We are all shaped by our experiences, in our personal lives and in our careers or businesses, and these go a long way toward helping us grow, improve, and take calculated risks. Our experiences can help us discern the truth of a situation, or a person. Our past successes, and especially our failures, can help […]
No Senior Moments Here
When you think about getting older, how do you define what that means for you? Do you ever see yourself as being “elderly”? Do you envision yourself when you hear the words “senior citizen”? (And let’s face it, that’s probably the most ridiculous of the terms out there considering we don’t have “junior citizens” or […]
Sustainable Success
Do what you love. Follow your passion. Live your soul’s purpose. These ideas have an almost universal appeal, and they are, of course, true. Yet how we go about doing this is where many of us get stuck. Some just make the leap—quitting their unfulfilling job, starting a new business, committing to a cause they […]
We Are the 51% #TBT
For this weeks’ #TBT (Throwback Thursday) I wanted to share this post I did on pay equality. With the conversation still going on four years after I originally wrote this it was interesting and sad for me to see things that have not changed. But as we continue to discuss these many unequal threads I’m […]
Owning Up
In another post, I talked about an attribute of visionaries: being truth tellers. They stand up for what’s right, regardless of the consequences, speaking the brutal truth when it needs to be said, and acting on that truth in their everyday lives. But being a visionary does not mean being perfect. Sometimes telling the truth […]
The Mayan Prophecy #TBT
For this weeks #TBT (Throwback Thursday) I’m sharing a post that I wrote at the end of 2012. There was a lot of conversation around fear and the end of the world. With the social climate going on from US elections, to terrorist threats, to the global economy the same conversations are coming up again. […]
The Invisible Woman
Women tend to have the blessing and the curse of being invisible, especially as we approach 50 and beyond. The negative side of being invisible is clear to most of us. The world no longer seems to notice or care about us or what we have to say—if they ever did in the first place. […]
Multiple Conversations on Aging #TBT
For Throwback Thursday (TBT) I wanted to reshare this post I did back in the Summer of 2012 about the Power of Having Multiple Conversations on Aging. I read an article (Tori Vigil’s “Thank God for Aging”) that put beautifully why aging is in many ways a positive part of life. What struck me most, […]
We Are the Truth Tellers
Everyone has their own individual truth; what they believe, what they feel and what they value. I’m interested only in the truth inside. My life is about finding the truth of a character, the truth of a relationship, the truth of God, the truth of health. That’s all I’m interested in. —Shirley Maclaine Being a […]
Optimistic Aging
The National Council on Aging (in partnership with USA Today and UnitedHealthcare) recently conducted a survey of 2,250 people over 60, with results that might surprise you.
