I believe that when the world is falling apart, we're just one laugh away from putting it together again.Ever since I was little, I've had this outlook on life. As a little girl I would read newspaper articles out loud to my family and friends, incorporating them into the stories, making them laugh. By the time I was in junior high, I was creating plots and characters of my own. And I have been a prolific writer ever since.I blog frequently for In The Powder Room, The Huffington Post, Better After 50, Boomeon, HumorOutcasts and various other sites. and Generation Fabulous. I am proud to be named a 2013 BlogHer Voice of the Year. To learn more about me, visit my blog www.theboomerrants.com and my website www.JanieEmaus.com.
