“Just as the younger woman has places to go, we also have a place to go to with online friends and learn.” ~ Karen Thomason, on VN’s Facebook wall

“I’m new here and boy am I glad I found Vibrant Nation! I finally feel normal, I now know I’m not the only one flapping around doing the things I do… It just makes me smile to know I am in the same boat as so many other 50+ women.” ~ Anonymous

“First of all, welcome to the wonderful world of VN! I’ve been around since inception, and I can tell you that you’ve found a wonderful online group of girlfriends here.” ~ Seawriter

“I’m loving everyone’s posts. Some inspiring stuff! Looking at the grit,’ ‘owning our age,’ not allowing our culture to dismiss us after a certain age. I love VN! So appreciate our collective wisdom.”  ~ Chris

“As with most things in life, very intelligent people can disagree. It’s the brilliant ones who find common ground and make progress… I find myself listening more and more to other grown-up women because, as another VN member pointed out, we often share a perspective lacking elsewhere.” ~ Kitty O’Keefe

“One VNer summed it up, with thanks for the suggestions and wisdom presented to her as a result of a simple post. It is life affirming to share something of value with another. Therein lies my addiction to this site. It takes our collective experiences and decisions and consolidates it into wisdom.” ~ thricedivorced

“The amazing intelligence and thoughtful responses here  have made this a meaningful topic for me. Forget men! (Well, for a moment.) We could fix all the problems in the world with this small group of Vibrant Women here!” ~ GingerTX

“What a brave bunch we are. Cheers! Honored to be in the company of such strong women.” ~ Blanche55

“Thank you ladies…I love reading all your input and it’s wonderful to know people do care about others. Thank you and be well!” ~ Rooo

“I’m trying to find a balance so that my days off are not spent trying to squeeze so much in. Like you, I am content to hang out with myself and explore things I enjoy. Sometimes I get bouts of loneliness and I’ve been getting better at handling them. Knowing there are wonderful ladies like you here to chat with makes a big difference.” Flower Bear

“Found VN last night and I hope to meet people and have interesting discussions. I’m excited to be able to post in a forum and NOT have to preface with ‘I’m old’ and that my perspective is probably quite different from the young career people or people with young families!” ~ Dennie

“Hello Vibrant Nation. I have to say I was pleased to complete the VN shopping survey but I had some doubts if your offering of a winner with a gift certificate would be ‘real.’ Thank you ever-so-much for being real! I appreciate your e-magazine AND this ‘gift’ for completing your survey. I do enjoy your e-magazine as it is full of GREAT ideas for us older ladies to help with the next 50 years of life! All the best, Leslie (recipient of the VN Shopping Survey $50 Amazon gift card, via email)

“Stick around this site – there is much to learn!” ~  Evie

“I just finished a book highly recommended on this site, and was not disappointed. I can always count on this site for good recommendations.” ~ frizzylee

Thank you so much for that great response, it really helped me tremendously. What I love about this forum is the help and guidance we get from women our own age. In matters of the heart I still feel like a teenager.  ~ Laura

“I feel like I am sitting around my living room in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine and several of my best girlfriends!” ~ IrishEyes

What a great compliment to the women here at Vibrant Nation. Where’s the virtual fireplace? I’ll bring the wine, you bring the cheese. LOL.” ~ Vonnie

“I have been away from VN for awhile, due to a busy schedule, and I’ve really missed this ‘sisterhood’! Threads, like this one, are a fine example of how women reach out to help one another, generously offering their advice and heartfelt wisdom. We may not have all the answers, but the support and understanding is just amazing!” ~ Evie

“Amen Evie, amen. So many questions and so few people to discuss the situation with. Glad this forum is here for us.” ~ Catscrazy

“Thanks again for all of the great advice you gave after my initial posts. I really love this community of women.” ~ GingerTX

“All of these posts are so touching, I feel like I want to sit down with a cup of coffee (or wine!) and talk to each one of you!!! Oh, how strong we ladies are!”  ~ Evie

“I so appreciate Vibrant Nation. It is a venue for my validation.”
~ Michele Paynter

“The past few months were a roller coaster of crazy emotions for me. It was good that I found this site and the many posts have helped me pull myself together. I am healing slowly but surely. PS There is nothing wrong with you.” ~ NanaP

“You have lots of caring and advice-giving women here on VN. We’ll be here to support you.” ~ Vonnie

“In this journey of learning to write articles that people can actually find, VN will always be my first stop. My article is in 4th place on the 1st page of Google, thanks to Vibrant Nation.”  ~  Crystal King

“I love VN, so many lovely women here, with so many beautiful stories. Cheers to all!” ~ CarolMarlene

“Thank you again for hearing me. I sincerely do not feel alone in this moment. In fact, I feel a little bit of euphoria, like a burden has been lifted.”  ~ GingerTX

“100% agree that VN is the best web site. I do not know where I would be without it. I have learned a lot here. Example: A few weeks ago someone has made a posting on sexual toys and its importance in our lives. OK, I prefer the live thing, but if it’s not there than it is not there; period. Bottom line, help is on its way. We can get it via Internet!”  ~ Anonymous

“I just joined VN today on the recommendation of a friend and have been loving the personal stories! Especially those about major changes. I can relate to seeking new places, new careers, new friends …and totally creating a new life. Go for it!” ~ Connie Pace-Life Coach

“Ladies, we’ve got a wonderful group of 50+ here. Though my beliefs collide sometimes with other ideas, I thank God for you, a virtual community of supporters and thinkers, living life as best we know how. God bless and keep you; I often learn and find encouragement from you as a woman in ministry.” ~ rosemariek, Christian female pastor

“I am 59 years old and am recently divorced. The majority of the time I feel like a stranger in a strange land. I so much need all you girls and your input and am thankful I found this website!” ~  PeggyF

“I love Vibrant Nation! What a wonderful, supportive group of women visit here!” ~ Karen

“I thought I was the only one who felt this way…I’m so glad to know I’m not alone! I wish all of you lived near me so we could get together!! You all sound like you would be wonderful friends!!”  ~ CarolynM
