Welcome to Blogging Boomers Carnival # 86!
September 22, 2008
We’ve got lots to see and ponder in this week’s Carnival. As the weather here in New England begins to change and mellow, I’m contemplating change, re-invention, for me and my family as we transformed by the new experiences of college and retirement, and changes for America as it tried desperately reclaim hope and integrity as our guiding principles.
John over at SoBabyBoomer.com realizes political change is afoot and wants us to understand why Boomers (or yoomers, in my case) must be active in politics and shaping the fate of the world.
Are folk musicians and their audiences turning gray and fading away? That’s what the Boomer Chronicles wants to know. Are our musical tastes evolving?
Change is positive to my mind, but not always, particularly when it comes to health. Lifetwo.com shares one man’s experience with prostate cancer and how it changed him into an educator on the subject of treatment.
Certainly, our hearts do change over the years. Midlife Crisis Queen tells us what love looks like through the lenses of a 53 year old.
Vaboomer.com explores a different kind of change: “Is-I-Ness”
The way we talk to each other had changed dramatically. First email, now Facebook. Andrea Stenberg at The Baby Boomer Entrepreneur often gets asked what to do with the social media site Twitter. To answer those questions, Andrea wrote 7 Ways to Use Twitter For Fun & Profit
The GlamCafe is all about looking fabulous after 40, which really does require a change of attitude, if not style. If you’re wondering where to get an opinion about your outfit being ‘young’ , whatever you do don’t ask this person, according our glam squad.
Of course, everyone is focused on the rapid decline of our financial markets. With lifespan extending and finances shrinking, Janet Wendy at Gen Plus wonders how long we’ll all to work…’til 95 perhaps?
Finally, the first bits of change are happening over at This Marriage Thing. We’re like a teenager in that awkward getting-used-to-your-skin stage- remember that? But it’s all good. Change is good.
