A Snowy Sunday this March 1st
Good morning from NYC. It's snowing now, just a little, with a major storm due in later today. I actually went to the grocery store yesterday and bought some food .. a rather novel move for me. The joy of living in NY is that just outside my door there is a mecca of food opportunities. I can buy take-out or go to any number of hundreds of foodstops/restaurants in a heartbeat. My years of cooking and shopping are well past. For me, it's simple. I keep very little around and forage as needed.
Point: Being a boomer woman, now single, with kid grown... I get to do whatever I want to do and don't have to do anything I don't want to do. Pretty cool! (although eating out does get expensive.)
After many weeks of being incredibly busy ... finishing my book, networking like crazy, positioning on the social media sites, I actually have a quiet weekend. Well, I have a cold, feel like I got hit by a truck... which is what happens when I push too hard... but none-the-less, I'm actually hanging out at home, watching old movies on TV (a rare experience for me, who hardly ever watches t.v.) and taking it easy. Can't seem to stay away from the computer, however.
I watched George Stephanopoulos this morning and got my news fix... then a bit of Meet the Press. I find it all scary, depressing and yet somehow also exciting. I think all of this will clear and we will have a new spirit, a renewed sense of what's important in life. Just hope all of our pocketbooks can hold on.
I have two things I want you to know.
1. My book, Sixty, Sexy, Sassy and Free: A Real Woman's Story of ReInvention is available for pre-order. Go here: www.sixtysexysassyandfree.com It will be delivered to me within 3 weeks and then I'll send it to you.
2. Please consider spreading the word about it. I wrote this book out of a sense of "calling." As the head boomer, I've taken on adventure and reinvention. If I can do it, you can do it ... and so can all those others out there that you know need things to be different now in their life. It's dedicated to all of you.
If you've ever had a calling ... you know it's something you HAVE to do, are compelled to do. Would just anyone take 6 months away from much of their life, scrimp, suffer to write a personal memoir? No, I don't think so. I've exposed myself so you can open up to yourself.
Now, I'm back to marketing, setting up reInvention workshops and getting on with my life. I'm thrilled (and terrified) for this project to be done.
So, these are my thoughts on a snowy Sunday in NYC, as I lay here with a terrible head cold.
Enjoy your Sunday, wherever you are.

The trucks are out moving the white stuff around. Hope your cold dissapates sooner rather than later.
I have bouts of heinous envy for those that find their calling...their mission if you will. For those of us who do not have the calling (and I believe that not everyone does) it has to be enough to appreciate the efforts of those that do. Whether it's art, music, writing, architecture, dentistry or making donuts.
