NEW VIDEOS – “50” Is a Big Deal Birthday For Most Women and a Time Full of Promise!

YOUNGER WOMEN ARE LOOKING AHEAD!

A young staff member at Plume (my paperback publisher) interviewed me for two new videos to celebrate the paperback publication of “50 Is the New Fifty.” Because the interviewer was a young woman, I was reminded (again) of how important it is for women in second adulthood to be seen in our culture – to be visible and happy. We are each other’s horizontal role models. And, just as important, we are paving the way for younger women.

Younger women today are looking ahead. The fact that some of the things they may not be able to do now – or achieve now – will be there for them later is very reassuring for them. Many of them also have very open and intimate relationships with their mothers. And, when I saw younger women buying two copies of my book, many said they were buying a copy for themselves (because they are looking ahead) and another for their mother. As loving daughters, they believed the book would make their mother feel better in this transitional stage.

The new “Fifty Is the New Fifty” (Part 1 & 2) videos are on YouTube.

What could be easier?

They are also available at Penguin Group USA http://bit.ly/c3cxA2 along with the Reading Guide. The Discussion Questions – “A Circle of Trust is a Must for Women” can spark a lively conversation at any gathering of women – young or older.
