WIthin a couple weeks there will be new forums added for the association. They will have to do with seeking, claiming and living our passions. They will be password protected for members of the association. Just keeping you up to date.

I think I missed something. I don't know what the Association is and am not sure I asm suppose to. Is it something private?

Very exciting time for you in this new venture Dotsie...will look forward to hearing more!

Way to go Ms D! Can't wait for that baby to launch!

The association - National Association Baby Boomer Women - www.nabbw.com. Dotsie's new venture - she has more info on it in the latest newsletter - check it out on the Boomer Women Speak home page.

We are all in the birthing room with Dots, excited to see the new baby.

Evie, thanks for explaining to Chatty. Anyone have questions? I'm happy to share. I'm not having labor pains yet. I've been very prayerful so I'm hoping I can deliver this baby without going through a painful labor.

I can't wait! Reserving renewing my NAWW membership until I find out more about yours.

Dotsie,

How is this all going for you?

Are you making sure you take time to take care of yourself?

Praying for you,
danita

p.s. have you noticed how many new people are signing in and becoming a part of the community???? I have one word for you...WOW!

Can you give us a number of how many registered users there are now? (if it's too much work - pleeezzeee don't bother! - you have enough on your plate!)

Hi Miss Danita, you can go to the member directory and it will tell you who is new, and their member number, so you will know how many BWSisters we have. LL, L

Or you can check the WELCOME posts, the new members number is under their names, well above 700 I know right now.....

Thanks for helping Danita ladies.

The crazy thing is that Korky Vann wrote an awesome article about BWS for the Hartford Corant last week. Many other papers picked up the entire article, or parts of it and published it in their papers. YAHOO. BWS is getting lots of media coverage.

Oh, everything is moving right along with the association. I have finally passed all of the information to my web master for the site. I am breaething a huge sigh of relief. Now it's all in her hands. She's doing a remarkable job. I'll be sure to post the link in the forums before it goes live so you can all see it.

I am taking time for myself. My kids are in and out throughout the day. Both kids come home for lunch with assorted other hungry teens so I stop to chat with them, make grilled cheese sandwiches, whatever. I've also been walking my dog with my hubby at night, and always have to get that much needed relaxing bath before hitting the sack. But when I am not goofing off with all the people coming and going at Grand Central...I am working like a DOG and loving it. Thanks for asking.

We love you Dotsie!

Thank you for your labor of love! Can you belive you are giving birth again?

hugs,

Danita (speaking for all the boomer women, I'm sure!)

Here's the link all:

Thanks for being on your toes chick!

Just learned today that it was in another paper in Myrtle Beach, SC.

I'm happy for those who chose to advertise this month because the site is getting tons more hits.

Ladies, also remember to visit the home page every now and then to see what's new.

Duh. Talk about mental-pause! As soon as I checked out that link, I realized I had already read it quite awhile ago right here somewhere!

Thanks Chick for taking the time to post that link.

I was asked to share this with you all. I completed an online master's degree in Education last September. All the courses--30 hours--I believe--were completed in online chat classes, along with submission of all written assignments, research papers, and final portfolio online. It was a womderful experience and really challenging. Self discipline was the hardest part of the course--getting assignments completed on time so that others in the forum could comment on the work.
I did the work through Indiana Wesleyan University.

Congratulations! You are the first person I know to achieve a degree online. I just wonder if you missed meeting people face to face?

Wow, Mamaj, that's an amazing accomplishment! I can imagine how challenging it must have been, especially in terms of having to be as disciplined as you had to have been to reach that degree from the comfort of your own home...so many tempting distractions! Congratulations!
