Declining Senior Center Interest

An article in the local newspaper, "Director hopes to fight senior stigma" documented declining membership at a local senior center because it appears older people don't want to be labeled "seniors." Yaaaay! It should be obvious that one reason for lack of interest is that eligibility for the center starts at age fifty. I am sure they exist but I don't know any 50-year-old woman who thinks of herself as a senior. Women today at age 50 generally do not yet have a "senior" mindset or interests. They are the "we're the new 30 generation". They are not looking to play bingo or hang out with … Read more

Everything Has A Reason and A Season

  Trees don't struggle to keep their leaves when autumn arrives, nor do they resist new growth in spring. But, resistance to change is how we sometimes or often approach our lives and experiences. Life asks—insists really, that we engage a continuous shedding and new growth aspect. Maybe you're trying to hang onto something it's time to let go of or trying to change something not ready to shift just yet.

Bringing More Joy And Happiness Into Your Life

In my travels, I see people unhappy with their relationships, jobs, financial situation, health, the weather, politics, where they live, how they live…the list is endless. I was prompted to write this article from a conversation I was having with my son’s 26-year-old girlfriend who is stressed and very unhappy in her job. I listened to her share how overwhelmed she’s becoming with her job and she’s not able to express her true talents. She currently works as event planner for a large and busy San Diego company. Her previous job was a wedding planner. I asked what her strengths were, and she … Read more

High cholesterol levels after Christmas Large quantities of rich Christmas food appear to boost Danes' cholesterol levels. Right after the Christmas break, levels are 20 percent higher than in the summer. Insight into how lifestyle drives ER-positive breast cancer Consumption of processed foods high in sugar and fat increase levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Researchers report that AGE levels are higher in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive than ER-negative breast cancer.

The Goodness of Grief

I  enjoy visiting Miss Alice. She lives on the second floor of the three-story, 90 unit building where I live, love and work. I used to live directly beneath her, on the first floor but I switched apartments so I could have a two bedroom.  I had crowded all my “stuff” into a one bedroom and the downsizing had turned into a need for super-sizing so I needed one extra room for a home office. I admit that I missed her nearly non-existent footsteps, and not hearing them at all used to send me upstairs, alarmed and anxious because she has no family, a couple of no account personal aides and has … Read more
