As long as you dream, you live; if you have regrests, you can change your dream,"says the indomitable Jane Seymour, whose career spans from stage, film, and small screen to artist, writer, and designer.

Turning challenges into opportunities is a hallmark of Seymour's life - a trait she inherited from her mother, who spent over three years in a Japanese prison camp in Indonesia and impressed upon her daughter an enthusiasm for life and its difficulties.

A few years ago, Seymour's friends encouraged her to write about her personal philosophy for living. Remarkable Changes: Turning Life's Challenges into Opportunities chronicles her own obstacles and disappointments and how each turned out to be a blessing. "It's a way of looking at things," says Seymour. "If you turn seemingly bad things around, things can actually end up better than they were before. Life does go on - beautiful opportunities develop through loss."

After a short-lived dancing career, Seymour starred as the Bond girl Solitaire in Live and Let Die and
as Christopher Reeve's costar in Somewhere in Time. Over the years, she's also received critical acclaim for her stage performances and multiple awards for her screen work. But, perhaps she's best known to some for her leading role in the beloved television series Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.

"It was about the human condition; it was also about health and wellness - but even more about choices to accept certain kinds of medicine or not," says Seymour about the role. "It was also about choices in how one chooses to live, about living a life with purpose and in a community."

Seymour felt the role inspired many, especially the current generation of older adults. "A lot of people my age have been running around all their lives and suddenly they stop in their tracks and ask the question, `What's
it all about?' It's about what you can uniquely contribute; a kindness you can show someone else; something you can share; the beauty you can appreciate and experience; and it's about life and living it," says Seymour.

No wonder that when friend Jeff Taylor (founder of Monster. corn) approached her about getting involved with his new online project for people over 50, Seymour also saw its potential in helping others. "I met with Jeff before Eons.com was launched, and even then I loved the idea of it," says Seymour.

For instance, there are nearly 200,000 dreams and adventures posted to the site by people over 50 who, like Seymour, have already joined wwwEons.com."You can take up art, and post it and sell it from the site," says Seymour. "You can travel anywhere you want to go from the site.You can even develop friendships and social networks. It's great to have a community online to go to - one made for this age group. If you're bedridden or can't leave your house, you can still dream through Eons.com. If you want to go to Patagonia, all you have to do is get online and read about it; you can go there in your head."
