From the Publisher
We’re not over the hill — we’ve moved the hill back! That bulge in the population that was born between 1946 and l964—the baby boomers—has decided that the 40’s and 50’s aren’t old. For the Midlife Mamas of today, 40 is the new 30, and in your 50’s, you’re just getting started! Instead of rocking on the porch, we’re rocking the world with our entrepreneurial spirit, savvy work style, independent approach to aging and health, and enlightened focus on relationships. Throughout most of human history, most women died by the age of 40, so it’s obvious that we’re blazing a trail through uncharted territory. In the 20th century, our great-grandmothers, grandmothers, and mothers have been the guinea pigs for the new longer lifespan, showing us how to—and how not to—navigate through the additional forty-some years we’ve been given.
Imagine your 40’s as the infancy of your second life.
Life changes quickly in the years between 40 and 60, yet this is when we build the foundation for later years. Midlife Mamas have so many choices, so much pressure, and so many demands competing for their time and energy that we sometimes feel paralyzed by the need to sort out the information flying in our faces at warp speed. How do you lose weight, reduce stress, eat the right foods, lower your blood pressure, raise great kids, have great sex, balance your hormones, advance your career, and prepare for your financial future while keeping all your everyday balls in the air? How can you create a healthy, happy future rather than reacting to random events?

Midlife Mamas on the Moon,
By Julie (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Midlife Mamas on the Moon: Celebrate Great Health, Friendships, Sex, and Money and Launch Your Second Life (Paperback)
What an informative and humorous presentation of Midlife Mamas! Sunny definitely shares her experiences in a witty, positive, and personal way, covering just about every aspect of life. She offers great suggestions and stimulates the reader to action. I appreciate the sections at the end of each chapter--"The Checklist" and "The Checkup from the Neck Up". Sunny has helped define womanhood, the ups and the downs, in a provocative way. This is a MUST READ for all women!

This review is from: Midlife Mamas on the Moon: Celebrate Great Health, Friendships, Sex, and Money and Launch Your Second Life (Paperback)
I picked up this book expecting another dreary tale about how to cope with menopause, but got a lot more than that! I feel energized by the many tips and nuggets found in this book on everything from understanding your husband to motivating yourself to excercise. So many of the articles you rip out of newspapers and magazines are summed up here, and the book is fun to read.
