STRATEGIES & TIPS FOR WOMEN OVER 50 IN TODAY’S JOB MARKET
What Is the Major Issue that Is Holding You back?
How Can You Get Your Resume Noticed?
How Can You Best Sell Yourself in an Interview?
Mary Eileen Williams and I did a 10-part series on the lessons in my book “FIFTY IS THE NEW FIFTY.” Now, it is my turn to ask the questions. I will be interviewing Mary Eileen about her new book: “LAND THE JOB YOU LOVE:10 Surefire …

Summer Reading is still at the top of our list of things to do now….

APRIL AND OLIVER by Tess Callahan is on my list. The story of two people who grew up like brother and sister and what happens when they are drawn back together after a family tragedy. The writing is beautiful and insightful; the characters are complex and surprising; and the plot is not what you think.

10-Part Summer Radio Series with Eileen Williams – Feisty Side of Fifty
June 2010 — “Age is NOT a disease! Women like being 50, 60 and 70. We don’t want to go back to Thirty – it was too stressful,” say, Suzanne Braun Levine, author of 50 IS THE NEW FIFTY and Eileen Williams, the founder of the FEISTY SIDE OF FIFTY blog and radio show. The two experts on women’s lives are partnering on a 10-part blog radio series based on the life lessons in Levine’s book.
“The lessons are guidelines,” …

Circle of Trust Summer Favorites!
Why do we read more in the summer?
Maybe because we take long trips that are conducive to long reads. Maybe because we lie in the sun (for short stretches) and the shade for hours. One thing I know: this is the season when we recommend a wider range of books to each other and we read them with the special joy that “summer reading” adds to the prospect of settling in with a friend’s favorites.
I recently read Desert Queen …

YOUNGER WOMEN ARE LOOKING AHEAD!

A young staff member at Plume (my paperback publisher) interviewed me for two new videos to celebrate the paperback publication of “50 Is the New Fifty.” Because the interviewer was a young woman, I was reminded (again) of how important it is for women in second adulthood to be seen in our culture – to be visible and happy. We are each other’s horizontal role models. And, just as important, we are paving the way for younger women.

Younger …

Tito (short for Gatito, little cat) is the newest addition to our household. My daughter found him in an alley in Buenos Aires, where she has been living for the past two years. He was a half-starved kitten, infested with fleas. She took him in, dealt with the fleas, and now he is a feisty – and very long – fellow.
When she moved back from Argentina last month, Tito came with her. He didn’t enjoy the 16-hour plane ride, but he took over our apartment as soon as he …

Toronto, Canada
When I decided to sign up for the Weekend to End Women’s Cancers 60K two-day event in Toronto, I knew I would have to train. I hadn’t done very much about exercise in a long time. I had not been motivated. I thought all my little aches would just get bigger/worse. My damaged discs would rebel. I was wrong.
Two things happened that made me change my outlook. First, I decided that at 65 I had to do the walk to honor my mother who had died …

New Book Proclaims ‘50 Is the New Fifty’
VIVMag, says: “Frankly, we’re a little tired of hearing people say things like ‘30 is the new 20’ and ‘40 is the new 30.’ So we love the title of Suzanne Braun Levine’s new book: “50 Is the New Fifty.” The first editor of Ms. magazine, Levine is no stranger to inviting a discussion on women and aging… she delivers 10 life lessons for women who are in their “second adulthood” with wisdom, honesty and humor…”
