A Paragon (intentionally capitalized), is a person or thing viewed as a model of excellence.  It is a person or thing regarded as a perfect example of a particular quality.  That is exactly what we are ladies!  We are perfect.  We are unique.  We have lived our lives and are so much better for it.  But even Paragons in their perfection know that life will always serve up challenges.  It is for this reason that I have begun this blog.

Like most of you, for me the web had certainly become a place where I go to for information.  My discovery and research sessions lead to a realization that there is a “white space”  of sorts, when it comes to women in their 40s, 50s and beyond.  Sure you can visit a site to get information on how to care for aging parents, and another to get information on how to transition into an empty nester when the kids go off to college, but there was not one place that addressed all of our concerns.  We, as Paragons, are entering into the busiest, most dynamic time in our lives.  We are, in fact, caring for our aging parents, sending our children off to college and graduate school.  Some may be getting ready to attend their children’s weddings or even their grandchildren’s 1st birthday.  We are also facing decisions at work.  After having invested 20+ years in our careers, do we take it next level? Is there guilt involved in making this decision?, or perhaps, having raised your children the last 20 years,  are now facing a decision on what to do with the next 20 years.  We are faced with a myriad of important decisions all the while going through some REAL physical, hormonal and many times spiritual changes.

Ladies, we are PARAGONS.  There is no group on this planet, that I am more proud to be a part of.  We are strong, sexy, smart and so very gracious.  This blog is meant to be a celebration of women in our peer group.  It is my hope that we can build a community of sharing while exchanging really great/quality information.  It is a community of Paragons (not Cougars, or MILFs or Unicorns) that understand each other and the many real and important issues we are facing.  Welcome to Paragon Problems!

With Love,

Lady Paragon
