Ask most people in their 70s or 80s if they would like to live to 120 years and most would reply, "With my health issues -- are you kidding"? What if you asked vital, healthy people in their 70s, 80s and beyond if they would like to live to 120,  and with certain caveats, you probably would get a much different answer.  Let's be honest. Regardless of age, if one is healthy mentally, … [Read more...] about Book Review: I’ve Decided To Live 120 Years

I often think we live in a culture that worships decline. As advanced as we are in our attitudes and beliefs about many subjects, we stick like glue to antediluvian thinking when it comes to "old people". It is expected  that once  age 65 is reached,  life is downhill until the end.  It is assumed "that's the way it is" and nothing can be done about it. … [Read more...] about New Book: Women Still At Work

The start of another new year—when vows to “do better” proliferate, and all kinds of high hopes take flight.  What do you want to do with this year?  More sleep?  Less saturated fat?  Fewer rounds of Spider Solitaire?  A better effort at really listening? At the risk of being a buzz kill, let me suggest “Better budgeting.”  It’s not the nasty “money diet” we often assume, and doing … [Read more...] about The “B” Word

What you FEEL is a key to learning something about yourself. Some of you had no problem answering this question. You’ve always known what you wanted to do and are either doing it or working your way towards it. Some of you have never had a … [Read more...] about How to Identify Your True Calling

I hear from so many women who say they just can’t lose weight no matter how little they eat or how much they workout. (Sorry men, this article will be directed to the ladies…it’s nothing personal.) Everyone is looking for the magic bullet to weight loss and more importantly, keeping it off! We’ve all been told about calories in calories out. The less we eat the more we’ll lose. That’s … [Read more...] about “I Just Can’t Lose Weight”

I’ve been a citizen of the United States since I took my first breath--which was a while ago.  There have been ugly times as a country since then.  There have been disappointing times.  There have been sad, hard, trying times.  But there has never been any time that made me embarrassed to be an American. Until now. We’ve lost the esteem of the World because of our national bad … [Read more...] about What’s Going ON??!

Many are concerned about predators of children and this is good.. Few seem to realize there are also predators of old folks, too.  I won’t ever understand those who want something for nothing. I am warning others near my age that predators are out there, just waiting for a chance to outsmart some older person, to take what they have. I was reminded of this recently when I joined a … [Read more...] about Online Dating Predators

Cathy Areu, founder of Catalina magazine, a publication  intended to shatter stereotypes of Hispanics in the US media,  was a guest on a recent Tucker Carlson Tonight show. She was there to support Ja Du, a transgender white person who claims to be transracial and identifies as a Filipino woman.  Ms. Areu stated her belief that in America, everyone is free to be who or what they say they … [Read more...] about Transage-ism: Be The Age You Say You Are
