Baby Boomer Women "Don't Mess With Me!"
Right now, today, if you search yahoo or google for "baby boomer women" what you will find is many, many articles on how powerful we are. Do you feel powerful?
Some days, no. In fact, some of us seem to be sort of dropping out. I think it's a temptation to want out of the struggle. I'm talking to myself now and to you. During my career as a nurse executive, there were times when I was "taken out." People loose their jobs every day but that doesn't make it any easier to take. If you are "taken out" of the work force, so-to-speak, or afraid you might be downsized soon, take heart.
Here's what we must always remember, whether it is a job struggle, a hard time with your kids, a lay off, a spiritual struggle, or anything that tries to break your spirit, just say to that situation in your fearless female heart, "Don't mess with me!"
Insider Secret: You and I know that we are, deep down, get down, "Don't Mess With Me" Women...
But In A Nice Sort Of Way...
Don't Mess With Me
Baby Boomer women are a vastly underestimated force both in the market place and in life. There are over 40 million of us. Many of us are educated, relatively affluent career women who know we have a "don't mess with me" kind of spirit, but we are just strong inside, not mean.
Grandmothers Are Not What They Used To Be.
We are still nice, just like our moms and grandmothers. But grandmothers as most baby boomer women are, now live in a very different world than when we used to visit Grandma. A lot of us have worked as executives in the last several years, maverick types-we had to be. We can and we have handled just about everything. Like Arwen, in Lord Of The Rings, we believe we can ride like the wind. We still think of ourselves as her age, immortal, strong and beautiful-and we are, each of us in our own way.
When tempted to forget all that, don't! We are a powerful force and we must use our influence, our power, as a force for good. Now, in a nice sort of way, tell any thing stopping you, to just GET OUT OF YOUR WAY. Save the day, ride like the wind, be strong.
