Hi all. I also stumbled onto this site and considered just lurking but you are all so wonderfully compelling that I wanted to get involved. I'm in Florida also, so we are well-represented. I guess I was looking for information on women's issues when I came across this site. I'm in my late 40s and experiencing some of the things others have written about--wonderful changes in myself, turmoil in a marriage, kids growing up and having their growing pains...Not unusual stuff but hard to deal with sometimes.

I'm a university professor and I love to write. I write for work--publish or perish--but also for pleasure. I look forward to reading what others have written.

Someone remarked that things rarely happen by accident and I believe that, so I think that maybe this site will bring me something I've been needing, and I hope that maybe I can give in some way as well.

Welcome Lily......it is a VERY nurturing and supportive site so I have NO DOUBT that you were "led" here just as many of us feel we were. You can talk about anything and know that someone on the Forum can help or empathize or certainly want to listen at least! It's just a great spot.

Glad you are here with us. We do indeed have a growing Florida contingent....perhaps we should call Florida "Boomer Haven" ????!! LOL

Hi Lily, I have heard that the world of academia is publish or perish. All that research! What is your field? This site is full of creative women. You were accidently led to the right place! Love and Light, Lynn

Welcome Lily, what a beautiful name. You will love the humor, the strength and the sisterhood you will find here. We are all very different and yet so much alike in many ways. Thanks for joining us.

Hi Lily. Nice to have you in the forums.
Louisa

A warm welcome to you Lily. I also believe that things happen for a reason. What do you like to write about most? Our Florida branch of boomers just keeps growing and growing.Glad you found us.
