Mama Mia - Great Movie for Indpendent Women

July 27th, 2008 · No Comments

I saw the movie Mama Mia today - what a great, feel-good movie!  It had something for everyone - music, comedy, and romance.  For me, it really hit home, as I grew up in the disco era dancing to ABBA.  I also have a daughter about to get married so those scenes were especially heart-felt.  […]

Five Ways to Motivate Boomers

July 20th, 2008 · No Comments

The boomers are coming and boy, are they coming in big numbers - 76 million to be exact.  It is predicted that 70% of them will remain in the workforce, some because they don’t want to live off a mandated wage through social security or pensions, and others because they want to remain productive and to […]

Lessons Learned in My Forties

July 17th, 2008 · No Comments

As I’m nearing a new decade - yes, I know I don’t look it - I have been reflecting on how great my 40’s really were.  My sister just turned 40 - and doesn’t look it - and she was lamenting about getting to that age.  I found that women should embrace their forties for a […]
