I never noticed before that "networking" has negative connotations whereas "social networking" doesn't. Networking is kinder now that it is social. I don't like it when I feel someone is "networking" with me just so I can help their business. You make a good point about social networking being about “quality” sharing. This is so true!

But I also love the fact that we, at Boomer Diva Nation, take our networking to another level when we connect every year for a Diva Weekend. Meeting a sister you've been networking with online is the ultimate and makes our bond that much tighter. I enjoy online networking for the same reasons you’ve expressed.

I'm from the 'old school', which means, I'm very careful about who I allow in my spirit. But, that didn't happen over night. I remember a time when all I wanted to do was have lots of girlfriends to laugh with, have slumber parties with, and to be that listening ear for. However, I quickly learned not everyone of them wanted the same, some were catty, gossipy and envious. Mom use to tell me that not everyone you choose as a friend is really your friend -- well needless to say, it took a minute for me to get that but, when I did, I began removing them one by one. I don't say this to make it sound as though, "I'm all that and a bag of chips", I have my quirks just like everyone else however, friendship is earned, it's precious and in my opinion, a gift. There are just some things about us as Women, when we hurt, we vent -- it's cleansing and although we may not always say the right things at that moment, we want someone to care enough to 'listen,' right? ;-) I can honestly say I have 3 friends who really listen and tell me what time it is, whether I wanted to hear it or not ~ and vice versa (not to mention my siblings who do it REALLY well, LOL!) Those are unconditional friendships ~ our gifts per se. Speak to my heart, Sharon! I’m from the ‘old school’, which means, I’m very careful about who I allow in my spirit.

There are few friends that I have that can pull me out of a "woe is me" situation. When they say those three words "get over it" I know they're seeing something I'm not because I trust them to be looking out for my best interest. Thanks for the compliment! Coming from you it means an awful lot. Bev - I hear you! There are few friends that I have that can pull me out of a “woe is me” situation.

Like you said, they can help you through the tough times--they know your history and have been there and done that with you. I recall when I was going through my divorce I called my girlfriend during one of my pity parties and she flat out told me to get over it because he wasn't worth no tears. She hurt my feelings because I wanted her sympathy. But I later realized she gave me just what I needed it when I needed it. That's what TRUE friends are for. By the way, I absolutely love your writing!

You clarify how your thinking about retirement has changed over time. Your example is a good one for those of us who have not considered what retirement means in modern times. For so many of us baby boomers this is becoming a great awakening. Becoming a baby boomer entrepreneur is something that must be planned in order to be successful.
