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 … [Read more...] about The Goodness of Grief

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 … [Read more...] about Everything Has A Reason and A Season

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 … [Read more...] about Bringing More Joy And Happiness Into Your Life

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."

I'm providing the piece here if you are interested in reviewing it and giving me your thoughts about it. I'm not looking for grammar correction (although it undoubtedly needs it) -- I would just like ideas about how you think content can … [Read more...] about Volunteer Reviewers Wanted

“Attract” is one of the primary buzz-words used to explain how manifestation works. Whichever word you use, you may be putting the “cart before the horse.” I’ve seen and used the words attract, magnetize, match vibrations, alignment—and others. They’re all good words that represent a specific action or dynamic; and it really is only one action being represented, no matter … [Read more...] about Why And How Focus On Attracting Is Misplaced

I was recently doing research on longevity and found there have been many studies done that show where people are healthiest and live longer. One includes a study from researcher Dan Buettner. If you’re not familiar with the term Blue Zones, head to www.bluezones.com to learn more. It was interesting to see 5 areas in the world (one being … [Read more...] about Can We Live Well Beyond 100?

Recently I joined a dating site and it's been a journey into absurdity.  It's also been a learning experience. You get to a place in life where you think you know everything about everything but I've found I must be living in a cave because I do not know anything about today's liberated man. It has been fascinating and a culture shock in many ways.  Here's a highlight of a bit … [Read more...] about Trump Is Ruining My Love Life
