My Gorgeous Children 

Mothering four gorgeous children--all of whom are very talented and gifted, of course, has been a joy, most days.  And, being an anal retentive person, it is not a surprise that their birth order is girl-boy-girl-boy. 

Writings Always Leaked Out

Always. As a kid, my favorites to write too were my grams and my aunt Ruby, who was like another gram to me. They used to say my destiny was to grow up to be a writer because my writing was so humorous.  My classmates thought it was to be a comedian.  Guess that's where Emily Browne comes in.

Well, at the young age of...well, let's just say at a young age, after three different careers, my voice was found again in the pen, well...keyboard.

Before that, for years, had a daily date with my prayer journal each night before retiring--guess the writing had to leak out some where.

PreCursers to Living Life...Boomer Style

Entrepreneurialism runs in my family background and started with me at the age of ten or eleven-years-old. Selling night crawlers to the resort fishermen, cleaning cabins for the resort next door, babysitting for resort customers, picking rock, bailing hay...that was life in the country.

My first career was in the beauty industry with four salons under my belt.  It was a great time--my clients were incredible.  They were funny, smart, talented, incredible women and men. 

Upon my move to California, my parents started a nutritional marketing company with me.  We had a great time doing it.

Then, a car accident pretty much immobilized me for several months.

Photography Started Out as a Real B---h 

For one of the electives decided a photography class would be fun. It was a b---h getting through it.  Had no clue how technical it was.  Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.  It wasn't until the last week of the semester that my work actually looked okay, well...a tiny bit.  Not one to give up, decided to take the summer photography class to gain on the small skill acquired.  It wasn't long and my major changed from Interior Design to Professional Photography and Journalism.

Getting behind the camera makes everything melt away.  Hours pass with no idea of the time.  It is the same with writing for me, too.  And, it is a natural high finishing a story. 

This passion and love is how Living Life...Boomer Style Magazine came to be.  

Embraces the Incredible Gifts of Life

The magazine embodies all the incredible things life offers the baby boomer's of the world.  Also, to give voice to people and a safe place where your opinion can be shared. 

It shows the good in humankind as well as humor, grace, inspirations and goodwill.  And, in doing so, hopefully inspires insights or good laughs, empowering someone's day to be a better with a good laugh or an interesting person or antidote.  

As for the team of Living Life...Boomer Style, they are loved as my extended family. They are an incredible group of people.

Creative, a Master and a Jarhead

Daniel Whitney is a contributor to Living Life...Boomer Style in several different areas.  He has photographed for the magazine (Sylvia Browne photographs), gives opinions for articles and models for photographs.  The modeling thing goes against his grain--what we do for love.  He enjoys travel and sponsors many of the trips for the travel section.  He aslo assists me (Dawn Bonner) on many of my sojourns for the magazine.

California Native and Jarhead

Whitney is a native of Vallejo, California and except for a few years has stayed in the Bay Area.  He was stationed in San Diego when he was in the Marines and he tried unsuccessfully to make his home in Montana--too darned cold and too much snow for his liking.

Talented with his Hands

He is a talented cabinet maker and creates incredible china cabinets, built-ins and book cases.  His work is of the old world.  When he builds pieces--the clients  get family heirlooms that will be passed on down through the generations.

Opinionated is Good

He is opinionated and not afraid to voice his opinions either.  And, he especially loves to shake that finger when he is making his opinion perfectly clear, which makes him great fun for a writer.
