Music
I love all types of music. It depends on my mood. If I'm reflecting, I like classical because it is soothing to my spirit. I've always been a fan of country music because of my dad. He loved Charley Pride and as I got older I began to appreciate the music more and more. Give me some Luther Vandross and Barry White, with soft candlelight and my husband and IT'S ON!!!

Mama Said There'd be Days Like This! (2007)

WHATEVER! A Baby Boomer's Journey Into Middle Age (2006)
"Whatever! A Baby Boomer's Journey Into Middle Age" is an inspirational and humorous look at growing older. The book started as a journal because I thought I was having some kind of mental breakdown. I wanted to record my thoughts while I was still of "sound mind." (LOL)

I was relieved to discover I was in the early stages of menopause--because that meant I wasn't going crazy---wouldn't need prozac---and menopause has become a great excuse for everything that ails me or pisses me off! :)

About Beverly Mahone
Who am I? First and foremost, I am a woman who loves God! I am a wife, mother, grandmother, veteran journalist, motivational speaker and author. My debut non-fiction book is called, "Whatever! A Baby Boomer's Journey Into Middle Age." It is an inspirational and humorous look at growing older.

My favorite scripture in the Bible is Philipians 4:4-8

My motto as I grow older: I'm still Hot...It just comes in Flashes now!"

Peace & Blessings,
Beverly

SEND THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS <3

Never take someone for granted
Hold every person close to your heart
Because you might wake up one day
And realize that you've lost a diamond
While you were too busy collecting stones

Hello Diva Beverly,

I just wanted to say "Thank you" so very much for the "Fabulous" Diva Web of Fame Baby Boomer GirlFriend Retreat in Daytona Beach this past weekend ! I know you worked very hard putting this "Sensational" Event together ! It was such a Blessing meeting everyone that we had corresponded thru the Web & E-Mail with over the past months. I am looking forward to attending more Diva Events as our Schedule permits. My Agent is adding things everyday to the "The Memories" Web page. I can't wait to see it when it is all complete with the photos of our Event ! Thank you for including me in the Events of the three days - It was Awesome ! I am so glad to have you as a Diva "Friend & Sister" ! I look forward to talking to you soon.

Blessings Always in HIM...
