Meet Ginnie Siena Bivona
 How
many women buy their first business at
50...write their first book at 58...sell their
business at 68 and write another book and
celebrate their 78th birthday on the movie set
for Little House On the Prairie?
Meet Ginnie Siena Bivona. She has done all that
and more.
Her first novel, Ida Mae Tutweiler and the
Traveling Tea Party was released in 2000. On
March 7, 2009 a made for TV movie based on the
novel premiered; Bound By A Secret, starring
Meredith Baxter, Lesley Ann Warren and Timothy
Bottoms. It has been on TV eight times since the
first release and to date has a viewer count of
many millions.

Review:
Dead Men Don't Have Sex
 No,
this is not a racy story about sex. It's about a
vitally important new book, Dead Men Don't
Have Sex: A Guy's Guide to Surviving Prostrate
Cancer, by prostate cancer survivor, Robert
(Bob) Hill.
The back cover says it's written in a crisp,
entertaining style. It is indeed, but it's so
much more. It is a thought provoking account (a
diary, actually) of author Bob Hill's ordeal
with prostrate cancer. It's sobering when you
realize that this year alone, about 200,000 men
will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Options for Work After Work
 A
whole lot of us are questioning whether we will "have" to work until we die.
Sticking with the current rat race is not the only option.
If you do it right, including some amount of paid work as part of your
retirement lifestyle is likely to result in a more satisfying retired life
overall. The key is figuring out how you can do what you love for money. And
how you can do it for as much of the time as you choose instead of letting
your work life trump the rest of your life.
As you consider how this might look for you, there are six important
questions to ask:

Do You Push When You Could Ride?
 It
happens to all of us when we desire to fix,
change, or shift something: we push when we
could ride. What's that really about?
Years back, the guy cutting my hair told me
about a conversation he'd had with a co-worker.
She had complained that her father had used the
push lawnmower on their acreage when he could
have used the riding mower. He told her, "That's
how you live your life."
I had a couple of days when I was trying to
figure something out-something I wanted to
change, fix, shift . . . whatever it took. On
the third day, during meditation I thought,
"I've confused myself. Show me." What I heard in
my mind was, "Stop looking and I'll be able to."

Our current financial situation should make any buyer of any new financial
product think twice about what they are buying, as well as the integrity and
competence of the seller of the product.
It is also imperative to be equally vigilant in evaluating assets already
owned.
Many consumers simply don't realize that what they already own may not be as
competitive as similar products offered at other financial institutions.

How I Became Known as Badge 311
 Aie-yup!
I bet you could tell just by looking at me (size
4, "back nine of life") that I'm a volunteer
cop.
It began with a short article in our
neighborhood newsletter seeking applicants for
the auxiliary police force. I figured I'd go
through a brief interview, provide a couple of
references, and undergo minimal crowd control
training. I was looking forward to being wrapped
in one of those over-sized, oh-so-stunning
glow-green vests so I could stand around crime
scenes muttering, "Nothing to see here folks.
Please move along." I was so naive.

Facing
Challenges as a "Senior"
 Regardless of our age, there are challenges to face and
obstacles to overcome. During my 20s and 30s, I didn't face them very well
and overcame few. Blinded by idealism, I was book smart but life dumb. As I
near 80, I find that I still have daily challenges and try to add a little
wisdom as I resolve these situations.
Sadly, many young people equate age with stupidity. I am ticked off when
someone looks at me as if I don't know anything simply because I am 'an old
lady'. Then again, I can't say too much because I realize that many have
knowledge and education but know little or nothing about life or people.
Often they are so self centered that they don't think or care about the
opinion of others. Much of what I have learned came from painful experiences
and I shudder to think of the situations they will learn from in the future.

Six Reasons Boomer Women Are Over The Hill
Before They Get to the Hill
It's not
difficult to avoid going "over the hill"
prematurely if you know what it takes, and if
you are willing to make an effort to keep what
you have right now. Here's where many women "go
wrong" in their attempt to stay youthful:
1.They don't believe it's possible to take a
different route to avoid going "over the hill."
Many women have bought into the myth that
regardless of what you do, you will decline and
become decrepit anyway. "It's all in the genes."
That's a copout. No, it's not all in the genes.
Seventy percent of how well you age is the
result of lifestyle choices you make along the
way. (1)
