No matter what you're dealing with in your life, my new book SANITY SAVERS: Tips for Women to Live A Balanced Life is filled with suggestions to save your sanity every day of the week.

A must for any woman seeking to find her balance!

Pre-order now before its release in February 2007.

In this New Year, whether you're in you're 40's and 50's, the midlife years can be the best time of your life. Many more women are living fuller, healthier lives as they age and you can too.

Going through midlife is first about coming to terms with loss and then allowing for new beginnings. You may miss your younger body, and for better or worse, you'll begin to see your mother in the mirror. And, of course, you need magnifying glasses to read the paper and to tweeze your eyebrows.

Instead of fighting the changes, adjust as you transition through yet another stage in your life. Focus on the wisdom you’ve gathered over the years rather than what gravity does to your body. Shift your attention to the world and how you can contribute based on your experience and goodwill. Let go of fears that creep into the crevice of your soul.

Make a contribution.

The world would be a better place if we did things to help our planet and the people in it. Whether it's saying something simple such as "Thank You" to someone who doesn't expect it or choosing products that are not harmful to the environment, your contribution will matter.

There are all sorts of ways to contribute to your neighbor, your community and your world. Remember you can make a difference, whether big or small.

A great way to start the New Year is to focus on how you can help others. If you are in relatively good physical shape, consider being an organ/tissue donor. You can change someone's life forever.

• Work Through the Decision Process- Making the choice to be an organ donor takes serious thought. Consider how you would feel if you, your spouse, child, parent or sibling needed an organ to stay alive. Imagine what it would be like if you were given the gift of life.
• Discuss With Your Family- They may be the ones to intervene by signing a consent form to permit your organs to be donated. By communicating your donor wishes to your family in person, you will make it clear to them that you wish to be an organ donor should the need arise and that they should cooperate fully to make this a reality.
• Document It – This is done by designating your donor status on your driver’s license. You can also put your intentions in writing. Your Last Will and Testament may not be the document to use for this information, as donating organs in most instances is timely and most Wills are not immediately read at death. Discuss with your attorney if you should draft a special document or if a letter signed by you will suffice as sufficient notice to loved ones. Let your family know that the document exists and of its whereabouts so that everyone is informed.

You have the gift of life should you choose to use it.

One kernel is felt in a hogshead; one drop of water helps to swell the ocean; a spark of fire helps to give light to the world. None are too small, too feeble, too poor to be of service. Think of this and act.
