This year, I've decided to Boom my life. Don't know
what that means? I didn't either until I asked Jeff
Taylor, the founder of Monster.com and most recently,
Eons.com, the hot Internet meeting place for 50 plus
boomers. No, it's not another site to find your soul
mate — although you can do that — it's much, much more.
I was delighted to have the opportunity to meet Jeff
and Eon's spokesperson, Jane Seymour, recently and learn
what Jeff's new venture has to offer those of us who
don't plan to pull out the rocking chair anytime soon.
Learn how to top ten yourself…and more in "Boom
Your Life."
Speaking of soul mates, romance is in the air. Not
the kind of romance where lovers exchange glances over
candlelit dinners, but romance between the pages of
novels written by romance writers who'll converge en
masse on the Valley of the Sun this spring to attend
the Desert Rose Romance Writers bi-annual writers' conference.
If writing a novel is a dream of yours, (and Jeff Taylor
has a list that ranks novel writing in second place
for boomers who top ten their life dreams) then you'll
want to read how to make that dream come true in "The
Plot Thickens: writing romance is big business."
In this issue, you can also read about "Eclecticism"
as explained by our resident design expert, Ernesto
Garcia. Our travel guide Susan Lanier-Graham goes to
"London, Royal Style" and also takes to the
sea to review "Today's Floating Resorts."
On the local scene, Sarah Parkin uncovers a very unusual
business here in the middle of the desert, and new contributor
Richard J. May explores Phoenix's own Chinatown, or
the closest thing to it, at the Chinese Cultural Center
where you can find everything from silk to huge tanks
of live eels, fish, lobster and crabs.
Getting back to Boomers, or anyone else for that matter,
if you really want to optimize your potential, but aren't
quite sure where to start, read "Extreme Makeover
For Your Life" by Roberta Proulx who interviews
life coach expert Dr. Marcia Reynolds.
Now, after reading all these wonderful articles, I'm
torn. Do I boom my life or get a life coach? Better
idea — I'll do both.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, enjoy the View.
