A Baby Boomer Woman's Life After 50. Judy Freedman, a fifty-something female baby boomer created this blog targeted to the millions of baby boomer women (born between 1945 – 1964) who are going through a similar life journey in mind, body and spirit. Widowed at the age of 50, and blogging for the past seven years since, she is "learning to reinvent myself". Her philosophy is to age gracefully, be optimistic about the future, and "keep my chin up…so my neck stays forever wrinkle-free."

Home, health, travel, fashion, love and relationships for Baby Boomers by Baby Boomers. If you want the real scoop- this is the site to use.
A Boomer community with color coded categories that have their own pages under the redstring network of social communities umbrella. The Red String network has not been updated since 2014. The dates do not show on articles from Boomer Living, so it's difficult to see how active this community is in fact. There are some good articles, but many categories have only a few articles in it. In brief- a good site to look at, and worth looking towards, but we are unsure of how actively maintained it is.

Life is a sensory experience, and it comes at us, but once, so we damn well better pay attention. says Deb, the creator or @DesignationBoom. She says that Destination Boomers covers the prism of life after 45 - TOPICS, ranging from A-Z - with a Kaleidoscopic view - that YOU make shine.
Also from the website: Why not share it with all its pleasures, frustrations, sights, sounds and ideas? We all have insights and viewpoints. Whether we’re 45+ or not, let’s continue to make a difference! Learning as we go, isn’t that what life is?
At one time, I also owned and operated a store called – AMBER WAVES ANTIQUES – in Pinetop, AZ. It was one of the most satisfying endeavors ever. The creativity of finding that something special, in Tulsa OK or Omaha, NE, was FUN!
But, back to why it all comes down to – why not? As we get past 40 life, it’s priorities and focus changes drastically.
There’s an absolute peace as we get past fifty and an acceptance of who we are and what we want.
Here’s hoping you enjoy the content and conversation and retweet it to your friends and enjoy coming back!
