Be the Legacy You Wish to Leave Behind The topic of Legacies is a big one as part of the aging process. What will you leave behind for your family, community or the world at large? Wills, trusts, foundations, charities all are in line for your financial treasure. We all want to be remembered after we’re gone. Personally, because I have children and a grandson, I want to leave a legacy for them. What will it be? Initially, I decided that I want to leave them a connection with nature, because for me that’s one of the most important relationships

I’m Not Giving Up What I Have for What I Want So many people in the world – especially in the U.S., sacrifice their health and well-being for financial security, stability, and identity. One person in particular – Suzie, is having major health challenges. Despite all of the medical and alternative health practitioners that she has seen, nothing is helping her heal. What Suzie wants from our coaching sessions is to get healthy. Suzie’s work-life balance is currently 80/20. In our coaching conversation, her body reveals to her that if would like no less than 70/30. Though this may not

“I Have No Time for Serenity…As If I’ve Got Something Better to Do" In a few minutes I have a meeting. I want my day to start as I usually start my day with reading and being contemplative – feeling into serenity so that I’m in it all day long. However, in this particular morning, there isn’t time for serenity. I have to make preparations for this meeting. "Oh, I’ll just do a couple of these things on my list, that should be fine, then I’ll get back to my serenity." I grumped my way through each task and ended

Letting Go of What for What? Self-help materials all encourage people to let go of patterns, habits, and behaviors that aren’t getting them the results they want: more happiness, health, wealth, love. We hear it all the time: "just let go and good things will come to you!" When it comes to aging, the conversation is no different. We are continually barraged with ads and infomercials that tell us we have to let go of the ways we’ve been doing things, and we have to do them differently: eat right, exercise, meditate, be more social, develop healthy habits, take supplements,

David Bennett Interviewed David Bennett experienced numerous spiritually transformative events including a near death event that changed his life – as you can imagine. David experienced being immersed in an ocean of light, meeting his soul family, and receiving a life review, before getting kicked back into his human body. David tells his story in Voyage of Purpose: Spiritual Wisdom from Near-Death back to Life – one of my all-time favorite reads! David and I have been friends for many years. I thought, “What better person to talk about aging than someone who has, in essence, been to Heaven and

Aging Isn’t About Aging – What? “Be yourself – everyone else is already taken,” . . . ever hear that quote before? In the previous podcast I mentioned David Bennett and Cindy Griffith-Bennett and their book Voyage of Purpose. I’m on my third read of this book. The stories of David’s Near Death Experience and the unfolding processes he grew through over the years always awakens something in me that I hadn’t heard in the previous read. I find that there are some books that stay on my bookshelf – the ones nearest to my attention, so I can continue

Resonance is the Sweet Spot of Aging Gracefully What are you listening for? Where are you listening From? For those of you listening to this podcast or those I’ve previously broadcast, I suspect that you were attracted to something that resonated with you. Something engaged your curious mind. Something engaged a knowing, a familiarity, a resonance with a part of you that is looking for confirmation, looking for connection, that knows of your inner guru, or perhaps desires to experience collaboration, union, and harmony as much with another as with yourself. The intention of these podcasts Aging Like a Guru

Dropping Your Identity of Hope Today, I was imagining what it’s like to be me with no hope attached to what I do or don’t do. What an interesting moment. I realized the degree to which so much of who I’ve been being and what I’ve been doing has been related to hoping that the outcome would be in my favor. Having lived in hope for so long, I can tell you it hasn’t been a fun and easy ride. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone! I grew up in a large Catholic family, my dad was a doctor, we

Who’s Your Savior?! Everyday we put our faith in many, many people, organizations, and things such as banks, our employers, our families, our doctors, our cars, insurance company…. The list goes on and on! My question for you today is, “What’s the degree to which you put your faith in you? How safe do you feel making choices that impact on your health and wellbeing as you age?” Here are some thoughts about that!

A New Lease on Life at 70 – Who Me? Harriet and Daniel met while working in the financial industry. They’ve been married 20 years. Both in their 70’s now, they clearly state that who they are now is so different than who they were 20 years ago. Harriet shares that she was all business – saying that that is what the banking world is – all business and very little heart. About eight years ago, they came across a particular network marketing company, which they initially took on as a business, with the mindset of serious business people. And
