Many of us baby boomers have managed to gain a measure of true independence at this phase of our lives. We are therefore no longer tethered to a corporate job as such. Instead, we get to focus on reinventing ourselves by pursuing interests, hobbies and even dreams we did not quite have time for when we were part of the daily-commute crowd. For me, this means developing for the Kinect platform (and, in the process, falling in love with C# despite my earlier prejudices!), designing an animation pl …

This is a group for 1st time moms and dads living on the Peninsula who want to come together and explore this new chapter in life with other new moms and dads.

This group is for expecting moms and new moms in the East Bay areas--focusing on Union City, Hayward, Fremont and San Leandro locals.

I am a stay at home mother of two boys and an fledgling entrepreneur. I needed to come up with a creative way to be productive while at the same time taking care of my kids. I decided to create a baby sitting co-op for those of us who run businesses from home. We will meet at places that are kid friendly (our homes, play cafes, etc) where assigned mompreneurs or dadpreneurs watch the kiddies while others work. The schedule rotates, so everyone has an opportunity to get work done. Parents can not …

Pregnancy is a time of transitions that can open your heart in ways unimaginable. Many of these are internal and spiritual, igniting people to look within for what is Divine and for the motivator and Creator of the universe. Sometimes, however, once the pregnancy is complete and parenting begins, many forget about these strivings and fall into a lull that leaves them hungry for something more, something real. This class will give you the tools needed in order to realize and fulfill your inter …

This group offers a local outlet for anyone who would like to practice and build on the ASL skills you already have. You don't have to be fluent, however, it is beneficial if you have taken or are attending ASL classes as a foundation. So far the group proves to have patient and kind hearted members who can relate to being a beginner of ASL; the anxiety, the joy, and the realization that,  yes, you will get better at this with consistent effort!

"What would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk? It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck. Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION. You may feel as helpless as a year-old infant-as far as fighting is concerned; but please remember: (1) YOU WEIGH MORE THAN A BABY, and …

"It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself. ~Joyce Maynar …

Our mission is to create a fun, supportive and safe place where we can talk about retirement. For many of us, retirement may not be shaping up the way we hoped it would, but we can still figure out this next phase without losing our dreams – old ones and new. By combining our strengths and ideas, we have a better chance of making those dreams come true. Along with learning from each other, each week we’ll have guest speakers and experts from the community talk and answer questions about things l …
