Nana's Lap (Book Review) -

Have you ever known a child that didn’t wiggle…at least a little bit? Wenda the Wacky Wiggler by Christopher Aslan is about a little girl who loves to dance to music, but the town where she lives doesn’t like sounds or dancing! The mayor gets rid of all music. Even birds aren’t allowed to sing, but that still doesn’t stop Wenda because she learns an important lessons: she has the song of her heart inside her!

If you moms or grandmothers know a child that wiggles (and I’m betting you do). This is a great book to share with them.

Now a book for Nana

A few weeks ago a lady emailed me and asked me if I would read her book and review it. Last week I received it in the mail. The title is 70 is the New 40 and it was written by Barbara Penn-Atkins. I looked at the cover and immediately wanted to be friends with the author. She’s a beautiful lady who doesn’t look a day over 50 and she is driving a bright red convertible. I don’t know about you but I don’t know too many 70 year old women who cruise around in convertibles…but why shouldn’t they? (Besides the fact that it’s murder on your hair)

And that’s really the premise of the book. If you want to do something after you retire, why shouldn’t you? If you want to work part -time or start your own business, why shouldn’t you?

Ms. Penn-Atkins is a Certified Retirement Transition Coach, award winning speaker and she conducts workshops that offer insights to retirement readiness, life options and changing careers. For anyone nearing retirement or thinking about “What do I do next?” this book is a great guide and motivator.
