Mother And Daughters Are Here To Stay!

Positive Attitude And Staying Fired Up By: Deborah Hayes | - When I was young my mother used to repeat a familiar saying Birds of a feather all flock together. Generally she used this saying when she did not want me to date a certain person. Someone she felt was too old for me, or too wild, or too whatever!

Midlife Transition "" A "do Over" For Women? By: Evelyn Kalinosky, CRC | - Someone asked me the other day why I refuse to refer to the transition that occurs for most women in midlife as a crisis. While its true that the word crisis means a crucial or decisive point or situation, or a turning point, it also has about it an air of instability and upheaval. Theres a negative connotation to the word, which perpetuates the stereotype of women being emotional and irrational. While both men and women experience the inevitability of midlife, its largely w ... Tags:midlife, women, boomers, aging, career, transitions

Plan Out Your Yearly Vision For The Retirement Life You Really Want By: Tracey Fieber | - When creating your retirement plan (and getting the life you've always dreamed) it seems most corporate executives and solo entrepreneurs hope for the best.

So often we are told to take action..."Just DO it", as the famous Nike ads admonish. Teachers, mentors, and coaches, too, have advised us to take action-any action, just get moving they tell us.
