Girls, I am home for lunch. Thank you, thank you, thank you one and all.You guys are keeping my fire lit!
I want you all to know that I am doing up a proposal and I will keep you all posted.
I listened to Dotsie who said to hunker down in prayer. Well last night around two, I hunkered and asked if I should do this and wondered "what if" other half gets transferred, and ALL the "what ifs." Well, God said. Go for it, do it and if you have to move? Franchaise that store and start another in Nashville and/or Huntsville. Who knew?
I want to thank you all for the ideas, but don't leave just yet. Keep them flowing.I need you to brainstorm still.
Menopause home test kit? Anyone ever tried it? Oh and I love the glasses idea. Wicking, huh? Sounds great!
I am researching everything menopausal that I can get my hands on.
Anyone recommend a really good skin lotion?
Tomorrow is my day off and I have a lot to do.
I have other posts to reply to also. Forgive me for neglecting those.
Well it's back to the grind...but not for long?
Luv Y'all
chick

How about a name like 'Seasons' or 'New Season' or 'It's a Boomer Season!' Or 'Still Crazy After all These Years' or 'It's all About me'
or 'My New Life' or 'Embracing Life' or 'It's a Wonderful Life' (too corny?)or 'Indulgence' or 'My Secret Indulgence' or 'Passions'or how about M-E! (stands for menopause expressions)or.....I'll keep thinking!

Since silver is assocaited with being over 50, how about something with silver in the title?
Silver Lining
Silver Stars
Or something that says this age is a new beginning?
New Beginnings
We're just getting started
We've only just begun

How about
"My sister's place" or
"The Seasoned Woman"or
"Simple Indulgence"...did someone suggest that already?
I lived in "Heart's Delight" in Canada, anyone like that name?
Keep those names coming. We will find the perfect one, soon.
In the meantime, I have a special request.
I want to put together an advisory board of Boomer women who are interested in encouraging and supporting me through this whole process. I have so many questions and need answers from seasoned women like ourselves. For instance, I would like to know more about private label packaging. Any of you know about this?
If you are interested in beind an advisor to me, please let me know. We can continue to post here. I just don't want to continue this conversation where everyone gets sick of me talking about it, ya know what I mean?
I thank each one of you for encouraging me so much already.
Luv
chick

The Seasoned Woman says it all...I think people would know immediately who the store was for!

chick, I am happy to help when you decide to put your store online.

We have a salon up the street called All About Me, but I think you should stick with something for older, wiser women. A store just for midlife women sounds wonderful.

I also like Seasoned Woman.

Ok you guys I have a funny--this may not be the right topic but we've been coming up with ideas for the store and this fits in.

I was at WalMart at 7am on Sat. morning shopping before work. I was in the bread aisle once again thinking to myself that the loafs of bread are too big--Most of it goes bad before I can eat it. There was a man there stocking bread so I went over to him and mustered my courage to ask him to submit an idea to his company, that they make loaves in 1/2 sizes because it goes bad before I get it all eaten. He said that many single seniors were making that request and that I should add my voice via the website........When did I become a single senior? I missed the parade AND the marching band on that one! I stood there in the aisle and probably looked ridiculous with a shocked, fixed smile on my face....I was stunned.

All I could do upon reflection was laugh.....I haven't even turned 50 yet!

Maybe the Fabulous Seasoned Woman, Silver Linings, I still like M-E!

The half loaves of bread are being done. At least they are around this area. They are called Bunny Loafs. They are exactly 1/2 the size of a regular load and you are sooooo right. They are much needed because a whole loaf would go bad before I could eat it. (Back when I ate bread).

I am not keen on the Seasoned Woman. To me it says OLD. That's just me though. I would love to be on the board for you if you haven't already gotten enough replies. I love what you're doing and think you are so smart to do so. Go Chick!
