Happy 67th Birthday, Jane Seymour – We Love Your Bold, Adventurous Style!

I love Jane Seymour. She is bold, unconventional, adventurous and independent. Besides, anyone who would change her name to one of King Henry VIII’s wives has my admiration. Incidentally, she chose wisely, because Jane Seymour was the only of the Henry’s wives who did not lose her head! Read More

What 5-Year-Olds Can Teach Us About Life After 50

5-year-olds are an endless source of “why” and “how” questions. They have an insatiable desire to understand how the world works.

We can learn from our inner-5-year-old (and the real kids in our families) and get more from life after 50. Today, I’d love to share a few suggestions for how to do exactly this!

I Love My Body – Affirmations for Honoring Your Body

Positive affirmations are built on a simple idea; the words that we say to ourselves matter. Even if we don’t speak to ourselves out loud, our inner-dialogue shapes our feelings about ourselves and the world around us. Positive affirmations allow us to take control of the words that we choose for ourselves. And, ultimately, they help us to take control of our lives. So, today, I want to share a few affirmations – especially those that encourage us to love our bodies. Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat. And, if you enjoy the show, please tell one friend about us today. Your support means so much to me! Read More

Healthy Diet, Healthy Aging!

There is an old saying that “you are what you eat” and, when it comes to healthy aging, this is absolutely true! In fact, you could argue that nutrition becomes even more important as our bodies get a little older. When I was younger, I could drink root beer floats with abandon.

Today, I would like to share some suggestions for how to get the nutrition that you need. I’d also love to hear about your favorite healthy foods.
