My Review

I am not 50. I am not nearly close to 50. BUT, that does not mean I did not enjoy this book. I think this book is great for anyone regardless of age.

I am of the belief that our story can change at any time. We can choose to wake up and start a new chapter. It is never to late to go after what we want, stop living the way we are living, and try a different direction.

The book is aimed at an older generation, but the message in the book was one that fit ever so clearly with me. Just the first few pages told me that this was going to be a great book and the fact that it was geared towards older women was not going to impact my opinion.

I immediately connect with the author’s story, first and foremost. We had a lot in common and maybe that is why I was so drawn into the book; but I strongly believe that this book is great for anyone who is sitting there and pondering “what’s next”, “now what”?

The book uses real life examples, but the author provides tips and discussion and exercises to move forward – to move through the “now what”.

I strongly urge you that if you feel you are “stuck”, pick up this book and see if it helps you with what comes next.

About the Author

Dianna is a shining example of how to get the most out of life as a “seasoned” woman. At a time when most of us look to relax in front of the TV, she is out in our Alberta communities creating a dynasty! And in her “spare time,” she turns her time and talents to family and friends, graphic design, painting, biking, cross-country skiing and fulfilling a host of volunteer commitments. Though Dianna is now a successful entrepreneur and inspiration to many, she had to overcome many barriers to get there. Raised by grandparents in a dysfunctional family, Dianna was shy and lacking in self-confidence as a child and young adult. She married at 20, but tragically her new husband was killed in a explosion within a year. She remarried a few years later and was blessed with two children who are the light of her life. But the marriage was rocky and further eroded Dianna’s self-esteem. A serious health problem (tumour on her vertebrae) in her 40s brought things to a head and the marriage ended. Rather than wallow in despair, Bowes decided to take control of her life. She recreated herself into the woman she always wanted to be by focusing on personal development and coaching. When her 50th birthday was approaching, she started Fabulous@50 (a community for seasoned woman) and has never looked back. Now confident and poised, Bowes is dedicated to helping other women through their life changes and challenges. Bowes has won numerous awards for her work: a 2014 Leader of Tomorrow Award from Business in Edmonton, 2011 YWCA Woman of Distinction Award (Turning Point category) The 2014 New York Stevie Awards in two categories: Women Helping Women (Bronze) and Best Event (Gold). 2015 New York Stevie Award – Top Canadian Entrepreneur (Bronze).
