Mission: To INSPIRE, EDUCATE and EMPOWER the baby boomer woman! Be Fabulous! was designed specifically to be an event magazine to be presented to our guests at the Annual Fabulous@50 Experience and Martini Party. But something magical happened! Dianna Bowes took a look around and realized there was nothing in our community that was discussing the needs of the seasoned woman. Be Fabulous!, much like the Fabulous@50 tradeshows, seminars, the meetup group and the Fabulous@50 on-line membership, filled a gap. Since 2010, Be Fabulous! has spotlighted inspirational women on it’s cover and covered topics that mid-age women want to read about.
On the Cover: Tammy DuChene-Bos Be Fabulous! is published by Creative On The Move.

NO GENDER GAP with Investments but Women Invest Differently Do you earn as much as your male counterparts? You do with investments. They don’t care what gender you are. So it is time to get actively involved with managing your finances. Based on my years of experience, I want to debunk the myth that women are afraid of finances. According to a Boston Consulting Group (BCG) study, women use money as a means to an end, not the end in itself so they approach money management differently. They take less investment risks, but do better in the long-term. Why is there a lower percentage of women involved in their own financial planning than men? In the same survey noted-above, BCG came to the conclusion that women lacked confidence about dealing with money, probably because of socialization. In my experience, I believe women want more information before making such an important decision. Financial planning is a major life decision and you need to have your say. Whether you are single or in a couple, take part in establishing and maintaining the strategic plan specifically designed for your desired retirement lifestyle. Your financial advisor should know what is important to you– I know that is key when I am working with my clients. Let your investment strategy reflect your values. For example, responsible investing puts your money in companies that meet environmental, social and gover-

I worked hard for mine and will for yours. I take special care to make sure my clients and attendees at my seminars thoroughly understand the concepts we are talking about. From being a single mother of two while going to school and working part-time, to the demands of a professional career, I know what it is like to be challenged with time.

My Journey to Finding Holistic Body Love...part 3
10 Ideas to Develop a Happy & Healthy Relationship with Yourself 1. Breathe into a positive intention every morning. Before you get up from bed, take deep breaths to take in a positive intention to start your day from an empowering mindset. For example, “I can show gratitude for whatever comes my way today”. Keep this intention at the forefront through your day. 2. Check in with yourself. Every three hours, ask yourself “On a scale 1-5, 1=no stress, 5= extreme stress) where am I? Take 5-10 deep breathes to shift gears, relax your mind and body no matter your number, and take a break if you’re at a 3 or higher (e.g., go for a walk outside, listen to music). 3. Work on having compassion for your
inner critic. We all have an inner critic! Notice how much self-talk is positive vs. negative. Catch yourself when you engage in negative self-talk and interrupt it by saying “Be kind to myself”. 4. Renew your relationships with others. List the people in your life that drain your energy- this is not a judgment about them, rather it is a recognition that the dynamics of these relationships may no longer be a fit for you. Then decide to either work on changing the dynamics in these relationships or find a way to end these relationships respectfully. Create a new normal by surrounding yourself with people who are positive, uplifting, and believe in you. Their energy is contagious.
6 • Be Fabulous! e_Magazine I www.fabulousat50.com I July • 2016
5. Allow yourself to be imperfect. There is no such thing as perfect and always on the other side of perfectionism is self-abuse. Learn to let go and laugh at yourself. 6. Slow down. Choose one to two activities in your day to be present with, whether that’s eating a meal slowly and mindfully, take your time to walk/drive to your next destination (instead of rushing). Slow your thinking down and be in the moment with whatever you are doing. Just because we live in a fast pace society, does not mean we always have to mirror it. 7. Engage in play time. Playing is not just for kids! Color in a coloring book, draw something, finger paint (these are great de-stressors, by the way), build a sand/ rock castle, or play a board game. Play catalyzes our pleasure response. 8. Feel into your feelings, no matter how uncomfortable they are. Acknowledge your feelings and honor them by engaging in self-care activities that will help those feelings shift. Journal your negative feelings and journal the positive shifts too!
9. Have a daily relaxation ritual. Many of us feel vulnerable to engage in emotionally driven eating or mindless eating at some point in our day. Replace this with a relaxation ritual. So instead of grabbing for food to soothe yourself when you’re not really hungry, try making yourself a cup of tea, going for a walk or reading a book instead. 10. Nourish your body. Feed your body with foods that give you sustaining energy. Move your body in ways that bring pleasure, and get enough sleep. Rosalyn Fung is a Registered Psychologist & Founder of Holistic Body Love.

Maturity & Sex
I spent four Sundays in a row talking to young ladies spending time in Juvenile Detention through the Lighthouse program. Lighthouse is a short-term, intensive residential program for 12 to 17 year olds. The focus of the program is on stabilization, therapeutic support and strong, interactive guidance. I was there to offer guidance. While talking about sex, some of the ladies couldn’t stop giggling at words like masturbation and condoms. Some of them moved from staring at me blankly to telling me about their experiences openly and with genuine candor. Most of them had had sex. For some it was a choice, for some it was giving into pressure because everyone else was doing it. There was one 15-year-old who had been using sex with older men to get things she wanted. There was a 17-year-old who had decided she wasn’t ready yet to have sex and that
she wanted to wait until she was in the right relationship before becoming sexually active. I asked all of them to complete evaluations at the end of our time together. One young woman wrote, “I really enjoyed talking about sex... You’ve made something that’s really uncomfortable to most, comfortable. I really enjoyed this because I really don’t have a lot of people that I can talk to. So it’s a little hard for me to get information when the information I get is basically what girls learn out on the streets. I really want to thank you for everything we as a group talked about.” Maturity is an important part of any sexual ethic. We mature at different rates. Rather than setting an arbitrary age of consent, it is more important that we bring a level of spiritual and emotional maturity to our sexual decision making.
8 • Be Fabulous! e_Magazine I www.fabulousat50.com I July • 2016
Too often we think of maturity as something that simply comes with age. But many of us are well into adulthood before we even come close to being mature. That’s because true maturity requires a healthy sense of self-identity. That means we know who we are and we like who that person is.
eventual hurt and rejection. It’s also true that we are more than we think we are. When we begin our sexual relationships with a healthy sense of self-identity, we can learn even more about ourselves as we make ourselves vulnerable and open ourselves up to the ecstasies of sexual union.

We all have times of doubt when we question who we are. When people are trying to figure out who they are, they often think that having sex will answer a lot of their questions and resolve their confusion. Many people think that if they have sex they will feel grown up and mature. But sex will not answer our questions. Sex can even keep us from working through deeper issues by offering a distraction. Instead of continuing to focus on our self and our path of inner discovery, we can find ourselves consumed with thinking about someone else and focusing on their needs instead of our own. We will not find ourselves in sex. Likewise, self-acceptance always has to come from within. When we rely on someone, such as a sexual partner, to make us feel good about ourselves, we are setting ourselves up for

KEEP WALKING There are a lot of activities especially tailor-made for summertime but for me, nothing is more fun (inexpensive, doable) than going on a walking adventure.
p Weather
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve taken the same route around my house but no two trips are the same since many things can vary: weather, season, light, nature, critters, and walking companions. Makes for some great stories!
p Family
I know you’ve heard about the benefits of walking before so I won’t tell you again that it’s brain-fog lifting, heart-strengthening, hot-flash busting, and good-attitude enhancing; you’ve probably been told how the happiness factor can kick in along with a feeling of endless possibilities, right? I am guessing that some of you do have a physical limitation but I ask those of you who are able-bodied, what stops you from making tracks? Check off all that apply: p Weather p Fatigue p Wednesday morning rush-to-the-office p Sunday afternoons
p Nothing to wear p Monday evening commitments p Weather p [Insert your reason(s) here] Yes, weather can be a real factor some days but not all! Dress for it and you’ll be fine. Family? Bring them along so everyone can benefit from a mood and energy lift. I implore you to get honest with your schedule to see where you will fit in a walk. It’s summer. Longer light-filled evenings and warmer temperatures are perfect to get that habit formed. I suggest you plan to go every day so that the excuses don’t creep in. And if you miss a day, oh well, there’s tomorrow. But make it tomorrow then so you keep on walking... right into next season. Watering the Wilted
Your body will ask you for some water when you’re back. To add some interest to your water, you can have that squeeze of lemon or what about basil with strawberries, lime with blueberries, or cherries with mint?
10 • Be Fabulous! e_Magazine I www.fabulousat50.com I July • 2016
Steep at room temperature – avoid ice cold water that can shock the body. Of course if you’re going a fair distance and the weather is especially warm, you may want to carry some water with you but if you’re already sufficiently hydrated before heading out, you can free up your hands to really get those arms working for you / swinging in motion for an overall better workout. Bush Chick
I encourage you to find a nature trail, park path, or green space to really grab some extra health-supporting action. If you can do this every time you walk, wonderful, but for some of us it may be only doable say once per week. During the walk consider the senses to capture all that is about you to really get into the moment: Sight - Take pictures if you like of some key sights but leave the selfies for the parties and family gatherings. Let the scene be your picture, capturing it in your memory. Stoop down to examine the little parts too. Something right at ground level could be your story of the day. Sounds – Can you detect a familiar bird call? Any buzzing, or leaves rustling. Really take in the moment. Sure, if you’re with a buddy it’s nice to chat here and there but especially when in natural areas, consider unplugging and untalking (couldn’t resist making up this word) to hear even the silence. Aroma – Smell can trigger all kinds of wonderful feelings: deeply inhale when in those natural areas to fill the lungs with a bath of fresh air. Exhale all of the stale air too. And if there are roses, you know what you need to do. Touch – While in a green space consider making it a habit to caress or pat the shrubbery around you. Only if it is safe to do so – and if you’re comfortable – you
may want to take off your footwear and stroll bare foot for a distance to connect body to earth. This is referred to as earthing. Many report huge wellbeing benefits when regularly incorporating this practice. More Value
No matter what time of day you choose to put walking into your calendar, the ripple effects of this free activity will continue into your night by encouraging a better sleep. Ah. Oh and don’t forget you may witness an improvement in mood, energy, and physical toning and strength. Now we’re talking. So will I see you on the trails this summer? I’d love to hear about your stories that come from the experience so feel free to connect. Maybe you can be my next walking buddy. Keep walking!

Ten Myths about Boomer Women Women in the boomer generation today range in age from 51 to 69. Many women approaching their 50th birthdays wonder, as I did, about what life would be like. I, for one, wanted to see it as doors opening, not closing. It turns out I’m not alone! I meet new women every day who want to look, feel, and be fabulous after 50.
FACT: With STDs increasing among boomers and seniors because of unprotected sex, it stands to reason that the desire for sex has not diminished. Partly because the fear of pregnancy is gone, women report more satisfying sex lives than ever before.
What then is standing in our way? The challenge starts with the myths that often surround menopausal women. Let’s blast those with some truths. Common Myths
FACT: Boomer women are entering colleges and universities in record numbers – to learn to become entrepreneurs, to upgrade skills, or simply to learn new things.
1.Once you’re over 50, it’s too late to start something new.
5. Memory loss is inevitable as we get older.
FACT: According to a recent Gallup study, people over 50 comprise the fastestgrowing group of entrepreneurs. Women are leading this trend.
FACT: Research has shown that memory loss has more to do with vitamin and mineral deficiencies than aging.
2. Brain power starts to erode as people age.
4. The older you get, the harder it is to learn anything new.
6. As we age, we become more rigid in our thinking and acting.
FACT: Frank Moffatt, author of Your Second 50 talks about how our brains can not only re-train but can grow neurons – at any age.
FACT: According to the National Association of Baby Boomer Women, women over 50 become more adaptable because of increased levels of mental, emotional, & physical maturity.
3. Women over 50 lose their desire for sex.
7. Dementia is a normal part of aging.
14 • Be Fabulous! e_Magazine I www.fabulousat50.com I July • 2016
FACT: At Alzheimer.ca, they state categorically, “Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias are not a part of normal aging.” While everyone has some memory loss around 65 or so, it is not dementia. 8. I’m past 50 – my life is over. FACT: Ask Betty White who is in her 90’s or Jane Fonda if their lives are over. Most women over 50 feel that their lives are just beginning – again! 9. Once you’re over 50, there’s nothing to look forward to. FACT: With empty nests and control of a significant amount of wealth, Boomer women are travelling the world, learning second languages, and working for worthy causes. That’s only the tip of what there is to look forward to! 10. Over 50, a woman’s health is on the decline. FACT: The Journal of the American Geriatric Society says it is inactivity not aging that causes health concerns and mobility issues. In their desire to slow aging, boomer women are flocking to the gym in record numbers. I’ve said for years that Boomer women rock. The more I meet, the more I know this to be true. Dianna Bowes is the founder of Fabulous@50 and the creative director of Be Fabulous! Magazine. In 2008 Dianna recognized that baby boomer women were missing something: the opportunity to connect, have fun, learn and be inspired, so she took the bull by the horns and created a community dedicated to supporting women who are in the transition of mid-age.

Back at the Market It’s farmer’s market season and that gives me all kinds of ideas! I absolutely love visiting the different markets to see what they are offering, and to take my loot home with me to do some serious eating, canning, and cooking.
taste comes from fresh food, because I know that the strawberries from my local grower, that I am eating one day after they are picked, taste much better than those that had to be shipped 2500 kilometres and took two weeks to get to my plate.
Have you noticed that there are fewer farmers set up with signs that say “certified organic” than you might expect? I asked about this recently and discovered that the “business” involved in certifying as organic, is really very expensive. It means farmers must choose between certification or channeling money into their own operation so that you have access to the best food possible.
To make things more complicated, lots of growers are using advanced technology including hydroponic and aquaponic operations, where their produce is growing in water. This allows for efficient growing year round, and eliminates the damage that can be done by bad weather, bug infestations, or pesky rabbits. You can’t certify something as organic unless it’s grown in dirt, and because these innovative and efficient growers are growing in water, they don’t even qualify even though they aren’t using chemical pesticides. If you are looking for a “certified organic” label you may drive right past the farmer’s market and head to a supermarket for something that is certified and yet has no taste at all.
The definition of an organic vegetable is that it was grown without synthetic pesticides. While I am happy to not be eating pesticides (duh), organic doesn’t necessarily mean that a food is more nutritious, although people swear it also tastes better. Personally I think the improved
18 • Be Fabulous! e_Magazine I www.fabulousat50.com I July • 2016
So, what’s a food lover to do? Talk to the farmer, that’s what. In many cases our farmer’s market produce is more nutritious and safer than what we grow in our back yards, especially if you or your neighbours are fertilizing your lawns, shrubs, trees, and flowers with chemical treatments that drift into your vegetable and fruit patches. I don’t hesitate to speak to my local farmers and ask them questions about their operation and the food I’m bringing home. I can even invite myself to go visit their farms and have a look around to see what kind of innovative science is going on, and I love being able to do that. If you’d like to see your local farmers, a quick internet search will help you find your local “open farm days,” a regional open house where visitors are welcome to explore, ask questions, and enjoy a day on the farm. This year, Alberta’s Open Farm Days are August 20 and 21, Atlantic Canada is September 18, and you’ll see more dates and participating farms announced throughout the summer. I shop the farmer’s markets for my favourite foods in part because I want to spend my time preparing and playing with my food (I do a lot of canning) which doesn’t leave me time for the art of growing and tending. I also like the farmer’s markets
because I can get things there I can’t even grow – like an amazing array of heirloom tomatoes, colourful purple carrots, orange tomatoes, and more. Have you ever seen Brussel Sprouts on a stalk? Coolest thing ever! If you haven’t been yet, visit a farmer’s market and just check out what’s there. Bring some food home that you haven’t tried before, as well as your favourites, and #EatInspired!

{LIFE IS JUST A PHASE}
Living a
GOLD medal life
Once every four years the Olympic games capture our attention. Whether you are a sports fan or not, there’s something about dramatic competition, Cinderella stories and the pursuit of excellence that makes us stop and tune in to events of all kinds. Maybe it’s our appreciation of the dedication and focus required by these athletes to compete on the world stage. Maybe it’s those moments of watching the seemingly impossible unfold. Maybe it’s the knowledge that these individuals are fully engaged in being the best they can be. citius altius fortius
The Olympic motto citius altius fortius – higher faster stronger – sets the standard for participating in the games and serves as a benchmark for performance. That’s what Olympic athletes are trying to do – reach higher, move faster, be stronger. Imagine if you were in training for a gold medal life.
How would your life change if you played like every day really counted? Having a set of guiding principles helps athletes prioritize and focus their choices. Maybe you are not training for an athletic event but you can apply these Olympic standards to your life. Set the bar higher
Mediocrity is a cultural comfort zone. Most people are content in doing just enough to get by. It’s often a result of a life that feels overwhelming. We lose sight of what is really important and make choices based on the path of least resistance. Life gets really busy and “just ok” seems good enough. It’s easy to not require too much of ourselves. In the end we get the life we settle for. If you’re not leading your best life, it’s time to raise the bar for yourself. If you’ve been content with average, reach for above average. If life is good, go for great.

“Mediocrity is a cultural comfort zone. Most people are content in doing just enough to get by. It’s often a result of a life that feels overwhelming.‘ Pause and consider:
Where do you need to require more of yourself? In what ways do you let important things slide? Get to your goals faster Do you find yourself saying, “I’ll get to that someday”? Procrastination will never get us to the finish line. We’ve all got our favorite excuses about why we can’t tackle a project, fulfill a dream or take things to the next level. Here’s the hard truth: The clock is going to run out on your life. None of us happen to know when that might be. Making the most of our time is golden. Once today is done we can’t get it back so make choices that leave you feeling satisfied at the end of it. Pause and consider:
What have you been putting off for way too long? How do you let excuses get in the way of your success? Be stronger in facing your fears
why people don’t go after the things they want: fear of failure – or success, fear of what other people will think, fear of stepping out of their comfort zones. At the end of your life you’ll likely regret the things that you choose not to do out of fear rather than most of the things you did end up doing. Once you decide to take action, fear is not such a formidable opponent. Pause and consider:
Where do you let fear become an obstacle to your success? If fear wasn’t a factor, what would you take on? The Olympics only happen once every four years. In life, the games are always on. You get to decide how you want to participate. Your gold medal life is waiting for you. Simply summon up your inner athlete and go get it.

Tammy DuChene-Bos (founder of Babes on Bikes) and some of the members of Babes on Bikes show their excitement about their passion for riding.
Babes on Bikes, supporting community and having fun with casual summer riding Babes on Bikes is located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and was founded by local female rider Tammy DuChene-Bos in 2007. Proud to be celebrating our 8th summer, offering several different riding options and experiences for the female riders in the Edmonton and surrounding area. In the summer of 2007 we came together to form Babes on Bikes. We participate in different weekend charity events, Babes and friends bike tours, The Toy Run in September and so much more. Every season the club seems to get more awareness.
With the growth of the club we are able to offer more rides and you the ladies get to meet more amazing women who also ride. Babes on Bikes is a casual riding club. With set days of riding, different events posted and volunteer events that we volunteer to work. It is up to you the rider how much you participate whether that be every week or once a season. For more information on this group, go to www.babesonbikesedmonton.com/

Tammy DuChene-Bos:
Tammy’s BE TRUE TO YOURSELF Favorites What would you consider to be your top three talents/skills? I would say my top three would be my organization, compassion for people, and my constant drive to succeed. All three of these are applied to both my personal and professional lifestyles. In what ways do you prefer to give back?I started Babes on Bikes 8 years ago as a not for profit ladies motorcycle club. I have never taken any pay from the club and yet take care of all details, from rides, to events, to website and social media. What would you like to share with younger women about “being beautiful”?I know the saying is beauty is skin deep but, as you grow older you gain insight on what and who are truly important in your life. Both of these should complement your life to make you feel safe, and secure within yourself. Beauty is portrayed by confidence not by how much make-up or the clothes you wear but how you present yourself. Be true to you and what you believe in!

{TEA WITH SUE} Muttart Conservatory in Edmonton, Alberta
Fun in Your Own Back Yard As much as I love to travel to new and exciting places, it’s just as much fun being a tourist in my own back yard, especially in the summer. It’s great when visitors come to stay, because when I tour my favorite places, I get to re-experience the sights and sounds of beautiful Edmonton, Alberta – my home town.
Lately I’ve been spending as much time as I can with a dear friend who is soon to be moving to Armstrong, BC. While her sweetie is occupied with his mom on Sundays, she and I start our day with a deep water aqua size class at the Millwoods Recreation Centre. The instructor puts us through our paces and finishes the class with a joke of the day.
24 • Be Fabulous! e_Magazine I www.fabulousat50.com I July • 2016
After class, if there’s a good film at the vintage Princess Theatre, we’ll head down to Whyte Avenue. The ticket prices are reasonable, and the popcorn is great. It’s always a trip down memory lane for me when we sit in the balcony because I get to reminisce about time spent there as a teenager. (If I recall, there was necking involved.) If the movies don’t attract us, we scout for other things to do. You can find Farmers Markets in most corners of the city. I love to wander down the aisles and chat with the eager creators and sellers of everything from hand-made pyrogies to glassblown jewelry. One visitor brought his exotic cat on a leash that trotted happily amidst the crowd and allowed us to pet him. Now that was a conversation-starter! Have you visited the Muttart Conservatory recently? From the outside, the nest of glass pyramids is always an entrancing sight. Even more wonders await inside. There are four themed pyramids to tour and a lovely little restaurant for foot-weary visitors ready for tea. Oh, and did I mention the wonders of the gift shop stocked with delightful treasures? We had missed the hydrangea display in the feature pyramid by just a week, but the Martha Washington geraniums brought out the cameras. It was a gorgeous June day, with the sun beaming through the glass overhead. How I
marveled at the artful arrangement of the delicate blooms – a cornucopia of color. Saucy, hand-painted umbrellas hung from the rafters in a playful array. Pyramid energy is particularly restful, especially when you’re also surrounded by unusual plants. Most are from far off destinations that wouldn’t normally survive our winters. The arid pyramid is one of my favorites, with all the succulents and the many varieties of spiny cacti. Two young boys on the path gave us a chuckle as we watched them draw back their fingers in surprise and pain - look, but don’t touch! After a bracing cup of tea in the outside garden, we drove slowly through the surrounding neighborhood that’s being re-vitalized, one house at a time. Every so often, I’d pull over when a particular architectural feature caught our attention. It was a day to remember, especially on the cold, wintry nights to come. But for now, there are all kinds of summer fun activities ahead. We have plans to enjoy it all. I hope you have as much summer fun as I will!

Victoria, B.C. From Annie: July 2nd officially marked the day I said my goodbyes to Victoria. You see, I have been working on a dream, one that has been alive in me since a six month, life changing trip to Italy and Ireland in 2011. Ever since that experience, I have been searching for a way to go back again. In 2013 when I was diagnosed with incurable cancer, it seemed like such a cruel twist of fate. How could Life cut me down at the knees just when I was on the threshold of a dream? But the dream was so strong that I found a way to transform an impossible situation into my Passport To Life. I daily visualized my cancer journey as an exciting trip to Italy. Within less than 6 months, I was completely cancer FREE. Which leads me to why I am stepping down as the Victoria Director for Fabulous@50. When I became a Director in 2014, I thought it was the stepping stone to my dreams. In a way it truly was. With the help of Dianna Bowes, I established the community in Victoria and tried to keep it vibrant and alive, especially when I travelled to Bali, Cambodia and Thailand last fall to write my book.
That was the reason I partnered with Georgina Erickson to host a trade show called The Fabulous@50 Experience in Victoria this June. Again, Life had other plans. Sadly, my mother passed away when I returned from my travels in February. I found I no longer had the drive or the zeal to host a trade show. I needed to grieve. I needed to heal. Instead, I started to concentrate on my book. It is with sadness that I say goodbye as the Director for Fabulous@50 in Victoria. I am grateful to Dianna Bowes and for all of the Fabulous@50 women in Victoria for cheering me on and supporting my events. Now it is time for another more capable than I to inspire, educate and empower this wonderful community of women and take it where it needs to go. In the meantime, I am travelling to the places that bring me joy. I’m finally making my way to Italy and Ireland this fall. Stay tuned. The Adventure continues. Fabulously Yours, Annie Pool
From Dianna:_________________________________________________________ We wish Annie the best in her new adventure and on her book. I was blessed to have met Annie and work with her within Fabulous@50 for the last year and a half.
