We are women who are wise beyond our years, or maybe in spite of them. We have dragged big dustpans behind us through life (along with other baggage), and have gathered up much of what was to be learned on the long and winding road.

Only one of us is on the south side of 50 and barely, so there won't be a lot of talk here about raising kids or looking cute. There will be absolutely no fat babble or make-up tips either. We are all happy with ourselves the way we are and want to stay that way (happy).

We have the same passions as people everywhere who have reached the age of thoughtfulness: to create and live a life uncommon, to share what we have learned and will learn, to laugh as much as possible, to speak our truths - for better or for worse, and to give back in appreciation for all we have been given.

We know a lot of you are like us, and we would like to get to know you better.

So we welcome you to our ongoing conversation and to the adventure of this venture.

JESSICA WESOLEK
...lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico with three Siberian Huskies, two cats, and a husband of indeterminate breed (handsome, though).

She is an artist, photographer and teacher, who owns Cre8it.com, a popular art website that has been around for the past eight years. That's old in internet terms.

She thought this blog-site would be a good idea and told some friends who thought so too.

CASSIE SCHINDLER
...lives in San Mateo, California with one Lab, one husband, and an empty nest to which her two grown birdies keep returning for some reason.

She owns The Alternate Path.com, a website which promotes good living through making good choices for yourself.

She is Jessica's sister and they have shared a lot of adventures over the years - some they are willing to talk about, and others - not so much.

But, they know this adventure will be one to be talked about.

VIVIAN SWIFT
...lives in Long Island, New York with a number of cats, but she is evasive about how many exactly. Her husband knows, but he is not telling either.

After traveling the world for much of her life, Vivian decided to settle down in a small village. and create an illustrated "travel journal" of her life there. Her book is called "When Wanderers Cease to Roam" and it can be found at bookstores everywhere.

She is currently working on her second book - about France.

We really appreciate her "voice" and her wonderful illustrations.

Jessica and Vivian are responsible for all the watercolor illustration on the Wisdom Woman blogs.

NANCY SCHILLER
...lives in Annapolis, Maryland, with one cat and one husband. She has two daughters who have grown up and moved too far away in Nancy's opinion.

She owned an antigue shop in St. Louis for many years, is a Life Coach and profesional organizer. She is interested in almost everything there is to be interested in.

Nancy loves adventure and that is good because it is never far behind her. On a recent sojourn to Santa Fe, she taught the locals a thing or two about where to go and what to do.

We hope she comes back soon.

SUE KLOESS
...lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with two cats.

She has spent her worklife as a corporate art director (no, she is not Corporate Candy) and is currently enthralled by precious metal clay.

Sue owns a website called Experiart.com through which she sells unusual creative art supplies.

She is the one who planted the seed for Wisdom Woman.com, but she is very quiet online so you won't hear much from her. She is a great researcher, though, and will be the person who actually discovers a lot of the things we talk about here.

And, Sue is Technical Tizzie's go-to person for PC questions too.

CORPORATE CANDY
...we can't tell you much about Candy except that she dated Dilbert for awhile because they had so much in common.

We have to keep her location and identity a secret because she is writing undercover - and wants to keep her job - for now.

SO NOW THAT YOU'VE MET EVERYONE,
...let's go ahead and spend some quality time together . . .
