I went to the movies yesterday and saw “Bridesmaids” and was very
pleasantly surprised. I thought it wwould be the typical “chick
flick: that I enjoy so much, but this was hilarious. I couldn’t
stop laughing, although there were some good points about being
down on yourself and how important self-esteem is for you. No
matter how talented you are, when you question your decisions and
let other people get into your head, you suffer.

Then I went over to “V” which is a high end adult living community
in Aventura. My friend who is legally blind and doesn’t drive of
course, has moved there. It is really spectacular and she and I
went out for dinner.Then I went up to her apartment and got a
tour of the facilities. What a view she has, and it is gorgeous
but also very expensive. Now we know why we have to make the
money!!

Went to another TCI meeting and that’s where we were given some
financial advice not only for out time here, but also when we
depart so that our families are protected. There are such
brilliant women there as well as so many who have great hearts.
It is so nice to know that women are making such a big difference
in the world.

I also had a coaching session with someone who is not only a great
coach but a good friend. It is amazing how someone else can pull
things out of you when they are right in front of your face. So
if anyone is looking for someone who has both a good heart and
also a ton of business experience, don’t forget about me. Women
are my passion and I’d love to work with you.

Had another coaching session with another friend out in San Diego
That too was valuable, but now I am going to concentrate on putting
all that good advice to work and as I say I am going to “follow the
plan.” Stay tuned as I will have some great offerings coming to
you in the future!

Question and Answer:

Q: There are so many things I want to do. Write a book, look at
changing careers, maybe moving to a new location, and even trying
a new hobby. I don’t know what I should choose first. Do you have
any ideas as to where to start?

A: Since you have so many things going through your head, I would
suggest starting at the very end instead of the beginning. Where
would you like to be in 5 years? Then think about how you’re going
to get there. How do you want your life to look? Does that answer
give you an idea as to where you should live? What about the new
hobbies? Can you find a locale where you could do them most of the
time? And careers–is there somewhere that has the special industry
or environment you are looking for? Or is it right where you are?
Really look into your crystal ball and see how you feel about it.
Your gut reaction will tell you your truth.

HOW TO BE A BRAND NEW SPUNKY OLD BROAD

It’s your job to go out and educate other Spunky Old Broads so we
can make this world a happier and better place. It’s up to you and
the people you meet to spread this message.

First you need to have achieved the goals you set out for yourself
at the beginning of your journey. At least have them in motion.

We live in an interesting and exciting time, but there are many
challenges as well. Just think of the impact you can have if you
decide to make a positive change in someone’s life every day.
It’s extremely amazing and powerful.

Tackle just one area for yourself and someone else. Initially,
take care of yourself and then figure out a way to help another
person or cause. You can set the world on fire if you take on
something you are passionate about.

And that’s what S.O.B.’s are all about. I have met women in the
50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and even 90’s who have taken on events and
causes that seemed impossible. And the impact they’ve had is
incredible. It has always amazed me how much influence just one
individual can have once they get the ball rolling.

You probably have had a brilliant brainstorm at one time or another,
and may not have been able to take advantage of it immediately.
That’s why you should journal and write down your inspirations
and the things you’d like to see, read, participate in or join.

Enjoy being with yourself. Laugh out loud every day, by yourself
and with someone. Laughter gives you vitality to help you deal
with what’s going on around you and helps you overlook the negatives.
It’s infectious and helps put sunshine in your life by laughing at
yourself and sunshine in other’s lives by sharing your sense of humor.

Participate in activities that challenge and stretch you. Go to
places beyond where you’ve been before. Make new friends and enjoy
them for who they are, not what they might give you. This is the first
step in re-inventing yourself. Age disappears in our minds when there
are things to do, friends to share with and a progression to our daily
living.

I know it’s easier to live things “as is.” It may be less complicated,
but it isn’t the S.O.B. way.

Don’t spread yourself too thin. You may have the capacity to do a
great deal at once, but you are the only person who can judge your
ability to juggle one obligation against another. Don’t take on more
than you can handle.

If you ever get to a breaking point, you will certainly know it.
That’s when you have to make a decision as to how and what you will
do next. You may have to ask people to give you more space and expect
less from you. But when most people find out how important your routine
is to you and know you plan to stick to it, they respect you for it.

You’ll be amazed how a 1% improvement can change your outlook, your
level of achievement, your commitment and your spirit. S.O.B.’s
always practice the good while continually improving and learning.
When that stops, you’re no longer an S.O.B. or at least, not one who
can “kick butt.”

Keeping strong and prepared will inevitably present itself as a key
to survival. No one can live your life or knows what works for you
but you. Do what you need to, so you can enjoy the bliss.

When things look like they might fall apart, go back to the basics
and prioritize. Set your parameters and stick to them. Just remember,
there is a light at the end of every tunnel.

Being an S.O.B. is a continuous journey, not a destination.
