From Cathy Guballa (PDI Columnist)If you enjoy watching The Starter Wife on the Hallmark Channel every Sunday evening at 9:30 PM, I invite you to join this fun trivia and essay contest brought to you by the Hallmark Channel and Powerbooks.
Midlife, the years between the ages of 35 to 55 is such an exciting period in any woman's life. There are many changes in our bodies, emotions, careers and personal life. Molly Kagan, portrayed by Emmy award-winning actress Debra Messing, shows us how a woman in her 40s re-invents her life after an unexpected divorce from her Hollywood husband ends her into a momentary tailspin. If you, like Molly, have experienced some-life changing events and managed to re-invent yourself, we would like to hear from you. Please see below our contest mechanics for both our mini-essay contest and our weekly trivia contest that starts on October 29, 2007. Great prizes that every mid-lifer wouldl certainly enjoy are up for grabs. PLUS if you win the essay contest, your essay and your photo will be featured here in this blog and in select newspapers and magazines.
Watch The Starter Wife weekly to join our weekly trivia contest and/or share with us your mid-life joys and triumphs via our essay contest. I look forward to hearing from you!
