The NABBW
announces entering YOUR Age of Elegance
Writing Contest – Deadline May 31st
The National Association of Baby Boomer
Women (www.NABBW.com)
and
www.BoomerWomenSpeak.com,
has opened entries to all baby boomer women
for a new writing contest; “Entering
YOUR Age of Elegance.”
This contest offers women an opportunity to
write their personal stories about entering
midlife and beyond
According to author
Chloe Jon Paul
who wrote, Entering the Age of Elegance - A
Rite of Passage & Practical Guide for the
Modern Maturing Woman, this second adulthood
reaches us around age forty and if this
“rite of passage” isn't done with style and
grace, we can become disoriented and lose
our way.
Dotsie Bregel, founder and CEO
of the
National Association of Baby Boomer Women,
says, “With age comes wisdom, and that
wisdom is carried over into midlife.
"We
want to encourage baby boomers everywhere to
enter this contest and share their journey.
"By doing so, we can read first hand how
other women are learning new life skills and
better ways to cope and to embrace the
changes going on around us, and to us.
"Many baby boomers are discovering who they
really are for the first time in their
lives!”
Bregel continues with, “By entering this
contest and telling us what the
Age of Elegance
means to you, we believe our mission of
educating, empowering, and enlightening baby
boomer women will be held strong.
"In
this contest, women are asked to tell us;
what does the
Age of Elegance mean to you at this time in your life? Does it mean
fulfillment? Exploration? Discovery?
Rebirth? Reinvention? Where has this midlife
journey taken you?
"We've already discovered what an exciting time this
is in our lives … now we are offering women
the opportunity to write about it; to expand
upon their journey and to share it with
others.”
Bregel expects the NABBW contest to stir up
a wide range of emotions and anticipates
receiving entries from baby boomers from one
end of the spectrum to the other.
All boomer-age (born 1946-1964) women are invited to
submit their essay to Dotsie Bregel at
contest@nabbw.com,
with Age of Elegance in the subject line.
Entries must be 500 words or less, in a WORD
document, and emailed as an attachment by
the May 31, 2009 deadline.
"Contestants
should include the author’s name, email
address and short bio (75 words or less) at
the top of the attached Word document – and
not in the body of the email.
The winner of the
Age of Elegance
contest will receive
$100
and a
free membership
(or free renewal of their membership) in the
National Association of Baby Boomer Women.
Additionally, the winning story will appear
in the “Our
Voices”
section at
BoomerWomenSpeak,
an affiliate Web site of the NABBW.
