Boomers Booming

This book offers Boomers and succeeding generations a fresh, positive perspective on living life after sixty. The genesis of this book, company, and movement, comes from my three-year journey with my parents at the end of their life. During that time, I had a ringside seat to the treatment of “seniors.” There is no 501(c)(3) that deals with the issues of growing old, there is no 800 number to call when you have questions about options if your circumstances change. More alarming is how the “senior industry” takes advantage of our older population’s ignorance. That is what motivated me to write the book. During the process, I realized that our culture paints seniors/elders as second-class citizens instead of what they are: wise, experienced people brimming with knowledge who are a source of prodigious guidance and counsel. I like most of the Boomer generation am in that world. I also watched Mom and Dad enter it and realized that had they not had a lawyer for a daughter there was a good chance they would have died penniless. I also have a husband who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.  

This book is for Boomers and GenXers. There is no discussion on “how to die,” the focus is on how to live. It is not medically focused, it’s not about dementia and/or family caregiving nor is it about how ‘tough’ it is to grow old’. It’s about being free to live your life your way. Today’s Boomer thinks 65 is the new 40 and this book validates how much fun it can be when the last kid leaves and the pets are gone. It educates, motivates and presents fabulous opportunities!
