Wouldn't recommend it for everyone, certainly, but for me it's been terrific - challenging both mentally and physically, scary, and FUN FUN FUN. :) Only wish I'd done it sooner. And I still need to figure out what I want to do when I grow up...

Besides keeping up with five teenagers in a blended family, 2 in college and the other 3 in high school, my jewelry business has grown by leaps and bounds. Now, I'm taking it online and the sky's the limit, if I can just find the time somehow to do it all. I can't see life slowing down anytime soon and I don't want it to. Rock On, ladies!

It is so interesting that when I was in my early 40's I was so stressed about everything. As a single mom and entrepreneur it felt the entire world was on my shoulders. I remember my mother sitting on the edge of my bed on her 50th birthday and looking at her reflection in my mirror on the dresser and saying:" So this is me at 50" I don't know if Mom was happy or upset with her place at 50 years old and now that she is gone from Alzheimers disease I cannot ask her. But I DO know that I looovvvee my age. Everyday I am thankful to be this age and be so in tune with my fabulous life. And whether there are problems or the days are easy...it is all fabulous because I have knowledge and experience to make it that way.

We both had our shades on and my hair was blowing in the wind. A lady pulled up beside us at the red light and said, "You two look really good in that car!" We smiled and said thank you and after we got past her, we laughed because we were just a couple of boomers crusin' and lovin' it. Life is what you make it at any age!

Rock is the music we grew up with and it stands the test of time. I was in the car the other day and "Friend of the Devil" by the Dead came on. I was able to sing every single word along with it. Sometimes I joke that the reason our generation's memories are faulty is because we've got decades of rock lyrics stuck in our heads. I'm still obsessed with Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, George Harrison, Bob Seger, etc. Granted, like everything else, classic rock was male dominated, but last fall we had the privilege of seeing Bonnie Raitt perform—she announced to the audience proudly that she was 59—still gorgeous and did she ever rock with her slide guitar!
