Alice can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Having been sent on an errand by the rabbit she drinks from an unmarked bottle and grows to a giant size. A size so large she can’t get out of the room or the house. The rabbit comes home to discover he can’t get into his room. After trying several times he asks for help. All the animals come to help the rabbit and finally they throw small pebbles/cakes into the room. Curious Alice eats the cakes until she shrinks enough to escape.
I like Alice can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Being a boomer woman my trouble happens with my self talk. When I’m talking positive and affirming I can see myself growing large, 
making plans and following through. My plans are unfolding nicely when something comes along that looks and smells delicious so I take a bite out of it. Even though it was delicious, it was not in alignment with my plans. So do I ask for help like the rabbit or like a shrinking Alice, I have the choice to run away, discard my plans, and see what else is available.
Boomer women the beauty of Alice in Wonderland is that no matter what you choose, you can always make another choice. Choice is always available, seeing the choices allow boomer women to ask for help, change in a minute, stick with something and/or embrace new and exciting adventures daily. To embrace the idea that boomer women have the power to create your life just the way you desire and dream about simply by being open to and utilizing the power of choice is empowering.
Today boomer women, whatever issues arise, ask yourself, what choices do I have available to me right now. Then choose the one that ‘fits’ in that moment. Being empowered boomer women lifts the burden of having to be ‘right’ because you know you can always choose something different.
It’s often confusing as to which choice to make, because we either want it all, or we are fearful of making the wrong choice.
I have never seen Alice in Wonderland. I think I need to watch it, because we have a wedding reception to do that is an Alice in Wonderland fairytale land theme. It will be fun to do!

Hi Pam,
So true! Making a decision and going for it can be fearful. Just remember that you always have a choice so if you need to change you can.
Thanks bunches for reading my post.
You are so right! The older I get, the more I realize that I truly do have choices and one of the biggest choices I have is how I respond to situations. Be they positive or challenging, it is up to me how I react and what I do to follow-through.
We can make downturns and disappointments a motivating force if we choose to. And we can take triumphs and have them spur us on to greater heights. So, yes, much of what we create for ourselves in life does boil down to choices. Great post!

Hi Eileen,
Isn’t it amazing how getting older doesn’t diminish the opportunity to choose. Choices now are different but still there; waiting for us to decide. I like the idea of using downturns and disappointments as a motivating force!
Thanks for reading my post.
We do have the ability to choose. That’s probably one of the most valuable lessons we learn along this journey called life and perhaps, the one that we most easily forget. Whenever I veer off into something that might be good, but not best, i tend to beat myself up too long before I realize . . . I can make a different choice! It’s starting to take less time than it used to 🙂
Hi Debra,
So true! Isn’t it liberating to know that you’re not stuck and choices are always available.
