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!

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 40 Kelly McGrath – The Peace Building Lawyer Among Us

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 21:30 — 50.0MB) | Embed

Subscribe: RSS | More

Kelly McGrath Law is here to help you. Let’s Get You Some Financial Peace!

 If you’re barely able to pay your bills, or if you’re falling behind, you’re not alone and it’s not your fault. The country is going through a crisis and we want you to feel supported.

 You can get out of this financial struggle with help and you do not have to shoulder this alone. Family and friends are often more understanding than you might think!

Talk to those you love and share the burden of your financial stress. And if you’re depressed or thinking of suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. This struggle is temporary and there are places you can go to help with your financial burden.

If the amount you owe has become an overwhelming burden in your life, here’s how filing for bankruptcy gives you a fresh start and lets you breathe again: 

  • Bankruptcy is a legal process that can wipe out or restructure many of your debts.
  • Your current income level determines what kind of bankruptcy you qualify for. Either your unsecured debt is forgiven (Chapter 7 Bankruptcy), or restructured on manageable, low-interest terms (Chapter 13 Bankruptcy).
  • Filing immediately protects assets you depend on such as your home and the vehicle you need.
  • Bankruptcy also protects your wages from being garnished by any credit card companies
  • After bankruptcy is complete, credit for high-ticket necessities can become available as quickly as within 3 months. Mortgages no later than 4 years.

Here’s what you need to know about repossession:

  • The state can legally repossess a vehicle after just ONE delinquent payment.
  • The creditor does NOT have to notify you or take you to court to repossess your vehicle.
  • They can just come get your car anytime if you’re behind on payments, without notice.

Here’s the deal with falling behind on your house payment:

  • A mortgage lender has to file a lawsuit to begin foreclosure.
  • The homeowner will receive a summons if this happens, and they’ll have 20 days to respond before the foreclosure happens.

If you’re struggling to make ends meet, get support – call for a free consultation about your debt

Kelly McGrath, Esq. – (850) 273-8698 – website www.kellymcgrathlaw.com

Or, if you just want to talk to someone about other legal problems and get some advice, call Kelly McGrath, Esq. at (850) 273-8698. Kelly is trained in Nonviolent Communication and will give you compassionate legal counsel focusing on your needs.
