General Interests
I am a writer and I love to write.
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)
A wonderful collection of stories from writers across the country who had mamas who were never short on giving advice! Some of the classics include: Don't judge a book by its cover; Keep your dress down and your panties up!; If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas and MORE

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 was published in 2006 and became an Amazon Best Seller in 2007. It's 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

Hi Everyone,

I'm sending this Important Comment to all my ShoutLife! Friends. I have missed all of you! And I apologize for the absence, but it could not be helped. I want to thank all of you who persisted in visiting my ShoutLife ! Page and leaving comments for me. I certainly do appreciate it ! And I Love You All ! I'm Back ! Finally!

We have had a serious time with losing a Mother Board, and three Hard Drives in our Computer System, which has cost us dearly not only financially, but with the loss of of over two years of Information, Graphics, Files, Folders and E-Mail. We do not know what the problem was other than a Factory default with the new computer we had. We have had to buy another computer and get it all set up for our Business. The new one we had, has been sent back for repairs and we expect to have it back within another week. Once that one comes back, we will send our original computer back in to the Repair Center for a new Mother Board and Hard Drive!

We have bought new software to be able to get into the Hard Drives should they deceide to go again. Once we get the other computer back from the Repair Center, that will make us three computers again, plus we have an External Hard Drive that we are saving everything on now. And once we get the original computer back, we will use that one for storage as well.

I am looking forward to conversing with everyone again - it has been too long an absence.
Blessings to All...
