I am so excited to share this news with you all - my first travel essay has just been published! I've been asked to join the talented team of writers at a new online magazine for women- Living Better at 50+.
I will be a regular travel feature writer for this exciting new women's online magazine. My first travel essay is about our trip to the Canadian Rockies. In the essay I share a little bit of history about the Banff National Park as well as my favorite suggestions to enhance your own travels there. (I even offer up suggestions for my favorite low cost souveigner gift to bring home to your friends and family)! You can access the article directly here~~~or just click on the travel section of the magazine here.
This new magazine promises to bring fresh and interesting topics to mature women on such subjects as beauty & fashion, health & fitness, home & food, money & business, relationships, and of course travel. There is also a special section devoted to "Words of Wisdom" - a place to find encouragement for the times when we all need support in our lives.
The magazine is new - first published this February - and already it is becoming widely popular. Their facebook page has well over 800 fans already - we are hoping for a 1000! (you can come and join us if you want - just click the LIKE button on the home page of the magazine - I'd love to see some of my follower's faces there!)
I hope you will take some time to check our this new magazine -Living Better at 50+ - and also my travel feature. If you want to leave a comment for me on the feature website - I would be thrilled and probably blush in 7 colors! (seriously -it would mean the world to me if you have the time to leave a comment!)
I hope you will join me in this exciting new venture~~ (every month I"ll take you someplace new and exciting~~
