CALLING ALL SPUNKY OLD BROADS OR ANYONE WHO THINKS THEY ARE ONE
Where did the term Spunky Old Broad come from'Well, there were three of us sitting in the back
of a room making some noise we shouldn't have and
not paying attention to what we should have. As
we were giggling away, I said--"Well, that's
because we just a bunch of S.O.B.'s-Spunky Old
Broads" and the phrase was born.
I must confess that it was a young man who added
the three little words-"who kick butt." And most
of us do. We wear the badge with honor and pride
and are very careful to guide other women (both
young and mature) into the world of over 50 women
who can be and do whatever it is they wish.
How fortunate that I have been able to gather
around me a cadre of women who have accomplished
a great deal, take ownership of their mistakes
and accomplishments and who continue to amaze me
with their perception and wisdom. That is why I
want to invite you to become one of us.
If the word "old" or "broad" offends you, then
you are probably not ready for this group. I
know that several women have said they are
neither, and don't want to be considered that yet.
I truly understand where they are coming from
and appreciate their feelings. However, the
women I know who are part of this movement, are
truly S.O.B.'s in every way, shape and form.
If you feel you have more to accomplish, are not
being recognized or appreciated, and want to
break out of the "old" mold, and know in reality
you are a Spunky Old Broad, then think about the
following.
There is only one you. You are entitled to your
thoughts, opinions and ideas. You know what
makes you tick and feel happy. You can operate
on your own terms and decide who enters your life.
You can wake up each day and decree what steps
you are going to take and how your day will play
out.
You can never be replaced. The things you do may
be performed in a different way by someone else,
but your uniqueness will never be duplicated.
That is why it is so important to be true to your
own ideals, thoughts decisions, idiosyncrasies
and ethics.
You are the best and have the opportunity to make
a dynamic impact on the world. To all of you, I
dedicate this movement and hope you get comfort,
inspiration, applause and reaffirmation from us.
The world is a much better place with you in it!
