WELCOME TO THE TEAM!
MEET THE NEWEST TEAM GB ELITE BLOGGER MARY T. WAGNER


Join us in welcoming author Mary T. Wagner to our roster of Team GB Elite bloggers! Mary is a former newspaper and magazine journalist who changed careers at 40 by going to law school and becoming a criminal prosecutor. However, she never could step away from the written word entirely, and inevitably the joy of writing drew her back to the keyboard. She's published three essay collections -- Running with Stilettos, Heck on Heels, and Fabulous in Flats -- that have garnered numerous national and regional awards, and now she's just released a new paperback called "When the Shoe Fits...Essays of Love, Life and Second Chances." The Chicago native is also a mother to four and a new grandma! Long-time GrowingBolder.com readers may remember her blogs from our site. We're thrilled she'll be continuing on this new platform. Check out some of her first posts and welcome her aboard!
