A Short Interview -Beverly Mahone

The following is a short interview regarding the Baby Boomer Retreat and Beverly Mahone who is the founder of the Baby Boomer DIVA's. This weekend, April 18 to 20th, she will be hosting the Spring Retreat to be held in Daytona Beach, Florida. Beverly is a well known radio talk show host and blogger. You may have heard her on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/passions

Kathryn: Beverly, when did you get started in Communications and did you take classes in college to help? When did you start interviewing people?

Beverly: My favorite subject in school was always English and I always had the gift of gab according to my mother. I knew “way back when” that I would make a living through my writing and public speaking. And over the years, that dream turned into a reality. From the moment I entered Ohio University, I was on the journalism track and I've continued to move forward ever since. I stated interviewing fellow classmates when I was in junior high school as a reporter for my school newspaper.

Kathryn: What got you started with the idea of a Baby Boomer Retreat anyway?

Beverly: I wanted a way for members of Boomer Diva Nation to connect with each other and fellow women who are on the move and making a difference.

Kathryn: If you had this to do all over again, what would you do differently in preparing for the Retreat in Daytona?

Beverly: I would have a FULL STAFF! I would've also considered starting in an area closer to my home state because it was quite a challenge trying to plan an event hundreds of miles away when I really didn't have any contacts there.

Yesterday the blog tour was at Terri’s blog at http://www.roadtodiva.blogspot.com/
And tomorrow the blog tour will end at Betty’s blog at http://www.mycountrykitchen.com/

Beverly has been very busy getting ready for the retreat and all the Baby Boomer DIVA's are excited to be a part of the fun time we'll be having in Daytona Beach, Fl.

THE 1982 DENVER BLIZZARD

This story is about the trip we took to see my mom at Christmas, 1982. She lived in Evans, Colorado and we lived in Page, Arizona. We had decided to take our four sons in our Dodge van not knowing what the weather had in store. We packed several bags, blankets, water and our cosmetic case for what we though was a two or three day vacation. We were supposed to be at my mom’s house Christmas Eve. We left Page and drove toward Kayenta, Arizona and onto New Mexico. We started toward Raton and hit a huge snow storm. Just outside of Raton, the winds were severe. Our engine died just outside of town. With ropes my husband tied himself to the front of the van and checked the motor. He said the guys that serviced our car didn’t put the lid back right and the carburetor, situated in the center of the air filter, was iced up. So we poured through our cosmetic bag and found some men’s cologne. We both knew that alcohol would deice the carburetor. The van started up and we pushed forward. It was s

NOT SO KEEN HALLOWEEN

Halloween is not really a holiday It’s more like our countries malady. It gives credit to witches and devils. Too much that’s sinister and evil. Take a look at its very beginning Are you afraid you’d be sinning? To bring to light Satan’s one desire but he will end up in hell’s hot fire. God says to love only Him above all the idols, the orange décor in the hall. It gives Him no glory can’t you see? Wearing masks won’t set you free. Satan calls this day his sacred one, telling children to play and have fun, to dress like his demons and death for fear of losing their very breath. Why does America make such a fuss over witches and skeleton’s ugliness, to make it a bigger day than Easter? It should bring us shame each year. So what should Christians try to do? The Truth has set us free. Has He you? Celebrate Jesus. He gave us salvation. Lift Him up, not our true enemy Satan. Whatever you decide on this dark night, glorify God in the earth, in men’s sight. We are not of this world. God is
