Past Life Aggression
Life in the Boomer Lane has been giving some thought lately to past life regression. She has noticed that a lot of people (herself included) have characteristics that no other family members have. This can easily be explained as imprints from a past life. As virtually all of her friends are the only self-proclaimed […]
Guerrilla Aging: Nourishment Comes in Many Forms
January 16, 2015
I’ve just returned from five days in Florida, visiting two dear friends, Joyce and Jean. These women were also my co-authors for the two books we wrote about life after 50. For that reason, our journey of friendship has been life-altering. I brought with me another friend, Judy, who came with me to visit several […]

While Life in the Boomer Lane has been frittering away her time keeping track of international terrorism and the antics of several unnamed heads-of-state, she has failed to notice a growing trend that poses a distinct threat to all women worldwide: the exploding number of post-50 women who are choosing to give birth.

Celebs like Nicki Minaj, JLo, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian have given bodacious booties a big boost. Enter Booty Pop, a purveyor of padded panties.

The Jobs Report
November 5, 2014
Huffington Post, in addition to its usual piece, bleating that sex over age 50 is the BEST SEX EVER, has an article about post-60-year-olds’ first jobs. This got Life in The Boomer Lane to stop thinking about election results, in order to free up enough brain cells to address herself to the topic of […]
Guerrilla Aging: Money Honey
October 31, 2014
Money means more than dollars. It’s tied to our sense of success, to security, to power, to independence. It can be what allows us, or stops us, from fulfilling our dreams. And, for most women, it’s something we don’t give much thought to until we are confronted with a major life change. For those […]
Guerrilla Aging: Faith and Spirituality
October 24, 2014
In the deepest places of our being, we tend to look at meaning beyond ourselves. We may know that our life expectancy is a finite number of years, but this doesn’t answer why we were put on this earth to begin with. We may know that cellular deterioration will be how most of our […]
