Welcome, Baby Boomer Women!

Baby boomer women know the adage "fifty is the new forty" has become a mantra for everything that is right with today's women! Midlife really is a significant milestone for women. If you are nearing the half-century mark or remembering it, I hope that you find something on this site that will give you pause or make you smile. Start having fun after fifty...there's more to life after menopause than you ever dreamed!

The approach to turning fifty and all the things that go along with it - the beginning of menopause, the threat and reality of empty nest, the metamorphosis of our bodies into what seems like a cruel trick by Mother Nature - may make us feel in some ways as insecure and vulnerable as we were at the age of fifteen. It can be a time to focus on your career or return to college...have some fun and travel.

Most importantly, it's a time when we become comfortable in our bodies, minds and spirits - many of us for the very first time.

We hope baby boomer women will take the time to explore this site, offer feedback, and be sure to visit the links page for more quality sites that you can peruse. After all, we're all in this together!

Here's to having fun after fifty and life after menopause!
