One of the beautiful things about growing older is we suddenly mature into women who seek to make a difference in the world. We no longer exhibit reckless behavior--especially when it comes to men. We put "image" on the shelf and dig deep down into our souls to dot our "I's" and cross our "T's".
This month I'm sponsoring a Baby Boomer Women on the Move & Making History Contest. There are just two weeks left to enter.
You know, it's interesting. One of the things I discovered in putting together this contest is the fact that nearly all of the women who made a significant contribution to history did so in their late 30s and early 40s. Some were even older than that. I guess the point is, as we age when we come into our own as mature thinking, highly motivated women who aren't willing to settle for "business as usual." Our new found wisdom beckons us to do what we can to make a difference for our sisters. We're not afraid to take on the "big dogs" by challenging the status quo and we make a conscious effort to always start what we finish.
Isn't it FANTABULOUS to be a part of such a wonderful group of ladies? Just think, one day the history books may be writing about us.

Women on the Move & Making History
One of the beautfiul things about growing into middle age is I have gained the benefit of wisdom. It's like a light bulb went off in my head around 40 and all of a sudden I was ready to stand up and take charge of my life and to make a difference.
I am proud to be a middle-aged woman because I've seen enough and done enough over the course of my life to now prepare to pave the way for future generations. We, as middle-aged women, have made quite an impact on the way our world is shaped today. We’ve come a long way, but there’s still a lot of ground to cover.
As you are aware, March is Women's History Month. I am dedicating the month by profiling women who have made a difference in my life. You're welcome to read my blogs starting Monday. I also invite you to post your own memorable women and you may add them to my blog---if you like. I'm actually starting with my grandmother--who lived to be 101.
In addition, I am sponsoring a "Women on the Move and Making History" Contest, where one lucky winner will receive $75 for guessing the correct answers. Another winner will receive $25. The questions won't be easy but I'll be offering a hint :)
THERE IS A CATCH......

Dancing with Towels on our Heads
The other day I was driving home after picking up my daughter from her school bus stop and all of a sudden an "oldie but goodie" came on the radio.
"Ooh, baby, baby
Where did our love go?
Ooh, don't you want me
Don't you want me no more…"
If you're a baby boomer you know the song made famous by the Supremes. Immediately the song took me back to my childhood and the days when my next door neighbors and I would imitate Diana, Mary and Flo in the middle of our street. Of course, I was always Diana because I was the oldest and just knew I could sing and Loretta and Lynetta were my background vocals.
I don't know if this is an ethnic thing or not, but when we did our thing we had to have towels on our heads. That was to simulate our long flowing hair because you had to have long flowing hair as a singer. Our hair was always in braids and we wouldn't dare take those braids loose for fear of the pain of having them re-braided and the pain we would feel on our behinds for doing something we weren't supposed to.
As I continued to drive, I turned up the radio a little louder (the very thing I tell my daughter NOT to do) and I wailed my heart out—remembering a time and place where it was so much fun to be a little girl who dreamed of being a "Supreme."
I would imagine many little girls got together and imitated The Supremes.
