FinallyMe!

Today, my dear friend Adrienne and I are rolling out

our new website FinallyMe.com.

As you can see, our target audience is women of substance,

intelligence, wisdom and experience

 who are continually growing and responding with grace

 (at least most of the time)

 to life's challenges and rewards. . . .

in other words YOU.

We're posting articles on relationships

 (marriages, live-ins, friendships, family); 

transitions 

(empty nest, menopause, deaths, divorce, 

caring for parents, having kids come back home, 

mid-life dating, and so on); 

and mind-body-spirit stuff.

We're concentrating on women's passions -- 

like travel, books, films, photography. . .  you name it. 

We're featuring discussions in a column

 called "Speaking Freely" and the first one

 is a humorous article by blogger extraordinaire

 Beth McWilliams of "Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Taken."

Who knows. . . we might even tell the truth

about perimenopause and menopause 

and getting older.

And we're profiling Extraordinary Women. 

I've profiled Mary Surratt for starters, 

but have contacted some EW's that I know

 and asked for their permission 

to introduce them via FinallyMe. 

If you know someone who you think

 is intriguing or who has a fascinating story, 

please steer them in my direction

 or send me an email address

 so I can follow up with them.

I may be asking some of you for permission

 to repost some of your most delightful blog posts. 

And I'll be starting a FinallyMe Flickr group

 so we can share our favorite photos. 

If you choose to share in that group, 

please indicate in the photo's info box

 if you're willing to let us 

borrow your photos to illustrate articles. 

We're doing this out of passion, 

so we can't pay anyone 

but we'll make sure there's a credit

embedded  with the photos in the article body.

If you have something you'd love to contribute -- 

maybe Fascinating Women profiles, 

articles about your passions,

 book reviews or what have you, 

please email me at meri@finallyme.com.
