My business life is fun.

     Recently I was at a business meeting with women customers my age. Two of us have sent our last kid off to college this September and one woman had gone through the new empty nester syndrome 10 years earlier. She made a comment to me – “At least you had your career – I was a stay at home mom.”

     That statement stayed with me awhile, and I began to really have a new appreciation for its truth. My world for years has been equal part work and equal time at home. When my role as ”Mom In Charge” shifts to just  “Mom,” I still have the comfort that my role outside the home remains the same thing that brings so much to my enjoyment in life.

     Besides the family I have that are my kin, my other inner circle are my coworkers and the people I meet through business. Boomer Magazine is a true collaboration of compadres coming together with ideas and input. After all, we’ve redone the internet together at least a dozen times. There’s no better bonding than that.

     This last week was a fun day for our business. We went on a two and a half-hour Segway tour together on one of God’s gift to Richmond days.  Hollywood Cemetary with friends on Segways on a beautiful, autumn non-deadline day was better than being on a school field trip in May – but without middle school attached to it.

     I work with a group of people with strong senses of humor and high degree of interest in what they do, and I’m proud to be associated with talent that makes us all look so doggoned fine.

    The new issue of Boomer hit the stands with the Secretariat cover – I loved the Secretariat story but the entire magazine turned out beautifully. Thanks to each member who had anything to do with the final result.
