Other women who've been working since they were twenty will now have retirement income. Not me. I stayed home. I got the joy of watching every step of my children's infancy and childhood. Now I'm stuck with just me.
As I make my way out into the sunshine, I sure would love to hear what other people have to say about being "just a homemaker" and what happens next.

Besides being celebs, the common thread for the grouping is that they are all middle age baby boomers--not a bad time to be thinking about what things you want to do before it's too late to do them (whether by death or other incapacitation). »more»

One of the more common items on "Before I Die" lists is the writing of a book.++ Of course people want to do more than just write one, they want it published as well. But how does one go about writing and publishing? Self-publishing is the answer for most of us. »more»

I've been writing about the creation of the company that runs this web site and how it was the natural outgrowth of where the founders are in our lives. We were aided in knowing where we were by the existence of "Life Plans" which laid out certain things that we wanted to accomplish prior to their being no time to accomplish them.

In parts I-III, I wrote about how the founders recognized the need for a Life Plan--especially as we were undertaking something as significant as starting a new business.
