BoomerWomenSpeak from a couple of years ago. It's called "Second Chances". It is a story of my son's head injury and our experience together through it.

to let you know a little about me: I have six children, three grandchildren, am married to my best friend. We just had our 10th anniversary in the Fall. We are both writers. I am a ghostwriter, author of Christian fiction and mainstream novels. My husband is also a professional editor - lucky for me - an in-house editor. I'm also partner in our own business consulting company.

When I'm not writing or consulting, I love to spend time with my family, read, garden, sew or quilt, or having a book signing.

I really look forward to being a part of this community for us Boomer sisters.

celtic_flame,
I'm impressed by anyone who can raise lots of children. I consider that the hardest job in the world. And, since I wasn't
good at it myself, I revere those who succeed at parenting, especially multiple times!

Welcome Dianne50! I hope you find a home-away-from-home with us here. I was never able to have children of my own, but did a lot of nannying to put myself through school, so have a great deal of respect for all mothers. I had 3 friends who had 5, 5 and 6 children respectively, and their homes are always full of energy, laughter (amidst the squabbling) and love. I babysat often for two of them, and always came away utterly exhausted.

Despite not having any children of my own, I HAVE been blessed with two beautiful grandchildren (8 & 2) through my husband's son. They are the light of my life, and I am indescribably grateful for the joy and laughter they bring into my heart.

Welcome to BWS and hello from London, Dianne50! I went to read Second Chances and your story is so close to what my family went through in 2001. And, like your story, all is well and I am always grateful for the gift of life.

Looking forward to running into you in the other threads!

Welcome Diane(50) -- I'm a newbie, too - and like you, I had(have) an essay in the "Our Voices" - way back when I first met Dotsie and submitted it and she took it. I was so excited and have ever been grateful to her. At that time, I didn't have much published - just a few little things in the local paper magazine or something like that. So, you can say Dotsie gave me the confidence to do other things. *smiling*

Six children! wow!

I do editing, too, besides the writing -- it's nice to meet other writers and editors, and COOL women here. I'm quite excited to be a part of this.

I'll go read your story...
