I spent 20 years as a law enforcement dispatcher and last year I decided it was time for a new career. I now am a security officer for a private security company. I spent yesterday at the shooting range practicing tactical shooting skills with a wonderful group of much younger men who now treat me as an equal. At my suggestion my company is hosting a "shooting skills for the 50+ female" class in March. The response has been overwhelming. Women have always loved shooting guns as much as men and it is never too late to learn a new skill that is not only liberating and builds confidence, but also a wonderful method of protection. Not to mention it is fun. I now own several firearms. I also am a wife, mother, and grandmother. My other hobbies are reading, gardening and knitting. My husband says he is very proud of me and feels more secure knowing that I can defend myself if the need ever arises. He is a military contractor and works overseas.I did not have to ask his permission to pursue my dreams. He is one of those rare men who has always told me I am capable of doing anything. So if you feel old and useless just remember you're not! Go learn something new....you got this! I am a 58 year old female.

I have always been invisible, but more so now at 64. I think I'll go shoplift to see if any one actually notices. (No, I won't; that's stealing and I don't believe in theft.) So what does a mild Milquetoast do to get some notice? I have a quiet voice but loud thoughts. Unfortunately, ourselves trumpeting ourselves will not make it happen.

Been wanting to talk with other women, over fifty, about many topics for a long time. I'd like to blog, be a part of a discussion, and will still think about it. However, am glad to have found this blog. I will explore during the next week and try to make some comments. Looking forward to starting! Curiosity has taken hold!
