Dr. Gayle Carson, author of "How to Be An S.O.B.—A Spunky Old Broad Who Kicks Butt" is also the founder of Spunky Old Broad month which is happening right now. Dr. Gayle as she likes to be called, started this because she found too many women felt life was over when they hit the age of 50.

Since many of our heroines didn't come into their own until that age, think Eleanor Roosevelt, Grandma Moses, Madame Curie, she believes that the boomer woman is just beginning and has a lot of years to re-invent herself. Gayle herself became a "Legend in the Speaking Profession" at age 69, a best selling author on Amazon at 71 and continues to pursue her interest in exercise, working out 2 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Meryl Streep was just nominated for her sixteenth Oscar. Helen Mirren posed provocatively in her last photo shoot and continues to be a stunner on the Red Carpet. Cher holds her own onstage with singers half her age. Even Diane Sawyer, the new anchor for ABC's nightly news is over 60.

S.O.B.'s must take charge of their life and their future, so Dr. Gayle is issuing a challenge to all of you. Take 10 days out of this month of 28 and make something happen. Enroll in a new class, find a new hobby, try a new restaurant, join a new club, or think of a new business. You may not be a movie star, but you sure are an interesting woman.

And when you find your interesting story, send it to gayle@spunkyoldbroad.com and she'll publish it in her blog.
