Hi ladies,
I didn't want to cover up Meredith's beautiful story, so I chose this section to share my good news. I've been picked up by a new national magazine as their humor colunnist. The magazine is called BOOMER. Appropriate, eh? The first issue will hit the streets January 1. Lots of work for them between now and January.

These are some of the nicest people. I know I'm going to love being associated with them. They truly have treated me like a Queen.

When they get their web page activated, I'll give you the link. Right now it just advertises the upcoming debut.

I just wanted to share my good news with you all. I am so blessed!

Just in case anyone is wondering, yes...I'm still working for the Dotster....I will work for her until she runs me off. I LOVE working for NABBW and BWS. Dotsie also treats me like royalty. Some times I have to pinch myself to believe how fortunate I am.

JJ

Well Queen JJ as the saying goes, "as you sow, so shall you reap." You are treated like a Queen for two reasons, you behave like a Queen always, and treat all of those around you like royalty. You are headed for fame and fortune for sure. Congratulations!

I've been gone to "Momma's" for a few days and you girls are making me blush. There is no way I would ever leave this forum....You are too important to me.

Donna, I LOVE that picture of you! Wow...that's new to me. You must have done that while I was out of town. You go girl!

Thank you all for the kind words...it's because of YOU that I feel like a Queen.

JJ

Aren't we proud of our queen? Is she going places or what?

I just thought I'd let you know that they found her through the NABBW Web site. I have to share this becasue that was my intent for the associates and members. If one Googles baby boomer women, BWS and/or NABBW are at the very top of all search engines. This allows people to find us easily.

As I suspected, royalty is always national. Great news. Please remind us January 1st.

I just realized I never read this post because it happened in the middle of my extended "whatevers."

Congrats Jawjaw! I'm looking forward to the link.
