Filed under: Boomer Women, Life Coach, Lifestyle Transitions
Discovering your genius is easier than you think. With the abundance and rapidity of information and the myth of multi-tasking it’s no wonder your mind is full of chaos. It’s amazing how holding everything in your mind stifles your genius and kills your creativity. Using the services of a life coach is an excellent way to move out of chaos into calm when you’re ready to tap into your creativity.
Letting go of useless information stimulates the genius process. As you begin the transition of releasing the useless information piece by piece, you will marvel at how clear headed/minded you are. One of the ways to let go of information is to spend some time in reflection.
Choices, Consequences, Maps and Detours Part II of II
While breathing and rubbing your foot you begin to smile as you reflect on the glorious walk you just completed and begin to plan for your walk tomorrow. As a boomer creating the life you dream about allows you to breathe and reflect. As you progress you’ll discover new thoughts and a new way of being that totally supports you in living the life you desire. You begin to think “finally after all of these years…”
Just when you think all is well, a detour pops up! Now you have another choice and a decision to make. Of course, you can ignore the detour and accept the consequences! Or take the detour and experience the wonderful journey.
Choices, Consequences, Maps and Detours Part I of II
You are always faced with choices and decisions. Many times choices are presented and you’re not even aware that you have a decision to make or that you’ve made a decision. Remember the time you found yourself giving into your granddaughter because she’s so adorable!
I know many of you have a navigational system. I’m still using MapQuest and had quite an experience the other day finding a restaurant. Finally, after sitting down to eat I started thinking about how MapQuest uses old information.

Allowing your creative juices to flow might take some getting use to. Did you have an imaginary playmate when you were a child? I know some of you still have her! Remember all of the fun conversations you had and all the outrageous things you did with your imaginary playmate.

5 Ways Boomer Women Use Innovation And Creativity Every Day! Part I of II
Last week my sisters and niece came to visit along with my grand niece, Cashmere, a 13 year old Pekinese. They drove in from North Carolina so I wanted to surprise them with a full course meal ready and waiting. The greatest surprise of all and my delight was when they asked “what did you use to season the food?” “It is really good!”
Little did they know that I had practiced my own advice on being innovative and creative by choosing seasoning that I thought would make the food delicious and flavorful; I also combined vegetables for taste and appeal.
Boomer Women: 10 Keys To Self-Empowerment
Have you ever met someone who is so naturally friendly that she never meets a stranger? She makes friends easily with almost everyone in no time. That type of person is called a people-person; she’s unbelievably nice and charismatic and can charm anyone into doing anything.

She never runs out of help, she’s always giving. She can do anything because there is no shortage of people behind her. All because she knows how to maximize her social potential!
3 Marketing Lessons I Learned From A Sand Hill Crane

Sand Hill Crane
While walking this morning a Sand Hill Crane flew overhead squawking. I thought that it must have been a flock because of the racket. To my surprise it was a single bird. This is very unusual because they usually travel in pairs or a flock.
Turning the corner, I could hear squawking to my right and then squawking to my left. In total wonder I listened and realized the squawking was a method of communication. The bird on my right would speak (I surmised) “I’m over here” and the bird on my left would reply “I’m coming”.
What Would You Do?
This weekend I met a most delightful woman. She is happy, living life boldly and totally living in the moment. While we were talking she shared that life had not been a “crystal stair”. She’d had many challenges, the most recent was being downsized from a job she loved. She was in management and ran the department of 35 employees. That had been her dream.
Once she was downsized, she looked for work in her industry. Finding none, she decided to look in other places. She’s a boomer and understood that she might have some challenges in replacing her income. Wisely, she decided to take whatever came first.
