Where do you stand on the issue of midlife love?  I read an excerpt from an interview with Diane Keaton that will be in the November 2009 issue of MORE Magazine.
Keaton, was the star of Something’s Gotta Give. In the movie she fell in love with two men – a younger suitor played by Keanu Reeves and a suitor of her own age played by Jack Nicholson. Did you see that movie?  I’m sorry, but there’s no way in this world that I’d give up Keanu Reeves for Jack Nicholson, so I found that part of the story hard to …read more

While doing a bit of reading today, I found a link to Catherine Larose’s Cafe Girl Chronicles blog, by way of an excerpt at the More magazine website. More magazine is aimed at the 40+ age female. I can remember when 40 seemed sort of old to me, then Cher got there and it didn’t seem so old anymore. How could 40 be old when it meant she was able to dress in basically ass-baring outfits on-stage and she lived with a much younger man (they called him “the bagel boy” in the press)?

I love MORE magazine and I read it regularly. It’s a magazine for women who are 40+, but it’s not an “old lady” publication. These gals are chic, well-traveled, well-read, and apparently have pretty good jobs, because the clothes are a bit on the pricey side.
There’s an article at More.com that tells you, “How Not To Act Old With a Younger Man.”  It was written by humorist Pamela Redmond Satran, author of the book, “How Not To Act Old.”  My man is older than me (by about 10 months), but I figure acting a bit younger can’t hurt, right? 
Here’s a …read more

Within the last month I have seen article after article on what has been referred to as “a generation gap” in the work place, notably in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and More Magazine.
As Baby Boomers and generations X and Y continue to inhabit and compete for the same positions, promotions and benefits in the work force — we now have a diversity stew that is becoming very difficult to manage. The grumbling about salaries, flex time, dress codes, parents’ rights and a whole myriad of ideologies is loud and getting louder:
The authors of Generations At Work cite …read more

Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to to. Where’s there’s love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong. — Ella Fitzgerald.
I almost missed the above quote, as I was turning pages in the May issue of More Magazine. I’m glad I turned back to read it and contemplate. If I’d only known and understood this concept 20 years ago, when I began working, I could have saved myself a lot of self-hating, sleepless nights.
