Top Ten Things Boomer Women Want


1. To fan the flames of our inventive genius and rummage in optimism’s closet

2. To build safe harbors and surround ourselves with the ones we love, unafraid to let our
tears run freely as salt

3. To live life with la passione, grapple with compelling issues, risk failure and mesh courage with humor

4. To shop for the first car we ever owned and buy it, then go night driving

5. To be shamelessly seduced by something indulgent and write our own happy- ever- after ending

6. To let good sense collide with a good heart, and give while the hand is warm

7. To walk the journey of earthly miles, understand that the journey will end and treasure bits of memory like old toys worn smooth

8. To grasp life swift and sure and savor what our senses offer

9. To love a dog, read to a kid, chase fat brown hens through dusty blue grass,
eat the last piece of pie, tango, knit one, purl one, laugh one

10. To get the moon up, turn the stars on and listen to Coltrane while life hurtles by, breathe… exhale… and just… let… go…










OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
