I love this thread. It's great to know what each of us are striving for in our lives. So many women take a back seat to their dreams when they take care of their families and when it's time for them to soar, many of them don't know how or remember their dreams. So I'm glad to know we've got many life coaches here to help them.

In all my dealings with authors I've never heard one say their manuscripts were stolen when they sent it to an editor or publisher. I agree with JJ that most of them are just like us, good, hard working people trying to get ahead in life.

Ew I have opened my own publishing company. Just waiting now to publish the first book. It's a long undertaking in order to understand how to do it and what you want to do with the company. When I'm ready I'll be letting you all know about it. But it's named Tide Dancer Publications. I am going to open it up to the boomer women here.
