One of the great things about having a blog with loyal readers is the opportunity it provides me to share some of the awesome things my friends and fellow Divas are doing. I've decided to devote this week to sharing some of the latest with you.
First, it's the launch of a brand new resource for baby boomers. Boomer-Living.com, a subsidiary of The National Center for Baby Boomers, Inc., is a unique and innovative internet resource whose goal is to meet the needs and interests of active and creative Baby Boomers. Boomer-Living.com provides educational and informative content, products, services and community forums where like-minded individuals can learn and share. Their vision is to redefine the mental model of aging from one of limitation to one of rich and rewarding possibilities. The National Center for Baby Boomers and Boomer-Living.com strongly support the concept of lifelong learning, personal mastery, and self-fulfillment. Their focus is directed toward developing an in-depth understanding of their audience and to creating a means to meet their needs and interests. Boomer-Living.com is a trusted resource for baby boomers and a virtual "Center" or "Community" where members can visit twelve interactive locations relating to: Career Management, Culinary Arts, Financial Planning, Fitness, The Center for Well Beings,
The Home, Relationships, Balanced Living Center , Travel, Arts and Entertainment, Coffee House, and the Make A Difference Center.

Speaking of Valentine's Day - or any other card-giving occasion - what do you do when you suddenly need a greeting card and you don't have time to run to the store? Where do you find the most original selection of greeting cards available? The answer to both is simple. Go to Easy Greeting Cards from PopArt Diva. Just pick your design from a WIDE selection, print them on your own printer, trim along the dotted line, fold, and mail. What could be easier? Print as many as you want for only $2.00! http://www.popartdiva.com/DownloadableArt/Greeting-Note_Cards.html.
Be sure and check out FEISTY SIDE OF FIFTY RADIO - a celebration of women over fifty and how boomers are revolutionizing what it means to grow older. Give Eileen Williams just fifteen minutes of your time and she'll give you interviews with women who will inspire you to make significant and positive change in your own life.
There's a new workout video on the market. Pam Archer worked as the Creative Producer on a video for Anchor Bay Entertainment and Dragonfly Productions. It is now on the shelves in Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, (other retailers as well), and at Amazon, and http://www.collagevideo.com/. The title is "Dance Off the Inches-Country Line Dance Video". I can't think of a more fun way to lose those extra holiday pounds. Thanks, Pam!

Do you know what Diva Wendy has been up to? I just finished reading an email from former client, friend and mentor, Ken McArthur. In it he lists the speakers he has lined up for jvAlert Live 2009 in Orlando. jvAlert Live is Ken's big marketing seminar that I used to plan for him during my former life as a meeting planner and he only invites the best of the best to speak here. Want to know who one of the FEATURED speakers is? You guessed it - our own WendyY! Check it out:

I was planning to attend anyway, but now that I know Wendy is going to be there, along with my friend Felicia Slattery, nothing could keep me away. Hopefully, I'll see some of you there as well! I guarantee it's a life changing experience! Just look at me!
And...a great new book that's a must have for any one who wants to hone their networking skills to build their business. I have known Carrie Perrien Smith for many years and she is an expert in the art of networking. Her latest book, "Currency: Striking Networking Gold in a Relationship Economy," is an absolute gold mine of information. Learn more about Carrie, her company Soar With Eagles, and her book - http://www.soarhigher.com/currency.htm. PSST!! Bev! I think she has all the makings of a Diva!
