When Life Doesn't Fit

This is for all the women who have been there and done that; who have baked the cookies, changed the diapers, and attended all the PTA meetings.

Now it's our turn to develop or well, just do. When life doesn't fit any more, change your life!

It is so exciting to see women in their 50s and 60s starting new careers and major projects. Remember, Moses didn't get called to ministry until he was eighty but was put on the training cycle at birth. If you're in that fifty- to sixty-year old category, that also means you're part of the Baby Boomer Generation and we don't stop, we change.
