I knew, the first moment I met her in person that Beverly Mahone was a force to be reckoned with. There was absotively no question. I’d already gotten involved with her Boomer Diva Nation group but when I walked into the auditorium in Baltimore where the book signing was being held, one of which we were both a part, who was the first person to really greet me and genuinely engage with me, one-on-one? Our own Bev Mahone, of course. Ever since that initial in-person connection, I’ve been literally amazed with this woman. I do believe if you look up the term “powerhouse” in any dictionary, anywhere, you’re going to find Bev’s picture. No further explanation is required.
From just an idea, a dream of what could be, Beverly Mahone has built Boomer Diva Nation into a thriving, inspiring, and undoubtedly beneficial organization to better the lives of those of us “of a certain age” who are forging forward into middle years and beyond, with excitement, verve, and a belief that every single day can be better than the next. Many say age is nothing but a number. I don’t agree. I think age is, as Debbie Barth, a fellow member of Three Wise Girls pronounced this morning, “a badge of experience.” And what good is experience if we don’t try to use ours to better the lives of every individual whose paths we cross?
Beverly has done, and continues to do, exactly that. The woman must never sleep. She has more ideas than anyone I’ve ever met . . . ideas, mind you, that she actually implements. No astroturf grows under this woman’s feet! You can be almost certain that if a possibility crosses her mind that can be turned into a positive reality for her Boomer Diva Nation group—Bev is not going to let that option get away from her. She’s direct, to-the-point, and a true businesswoman . . . a businesswoman with heart and soul who's had many experiences and wants to share whatever she can to help wherever and whenever she can.
So for any of you who’ve ever had a dream—I hope you’ll be listening in to the Three Wise Girl’s debut show, live, on Thursday, October 1, 2009 at noon. Let Beverly Mahone share with you how it’s never impossible to fulfill that dream . . . and oh-so-much more.

I so agree with you about Beverly! Although I haven't had the pleasure of meeting with her personally, I've interacted with her by email, over the phone, and even interviewed her myself on Feisty Side of Fifty Radio. Her energy and spirit are inspirational and she's dedicated her life to helping others however she can. Her dream is big and her heart is even bigger!
ReplyDeleteWe are definitely blessed to have Beverly on our very first show! Imagine that! And Eileen, you took the words out of my mouth. She is "all that..."and then some" as our beloved Heidi Richards would say.
ReplyDeleteEileen, more info on your show. please!

My mother used to say, "Give me my flowers while I'm still alive because they will be of no use to me when I'm dead." With that said, I want to thank you Linda and Eileen for your kind words and I'm glad to be alive to read them :)
ReplyDeleteAbout 20 years ago when one of my girlfriends would introduce me she would always say "This is Beverly--the best way to describe her is "straight--no chaser!" That HASN'T changed but I have become a little softer and more gentler as I attempt to fulfill my life's purpose--which is really about helping others.
We're excited to have you on the premier Three Wise Girls show to do exactly that, Bev. Indeed, "straight--no chaser!" is perfect to describe you. In fact, Debbie, Dori, & I were talking exactly that today on our Power Call, complimenting you on your own show last evening--even though you & Debbie didn't always agree ... the show was smooth, entertaining, w/just the right amout of giddyup--strong women w/strong POVs, & a BIG dose of respect & affection thrown in as the cornerstone.
ReplyDeleteWe can't wait, Bev!
