One of the rewards I enjoy as a geriatric care manager is the opportunity to pass along helpful tips to make the day-to-day job of growing older a bit easier, safer and sometimes, more fun! I regularly accompany my dear clients to medical appointments, on routine errands like grocery shopping, and everyone’s favorite – going… Continue reading 5 handy gadgets for boomers and beyond

Blog roll
Like curling up with a good book on a cold, rainy day, I look forward to settling in with my favorite bloggers on a regular basis. While life in the blogosphere grants us opportunities to connect with everyday authors on countless topics, pledging allegiance to a small group of bloggers is my way of creating… Continue reading Blog roll
“Let it be. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.”
And when I stopped running, I sat very still and simply opened my arms to welcome a new life of countless blessings and peace.
What are you doing New Year’s Eve?
Looking back at the highlights and blooper reels of my life, I am reminded that ushering in the new year, for me, has been part spectator sport, part Olympic competition, and part Sleeping Beauty minus the dwarfs. I am looking forward to New Year’s Eve. I’m going glitter all the way, pajamas not allowed. 2016’s last meal is… Continue reading What are you doing New Year’s Eve?
Skin in the game
While I will continue to shout from the mountain top all the reasons I’m loving my 50s, I also admit that this aging game is not “all play and no work”. Mother Earth, Father Time and I are in a dance off of sorts. A shot of gravity here, a touch of sun damage there, and… Continue reading Skin in the game

I am helping a sweet client learn to live without her much-loved pet.… Continue reading Live Laugh Love
Status quo – December
Currently: Listening: “Baby-makin’ jazz playist” via our Amazon Fire. Oh, settle down. The only baby at our house is our baby dachshund Daisy Jane. Eating: back to the healthy eating life. We fell off the food wagon in November. It was good while it lasted. Although, sugar, salt, carbs, too much meat send my body into… Continue reading Status quo – December
The 70s on 7
Boomers, this post is for you! I’ve spent a lot of time in my car this week. The 70s radio station has been my constant companion. No bad news, no politics, and a guaranteed strategy to keep me in a happy place. Turn up the volume, light up the disco ball, pull on your bell bottoms… Continue reading The 70s on 7
When you only have 100 years to live
With time comes wisdom. I treasure my pearls of wisdom collection as much as some women cherish their heirloom jewelry. Some pearls have passed from generation to generation, some pearls as imperfectly perfect as self-taught lessons. The collection is as unique and special as the people I carry in my heart. “Life is a journey of sweetness and sorrow. Of yesterday’s… Continue reading When you only have 100 years to live
