It’s a great pleasure to be part of this wonderful group of women, and at the center of the group is Beverly Mahone, where would we be without her!! I want to share some of a press release with you, and since I’ll just bet Beverly will find her way over here sometime soon, want to thank her for ALL that she has done for us! THANK YOU BEVERLY!! And fellow Diva’s that may stop by, ((((hugs)))) to you all!
They’re known as Baby Boomer Divas—women over 40 who are on the move and making a difference in their personal and professional lives. This month the group celebrates its one year anniversary. The idea to create a Baby Boomer Diva Web of Fame came from baby boomer author and expert Beverly Mahone who says, “This was my way to honor baby boomer women who were doing great things at midlife but weren’t getting their deserved recognition.
So what is a DIVA? According to Mahone, she’s a baby boomer woman who’s Divinely, Inspired, Vivacious and Anointed.
Mahone says the Divas are all very talented women who come from very diverse backgrounds around the globe. “We come from all walks of life and different races and are eager to share our knowledge and resources. We’ve had a few bumps in the road and some detours but we continue to persevere. Mahone adds that in addition to a global presence, they are also honored to have celebrities like actresses Debbie Zipp and Bern Nadette Stanis who are active members and want to offer their assistance in helping them grow.
Since its inception, the Baby Boomer Diva Web of Fame has continued to grow by leaps and bounds. Mahone says the Web of Fame is now officially known as Boomer Diva Nation—a nonprofit organization that provides a variety of resources to assist fellow boomer women in their endeavors. It’s also a place where women can network
Mahone anticipates the groups continued growth over the coming year. “Who would’ve ever thought last year that something called the Baby Boomer Diva Web of Fame would turn into what it is today?”

I wasn’t able to attend the first annual Boomer Diva Nation Spring Break event in Daytona, and have been sitting on the edge of my…uh…couch, with my laptop, waiting to hear from woman who have truly become friends over the internet get home and share with us their experience.
Beverly Mahone, the one who started it all, has posted all that you need to know at the Boomer Diva Nation site, so click here, read all about it, see some of the pictures from the trip…and OH how I wish I’d been there! Great job, Beverly, enjoy reflecting on a job well done!
It’s quieter than usual on the Baby Boomer Diva Yahoo discussion group because many of my Diva friends are down in Florida meeting each other for the first time, and enjoying all kinds of events and fun. This is a wonderful, diverse group of woman that I’m proud to call my friends, and I just can’t wait to hear all about the weekend.
Even though we’re having spectacular weather here in NJ, and I’ve loved my time digging in the dirt planting Petunias, I keep wondering “how are my Diva friends doing” or “I wonder what they are doing now”? It won’t be long before we’ll hear word.
There are several of us that had to stay behind, and not be part of the first annual weekend event, and we’ve been keeping each other good company while our friends are away.
If you’re stopping by for a blog visit, know you are missed…but somehow I bet you’re having way to much fun to be on the internet!
