FEELING FINE AND FABULOUS AT FORTY-SOMETHING!

Not feeling the love for your slightly older, just a little creeky body? Well you'd better not let Sheritha Bowman know about it. She's a Washington, D.C. author and playwright that is laying it down for anybody not quite in the mood to feel fabulous. Oh yeah, she is kickin' some butt and not bothering with taking names.

Okay. You scared me. I'm leaving this blog RIGHT NOW to walk the dog.
Sometimes we just need a kick in the pants.
Thanks Sheritha.

Bad News for Boomers in 2020

Well . . . at least according to the recent novel Boomsday by Christopher Buckley. Seems his 29 year old heroine has all of the answers - a modern day Cassandra of Troy. Diane K. Danielson has included the author in her blog series on Entrepreneur and it spells 'curtains' for boomers and boys.

This all has something to do with boomers resisting change, like telecommuting and other technological changes (she writes as she works from home on her FIOS connected network). She mentions trends as outlined in the book, Nine Shift by William A. Draves: the demise of corporate America as we know it, working from home, and especially the move from an agrarian society.

Hmm . . . this will take a bit more looking into the matter. Check out her blog entry at
