Behind the Mic: A Journalist's Hidden Talents
Take a front-row seat to the more personal side of a seasoned journalist as she shares her artistic talents, personal stories, and passions beyond the newsroom.
A heartfelt and witty commentary, initially written by the late Andy Rooney, on the charm, wisdom, and unique qualities of women over 40.
Andy Rooney was one of my favorite journalists. You probably know him best for his weekly broadcast on 60 Minutes - “A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney.”
Mr. Rooney always had words of wisdom to share either on radio or television. Come to think of it, he wrote a book “Common (Non) Sense.”
As a woman in her 40s, I hold Mr. Rooney’s view on 40+-year-old women as a guide on how to age with grace.
The other day, a colleague who just turned 40 needed advice on what to do now that she hit the big Four. I sent Mr. Rooney’s praise of women over 40 her way. The following day, she thanked me.
RIP Mr. Rooney. Your common sense and words of wisdom are still helping women as they navigate this thing called life.
Thank You.
