Years later, I became a baby boomer diva with women of my own age bracket, women doing remarkable things with their lives, and almost every single one, had a Blog, or two! My interest aroused, I wanted to know more. A Blog was definitely something worth trying, and why not? I wonder if I could do this? Before giving it any more thought, I took the plunge, daring to step outside my comfort zone, to join my sisters by sharing my thoughts and information with the world! One more challenge in life, and one that had been inspired by these incredible ladies to boldly go where I had never gone before.
Here we were, women over fourty flying through cyberspace at ridiculous speeds, taking risks and daring to test the waters on all new ideas, then reporting back eagerly share with others. I was on my way!
Already a published author, the world of Blogs became a vessel to opening more doors, with this, I found it easier to try my hand at other genres, posting pieces here and there, the online readers, posting critique. It was also a great medium for advertising my work, using the simple Blogspot device to start, then moving up to Wordpress, I thank the genius who designed the wysiwyg text editing format!
Just like the boomer nation women, bloggers are always on the move!
My website had to take a back seat while I set up shop, and with advice from each person, I took their tips and began putting to good use, but my first Blog required a title, a name which would reflect me-Freesiafever became the offspring of my website, A Scent Of A Freesia, still sharing similar information on ovarian cancer, but allowing me the space to explore, further expanding my need to talk, encouraging others to follow my lead. That’s what I define a baby boomer as in today’s world, a leader!
We have a wealth of life-experience under our belts, and we also have the skill and knowledge now to take us on greater adventures. The joy of reading a post you can relate to, the fun of hunting down new resources and tools, everything from widgets to feed burners, embedding music and videos, it never ends. I have at last found a place that can carry my voice, and thanks to various Blogs, have set it free! This diva from ‘down under’ has plenty to say, and plenty of Blogs that can meet all requirements.
I continue the ride of my life, meeting new people as I go, collecting new pointers while following links, to even more Blogs.
It’s all about finding what a Blog, can do for you- With work, I have found it a faster tool for hosting, so now Blogging has replaced a website for the music ezine I am affiliated with, it saves us so much more time, less headaches and quicker feedback! So you see, there’s a Blog for every occasion, and if we can do it, so can you!

In Australia, we are quite proud of our 'unique lingo', it's what separates us from the rest of the world, but we love sharing and teaching those not so familiar with it, and thanks to Diva Teri Dempski, I can share the Australian 'slang' with you! Teri has many Australian connections, and after our Queen Diva; Beverly Mahone, had raised a question on one particular word, Diva Teri supplied her with the following link:
http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-sl
Now there is a reason why she took us directly to the 'R' section, but YOU will just have to figure that out! Let's just say, in the U.S.A, there's a word used to show your support for another whereas 'aussies' would say 'barrack'. ie: To barrack for your favourite 'footy' team! So have fun, and don't say you weren't warned!!
And incase you're wondering how the topic arose?? Our 'aussie' Virtual Assitant Founder & Diva; Kathie M Thomas, decided to bring the matter of a particular word's other meaning.........what transpired was nothing short of hilarious as our American divas looked on in dismay!!! Thanks Kathie, we have plenty more where that came from!!
Today has ended lovely~
I started out slightly apprehensive, unaware of the great news which was about to land in my lap!
Many of my readers would know by now, I am part of the Baby Boomer Divas.
And for those who DON'T, well, please get yourself into gear and hightail it over there!

Meanwhile, moving right along.....the host of a Global show in Texas;Women Power Talk Radio, the divine Raven Blair Davis, kindly emailed me to suggest I have a go at something to do with health...what news could I report about Health????? AHA! OVARIAN CANCER!
So, even with a massive electrical storm hanging over our heads here in Sydney, I took the challenge, and dared to beat the odds...it worked! This coming Wednesday, my brief but worthy report will be aired on Raven's radio programme. What a hoot and what another amazing day working alongside the BBD'S!
If you can, be sure to tune in and hear the QUEEN Diva herself, the one and only, Beverly Mahone! Oh and keep your ears open for my very VERY important mesage!
Cheers to all you divinely powerful women everywhere!
