Episode 50 A Special Milestone!

When did you mark your last milestone? What was it?

Your milestones are significant events in your life.  While there is no special time for any milestone what is important is, what you are marking something of interest.  It could be the beginning of something new or the ending of something accomplished.

On the Cup of Glo Podcast we celebrate women age 50 and older with a focus on happiness.  We take it further by honoring the beginning of each decade from age 50 to 100 and we’re proud of each decade.  The Feisty 50s Milestone Diva is full of energy, confident, playful, and ready for any adventure!  The Sassy 60s Milestone Diva does her thing without regrets loud and proud!  The Saucy 70s Milestone Diva continues where sassy left off and going strong!  The Exciting 80s Milestone Diva knows that the good days are not over.  She still has a zest for life and is happy to share it!  The Nifty 90s Milestone Diva moves to her heart’s content.  She may be more relaxed, but she has not stopped yet!  The Awesome 100s Milestone Diva can do whatever she pleases.  Anything she does is an inspiration for the rest of us.

Overall, you are a Milestone Diva if you are bold, confident, enthusiastic, and love living life all out!

Another Milestone for the Cup of Glo Podcast is publishing our 50th episode today!

When we launched the show in March 2020, we were hopeful that we would reach 5 episodes.  Look at us now, ten times greater!

We humbly say, “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much for listening.  This day would not have been possible without you.

To all guests who appeared on the Cup of Glo Podcast, in the studio or via SKYPE.  You are appreciated.  Each of you inspire us with the way you serve our community.  Whether it is through your books or your jewelry and crafts or your dancing or the stories you shared, you brought a special element of inspiration that touched the rest of us.  We look forward to your next appearance for more.

We have a special shout-out for the men who joined us to honor the women who impacted their lives and those women who inspired them.

Another shout-out to my family who patiently scheduled Sunday activities in the afternoons to allow me to have free time on Sunday mornings to publish each episode.

Finally, thank you Goldie Sound Productions.  Owner Adrian Dickey and producers Dominic Rollins, Brandon Moore and Barrington “DJ Plae” Fowler.  You are the best!

Instead of a fun or interesting birthday story or trivia, we are reprising our Milestone Diva Cheer for our special milestone episode.  When you feel you need a little boost, in between episodes go ahead and recite the Milestone Diva Cheer to put a smile on your face.

Feisty, Sassy, Saucy are we, Exciting, Nifty, and Awesome you see, 

Every second, minute, or hour, Bold, wise, owning our power!

In tees and jeans or a fancy frock, … Milestone Divas Rock!

Episode 45 Choose Joy with Babs Plunkett

When was the last time you felt joyful? What have you done recently that’s contributed to your happiness?

Babs Plunkett is a passionate advocate for positive aging. To help herself and others live joyfully, she became a Life Coach and Certified Professional Retirement Coach. As the best-selling author of Choose Joy: Three Keys to Investing Your Time in Retirement, she interviewed over 100 people across the country, gaining their inspiration and insights on positive aging.

Babs said, “The original source of my passion for aging well was my crabby grandma who moved in with us when I was 13 years old and her unhappy presence made a lifelong impression on me.”

For the next four decades, Babs studied positive aging and paid attention to people who chose joy. She asked those who were living joyfully if they had always been that way. Were they upbeat as a kid or did they decide to be positive? Babs has indicated that she felt genuine relief to learn we’re not destined to crabbiness. Aging well is a choice. We can choose joy.

Episode 44 Pat Stanford’s Fixing Boo Boo and Proverbs of My Seasons

Pat Stanford was born in Philadelphia. Her farming family moved to Delray Beach, Florida when she was one, looking for year-round growing seasons. She lived there until a brief stint in the Air Force took her to California.

She graduated Florida State University with a B.S.in Secondary Education, which was never used for its intended purpose. She has poetry published in several anthologies and won second place in the 2004 Seven Hills Contest with her short story, Divorce Sale. Her book, Fixing Boo Boo, is a slightly fictionalized account of what happens when a brain-injured sibling comes to live with a sister who doesn’t know what that means.

After being introduced to growing roses by her father, Pat created her own rose garden. She served as President of the local rose society and is a bronze medal recipient with the American Rose Society.

Pat lives in Tallahassee, Florida with her husband and a quirky cat, and is currently working on a follow-up to Fixing Boo Boo as well as a novel set in Mongolia.  Pat has two books of poetry: Proverbs of My Seasons Poetry of Transition and A Motley Miscellany Misfit Poems that Fit Together. You can find all of Pat’s books at Amazon www.amazon.com or Documeant Publishing www.Documeantpublishing.com
