Boomers Booming: How to Thrive After Sixty Five and Have Good Sex

Book that offers Boomers and succeeding generations, a fresh, positive perspecpective on living life after sixty. Praise for “Boomers Booming” Frances Reaves gives shape and form to a time of life often made invisible in contemporary culture, and she does so with wit and charm. Boomers Booming is packed with moving accounts of lives lived fully and motivation on how to do this for oneself. A great read for all ages! Avni Doshi, Author of Burnt Sugar, shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2020 This is one of the most positive, informative, and stimulating books to hit the market for Boomers and Gen-Xers. Frances Reaves validates what these generational groups have to offer society—wisdom, creativity, and resiliency—and makes all generational groups, including Octogenarians like me, want to grab hold of opportunities before us to embrace life “our way fully.” No fake stuff in this book! With grace, humor, and relevance, Frances Reaves draws on research and personal experiences to tell it like it is. She offers insight and includes real-life examples of how it can be for the “old guard” -- through to the 2-minute warning of life! Plus, she directly confronts sex in old age with specific ideas and titillating humor, making it a helpful and enjoyable read from start to finish! Nathalie Akin Bartle, EdD Author of Venus in Blue Jeans Frances, author of her first book "Boomers Booming: How to Thrive After Sixty Five and Have Good Sex" is set for release on October 8, 2024. She was born in Belem, Brazil and spent her youth traveling with her family to Libya, The Philippines, Colombia, Argentina, Peru and Singapore, where she graduated from High School. After receiving her degree from Texas Christian University, she moved to New Orleans, Louisiana and worked as Director of International Marketing for the Louisiana World Exposition. That once-in-a-lifetime experience encouraged her to move to Miami and pursue a law degree from University of Miami. She is fluent in Spanish and has a working knowledge of Portuguese. In 2014 Frances began working with elders and their children who were facing life-changing decisions with no knowledge of what is available to them. She started HF Reaves, Esq. PLLC, d/b/ a Parent Your Parents and does Estate and Medicaid Planning as well as Elder Advocacy. She is the go-to attorney when you have no where to turn. She writes twice monthly columns for the Miami Community News and The Islander News. She has a monthly video blog devoted to Elders. She has interviewed Laurie Jennings, Lois Pope (80+ year old triathalon and biathalon champion) and Emerson Fittipaldi to name a few of her luminary guests. At seventy-three and six-foot, two-inches, hips swinging in her bodycon Armani dress, she walks across the tile floor, heels clicking. Ahhh, it’s good to be tall! She meets people’s eyes, smiles demurely, looks down, then repeats. Mmmm, so delicious having the eyes of all follow you across the restaurant. She sits down, scans the room, and picks up the menu. Mimosa, maybe? At seventy-three, with her black, elastic-waisted pants and “I love Grandma” tee shirt on, she walk/runs across the tile floor trying to keep up with her grandkids. Thank goodness she has on sensible shoes! Everyone looks up to see what the noise is about. Of course, the minute the kids sit, silence ensues as they begin to text or play video games. But first, the menu and the battle of ordering for tweens and teens. She wouldn’t have it any other way. Yep, that’s the dream! Would you prefer to wear those heels or the sensible shoes; the Armani or the elastic-waisted pants? The choices are yours and there are no wrong answers. What’s important is that you dismiss phrases like “over the hill” and words like “senior” from your vocabulary. Yes, we’re older but, as the adage says, the finest wines tend to be aged wines.
