We Can All Benefit From Motherly Advice
For those of us with loving mothers who have provided unconditional love and lots of important guidance, we know that May is the month to recognize them and their contributions to our upbringing. Even though I recognize my mother in different ways during this month, she is on my mind constantly. That’s because she was […]

If you’re urban, you likely know the intersections that are interminable. The ones where we could eat dinner…grrrrrr. ADVICE: A simple shift from grrrrr can do wonders: from fuming-with-delay to pausing, breathing and looking around. Let it be a small shift into the “now-moment-zenishness” of where you are. Ha!

Creating Your Best Retirement Isn’t All About Money
A 2014 study of retirees done by Merrill Lynch and Age Wave led to the following conclusion: “Retirees say health is the number one ingredient for a happy retirement.” Financial security, family and purpose were all important, but health was tops.
