This week two of my friends became grandmothers.  One of them is Carine Nadel.  Some of you know her.  She’s a member of the Fabulously 40 community.  The other is author, Vicki M. Taylor.  Both women are members of Boomer Diva Nation—-a group I created where boomer women rock, roll, rule and unite!

As I read the announcements from Carine and Vicki, I could feel the excitement in their spirits!  I could also feel their sense of relief that their little girls had made it through a successful delivery.  That’s because they both lived through nine anxious months and had to cope with their daughter’s health issues.

In September 2006, I went through a similar experience when my daughter gave birth.

So here we all are preparing to lend our support and a little (or maybe ALOT) influence to our new little ones.  We will love them, spoil them and silently hurt when they hurt.

People may look at us and say we‘re too young to be grandmothers.  I, personally, take that as a compliment.  I’m excited to have my health and strength to be able to deal with my grandson as he gets older.  I’m sure Carine and Vicki share my sentiments.

So in this blog I am saluting Carine, Vicki and all of the Fabulous Diva grandmothers out there!  It’s a true blessing indeed!!!
