Name the new forum

And win a free Friends Heal Friends tee shirt and a copy of the Baby Boomer's Almanac, by Tim Brolus:

Thank to Kathy Ryan's suggestion, we are launching a new forum. Here is her post about what she is looking for. Others were in agreement, so let's find a name for the forum.

I wanted to post something, but wasn't sure where to put it. It is really about looking forward to the future. So many of us are "reinventing ourselves" and really looking forward to our "second adulthood". I would love to read about women who have succeeded in this endeavor, or women who are really looking forward to doing so. I have read some threads regarding this, but it seems to deserve a whole section of it's own. What do you think? Or if I am overlooking a section that focuses on this, please guide me toward the right place. I know that I am really looking forward to my future--my second adulthood. I would love to share our stories regarding this topic.

Put your suggestions in this forum. Thanks!

My first thought is "Blooming Boomers"

Whats wrong with calling it what it is....Starting Over?

Every day is a new beginning...

Or...Dotsie, your famous saying...Onward!

The journey...forward!!

My future starts today
Looking forward
Stepping forward
Tomorrow's dreams

Plan "B"
(as in "B"oomer)

chick

Oh, chick, that is GOOD!!

I love Chick's! But I want to get in on the fun. How about, "When I Grow Up"? I've often said, I am 43 and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

Cheers and Cheesecake,
Cathi

I love what Chick said...PLAN B! Love it...I'm on Plan C right now myself.

JJ

Thought of another...

The Second Bloom or
The Second B(l)oom

Trends?

You know....the more I think about it, STARTING OVER said why not "STARTING OVER." And in a sense, that's what it is...I like that, too.

JJ

Course then again, we could call it "A Do-Over."

JJ

I like "Starting Over" and "Plan B"...maybe it could be "Starting Over - Plan B"

Thought of more;

Redefining Life
Future Perfect

Or how about Kathy Ryan's original post where she said "reinventing ourselves"?

I LOVE the "FUTURE PERFECT" one. Even the "Redefining Life" is a great one. Oh gosh...how will Dotsie ever choose? These are all good ones and apply to the subject at hand. We are definitely reinventing ourselves, starting over, looking forward and going onward. Boy, I'm glad I'm not the one choosing! HA!

JJ

Well then, how about calling it Madonna? She reinvents herself every year.

She is good at it isn't she Dianne.

How about "New Fashioned"?
chick

Dianne, how true!

I'm going to make a decision on Thursday so keep them coming.

I took all that was said by JJ and others and came up with this:

"Just us G. I. R .L. S."

G oing onward
I ( ?)
Reinventing ourselves
Looking forward and
Starting over

What begins with I that could fit here nicely?

chick

BTW: I was just joking about naming it Madonna.

I like that, Chick. How about Imaginative? Illuminated? Ingenious? Important? Inquiring? Irrepressible?

Or how about "Inventing and..." (leading into the "RE-inventing ourselves") because some of us never got around to inventing ourselves in the first place?

I pondered this one for awhile and I still like it.

Transition - Stage III

When is the deadline here?
chick

I had to reread all these as I was certain I said why not call it STARTING OVER because JJ said someone else said that. I said it after seeing starting overs post about what she was doing. At any rate I'm lost now we have had so many calls for names, what is this one for again??

"Future Perfect" sounds great to me : )

-Dreams Fulfilled
-Boomer Dreams Realized
-Completing the Circle
-A New Journey
-A New Path
-A Different Journey
-A Different Path
- "It's Time To Do This...."

okay what else : )

Stage III reminds me of cancer categories. Midlife Awakenings. Midlife Transitions. I for inspirations or insight. Someday has arrived. Someday is today. Today is the someday of yesterday's dreams....
JJ, that picture of you on the BWS newsletter is so becoming! L

Or I for Identity. R.I.B.S. Reinventing the Identity of Boomer Sisters (I'm reading "How Good Do We Have to Be" by Rabbi Harold Kushner and he makes references to Adam and Eve, thus my thought of RIBS! L

Lynnie (good to hear your voice again!!!), I couldn't help thinking that since we're in the beefiest time of our lives, satisfying those sizzling passions and burning hungers we may not have paid attention to before, we could call ourselves the "BBQ R.I.B.S."

What a cute idea! I love it. R.I.B.S. That is so US! (That's "us" not US for my Canadian friends! ha!)....I love it Lynnie...Gosh, MS D is gonna have a hard time choosing this one! Everybody has been so creative. Oh and thank you Lynnie for the compliment...trust me when I say I have a friend who is a makeup artist...I usually scare small children.

JJ

Ha, Jawjaw...and I thought I was going to have you make this decision since you are now a member of the BWS/NABBW work force. Maybe you'll get to pick! This is a tough one.

This place is like a soap opera. I mean that in a good way. I just picked up where I left off! Sometime, somewhere, I might post about my hibernation.

Oh Lynnie, I love that!
