Moving One of the realities of the afternoon of life is that we are going to move, even if it is to an urn on our grandchildren's mantle or a hole in the ground. It is not a question of if, it is a question of when and a question of how. Many people, [...]
How did we get all this stuff? As we age, there seems to be less attachment to possessions or the need for possessions. In the first half of my life, I was consumed by being a consumer. I had to have the latest "stuff". Even when I turned fifty, the entry point to the [...]
The afternoon of life The paradox of the afternoon of life is that just as we may feel we are finally hitting our stride – if we do not take a siesta, we risk burning out – never making it to the evening of life. I have found myself looking at living according to [...]
In preparation for a series on consciousness and awareness, I have been doing some research, which led me to a number of product offerings designed to entrain the brain into a readiness state conducive to meditation.

Two weeks ago, we began our focus on health and wellness with a listing of the various theories that we use as informational resources for our clients in our health and wellness offerings. In my practice, I focus on a client's inner thought process that often destroys their approach to becoming healthy, and how [...]
Last week, I talked about the different diet approaches that provide the basis for our own food choices in the second half of life, which is a good starting point for anyone looking to make their own choices. My original intention was to simply summarize the points of each of the authors, but that [...]
At one point, living past the age of fifty was quite the feat. Fortunately, we’ve come a long way since then thanks to brainpower and technology. Otherwise, I might not be here, writing this blog.
