My 2011 Letter of Commitment
December 29, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
About 15 years ago, I attended a workshop that allowed me to see what was working in my life and what wasn’t. Part of the program was that we got to create Letters of Commitment, contracts between us and ourselves, based on several areas of life. These LOCs weren’t resolutions. They were blueprints of how […]
A 100,000 Year History of Pregnancy, Childbirth and the First Six Months Of Life
December 27, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
For those of you who live someplace other than the bottom of my clothes-to-be-ironed basket, you are aware that the world is always changing. And pregnancy, childbirth and young motherhood have changed along with it. I am aware of this because I have an 18 month old grandson, Jonah. Although he looks remarkably like the […]

I Will Not Be Invisible
December 19, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
When Life in he Boomer Lane and her friends decided to write a book about women over 50, LBL asked a lot of women her age what sucked about getting older. She expected to hear the sagging/bagging/dragging thing or maybe the memory thing or maybe even the empty nest thing. She didn’t hear any of that. […]
My Altercation With My Pilates Instructor, two, three, four…
December 17, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
It snowed yesterday and the roads were really bad, so Life in the Boomer Lane called the gym this morning to ask if the Pilates class would still be held and was totally bummed that the class was in doubt. LBL wanted to hear that it was cancelled. Awhile later, LBL got a call to […]
Are you acting your age?
December 15, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
The Washington Post printed a test titled, “Are you acting your age?” Here is some of it: Test 1: For one minute, count how many words you can say beginning with the letter “F.” Follow that with “A” then with “S.” Add them up. No pronouns, no repeats, no variations on the same word. People ages […]
I've Got Joy, Joy, Joy Down in My Pill Bottle
December 13, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
A couple days ago, while going about the always fascinating business of my life, I was overcome with an astonishing sense of well-being. It was as though zen-infused Karo Syrup was oozing throughout my veins. I believed, as I walked along the aisle of Target that I had found the true meaning of life […]

When my ex and I split almost 20 years ago, the only items of real value to me that I wanted to take were the photos, the children’s memorabilia, my own memorabilia, and my artwork. Along the way, some of these items disappeared. Others were forgotten. A couple months ago, my ex and his wife […]
