by Marianne Clyde When women find themselves single, by divorce, by death, or by choice, it seems like society feels it needs to step in and "fix" things for her. We need to find her a husband. We need to figure out what went wrong. Or we find ourselves wondering what might be wrong with her. I just want to say, knock it off. It's not that I don't appreciate your concern. But it may be that she...
by Lorna Martinez Magill As we age, it's important to stay active and engaged in social activities. Not only does it keep the mind and body active, but it also provides an opportunity to connect with others and build meaningful relationships. I personally love social activities and find many ways to engage with my friends to help maintain and foster my relationships. Yes, it takes effort,...
Life transitions can be hard so it’s important to surround yourself with positive and supportive people. I discovered this was the case when I had the trifecta of life transitions, I resigned from my job, my youngest son graduated from college and my husband had some major health conditions that caused him to retire earlier than planned. This time ranks as one of the most challenging times of my...
By Marianne Clyde I know what I want. But how can you quantify what 57,000,000 women over 50 want? And that’s just in the United States. I see articles about what women want in a man, about how they want to be treated in the workplace and what they want to wear…but I think it’s impossible to make generalizations on a grand scale.

A couple of weeks ago I was running errands and decided I needed a new wreath for my front door. I was near Target and stopped to look, but no luck so off I went to Home Goods.

I’m sifting through the wreaths, and I get a phone call,...
By Marianne Clyde Several years ago, I took a vacation certification course to qualify to go scuba diving. I remember how frightening it was to put a series of lead weights around my waist and jump into the choppy water. I jumped in, as instructed, but was having trouble with the waves splashing around my face. And the more I thought of the lead weights on the belt around my waist, the more...
By Lisa St. Ledger “We don’t know a lot about autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s,” my endocrinologist explained. “You are on the best treatment available.” Her diagnosis slowly began to sink in through the brain fog. At that moment, extreme fatigue was preventing me from safely driving to my daughter’s evening sporting events. I was also experiencing weight gain, hair...
It has been a heck of a couple of weeks, I obtained second degree burns on my left hand and it hurts like heck! I’ve been keeping busy to avoid thinking about what my hand is going to look like when this is all said and done but there isn’t anything I can do about it right now and I have bigger things to worry about since my skin is literally peeling off!!! Every morning my patient husband rubs...
Originally published in the Conservative Pundit on March 6, 2018 Hey amazing ladies! You are never going to change the world by just sitting down and shutting up.
