Required Bio

Renee’s entire life has been formed by her naturally curly hair and her having topograpanosia, a real disorder of the frontal lobe that results in a complete inability to orient herself in space, as well as an inability to remember people’s names. Because of this disorder, she gets lost a lot.  If you see her wandering around anywhere, don’t call anyone.  Just get her ice cream.  That will calm her down.  For the hair, there’s not much you can do.

She is, indeed, a former hula hoop champion, as well as the co-author of two books for women over 50 (www.invisiblenomore.com.) Both the Pulitzer and Nobel Prize Committees continue to ignore her achievements.

  1. Perhaps all the hoola-hooping resulted in the inability to orient herself in space. It’s my first time here – laughed out loud at the I-phone apps post. Glad I found you. Although I can’t remember how I did – perhaps I have blogograpanosia. And maybe I should use that doctor app to determine if I do.

    • Hey, welcome to Life in the Boomer Lane, and thanks. Yes, most of my brain cells are normally occupied by thoughts of ice cream and/or chocolate. It simplifies life quite a bit.

  9. I enjoy your sense of humor. Your V-day blog drove me to your “required bio,” and I thought, what a great way to put it. I have a hard time with the biography’s. Maybe one day I’ll get one down. Thanks for the laughs. *Smile*

  10. I absolutely love your blog! I’m flying to New Orleans on Saturday and my boyfriend has been telling me to find a book for the flight and I’m excited I stumbled across your blog to find your books. I ordered Invisible No More and I can’t wait to order Saving the Best for Last. Will that be available on Kindle eventually as well? Thanks for the laughs and I look forward to reading more posts! :-)

    • Wow, thanks, Mona, I’m honored. Saving the Best for Last includes the entire text of Invisible No More, plus adds new chapters and has exerices at the end of each chapter. We advise people not to get both. Since you have already ordered the first one, read that, and if you’d like to see the expanded version, I’ll send you one. Let me know and give me your mailing address. I’ll even personalize it. The first is supposed to be going on Kindle. Then, I suppose the second will follow.

      • I finished reading Invisible No More and I LOVED it! I’m normally not one to use caps throughout an entire word, but I felt it was necessary in this case! The book was hysterical, eye-opening, and inspirational all at the same time. I, too, am not the best with anatomy, but if I happen to experience what you experienced, at least I will now somewhat know what is going on! Where can your other books be purchased? I find myself checking your blog daily to get my fix of your writing, so purchasing other books probably isn’t a bad idea.

        • Wow, thanks so much for your comments! Invisible No more and Saving the Best for Last are the two books I’ve written with my two friends. But don’t buy Saving the Best for Last, unless you want to spend the money to read the three new chapters we added and see all the discussion questions. The only book I’ve written myself is a novel, King of the Gypsies, which can be ordered on Amazon.
