Today’s special guest is author/screenplay writer and movie maker Tina Czarnota, creator of Deadwaiter, one of the “Country Inn, Dead and Breakfast Series”.

Tina is a mystery buff and B&B “inn-thusiast” who started writing mystery and ghost stories as a youngster.  Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie were her next steps and it was natural that one day she would write a mystery novel of her own.

And Tina’s done one better!!  She penned two mystery novels and while doing so, visualized them on the screen of her mind so it would only follow that she’d screenplay adapt them (her third went right to screenplay) hoping to see them on the big screen one day.  And now, that is becoming a reality…

If you’re a woman who has a real passion in life and a dream to turn this passion into a business, product or service, then you’re in for a real treat!  In this interview, Tina will share her journey of turning her passion and dream into a reality as well as some great words of wisdom to motivate you on yours.  She’ll also tell us about the making of her movie “Deadwaiter“.

To learn more about the making of her movie and to see a trailer for the movie, go to http://deadwaitermovie.com.  And on that site, you can also learn how you can become a contributor to helping this movie be produced (from as little as $1.oo on up)!  You can also contribute on the Deadwaiter Indie Go Go site where Tina lists some of the great premiums that are available at different donation levels.  (By the way, everyone at Deadwaiter is not sitting on their best intentions waiting for you to come through.  They are working tirelessly at raising funds by any (legal lol) means possible:  raffles, drawings, proposals etc.  They, however, do appreciate any & all support.)

One of Nancy Merz Nordstrom’s many mottos is “It’s never too late to be what you might have been,” by George Elliot.  And Nancy knows this first-hand.

As a 48-year-old wife and mother of four, she was working as a secretary and raising her family, when her husband unexpectedly passed away.

Her whole life turned upside down. Suddenly she was looking at a vastly different future from the one she had always envisioned. Her secretarial job paid the bills, but did not feed her soul. Nancy muddled along, however, trying to make sense of her new life.

It wasn’t until she decided to go back to school at age 51, that Nancy recaptured her life. Being back in school did more for her than grief therapy, personal counseling, or the passage of time could do. It gave Nancy back, not just her life, but a new and enhanced life.

She emerged from school two years later, full of joy, zest and enthusiasm, and with a Masters Degree in education. Using her newfound passion – the power of lifelong learning for older adults – Nancy found her perfect job as the Director of the Elderhostel Institute Network, (www.roadscholar.org/ein/intro.asp), a national network of almost 400 lifelong learning programs across the United States and Canada. Now this is a job that really feeds her soul!

Since then Nancy has been following her bliss. In the process, she remarried at age 55, went to work for herself at age 58, and at age 61, authored her first book, “Learning Later, Living Greater: The Secret for Making the Most of Your After-50 Years.”

“Learning Later, Living Greater” introduces readers to the ideas and benefits of later-life learning. It challenges people to become involved in meaningful new avenues of productivity: learning for the sheer joy of learning something new, educational travel, volunteerism, civic action, and more. It shows them how to stay mentally and spiritually young. “Learning Later, Living Greater” is the guidebook for transforming the after-work years into a richly satisfying period of personal growth and social involvement.

Today, at age 65, Nancy is busier than ever, directing the Elderhostel Institute Network, marketing her book, doing radio interviews, TV shows, and speaking engagements, while authoring articles and columns for various Internet web sites. Her newest endeavor, an online course on how to find life satisfaction using the tools of learning, exploring and serving, will begin this month on the DailyOm website – http://dailyom.com.

Nancy’s work gives her life real purpose, a daily challenge, and lots of outside contact and stimulation. She feels truly blessed and grateful that she has a wonderful family, three gorgeous grandchildren, a terrific and supportive husband, and work about which she feel very passionate.

Another of Nancy’s favorite expressions, “To be able to look back on one’s life in satisfaction, is to live twice,” by Kalil Gibran, guides her life now.

Nancy’s book can be found in bookstores, at www.amazon.com or on her web site at http://www.learninglater.com/. You can reach Nancy at learninglater@comcast.net.
