I turned 70 about six months ago and have noticed some changes in my physical ability, endurance and strength. I’m still very active, hiking up mountain trails at least once a week, doing strength training with a personal trainer one afternoon a week, working several mornings as a chef and take my dog for a mile jaunt almost every day…

I am a firm believer in the adage that an “ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” when it comes to my health. That’s why I usually don’t wait for symptoms to tell me whether I need to do something to take better care of myself…

Online dating can be fun and exciting, meeting new and interesting people, exploring different places, and having experiences that broaden your horizons. But that sunny optimism is more often the exception rather than the rule…

Ahh, the search for the rare breed of good men: The decent men who want a serious relationship. You mean decently healthy, financially stable, well-groomed and clean, handsome enough, and ready for a long-term relationship. At first glance, these seem like questions about the dating market. But, if they were, my answer “everywhere” would suffice…

We all know how to flirt at least a little bit because some flirting happens subconsciously. This means it happens without our conscious awareness, so it’s very natural and automatic. Super sexual flirting isn’t done naturally, and that’s not something I recommend…

Dating over 60 is brave. Tender. Hopeful. And yet – sometimes the hardest part isn’t the men. It’s the people sitting across from you at lunch, clutching their wine glasses, nodding sympathetically while inadvertently dragging your love life into the gutter…

Heart pounding, adrenaline flowing, anticipation peaking. Is that really what adventure means? Does it have to be physically extreme to qualify? If it isn’t seeing penguins in Antarctica, swimming with manta rays in Belize, or climbing Machu Picchu, does it still count?

Springtime is such a glorious time of year and certainly one of my favourite times to be here in Sicily. Delicate fresh spring flavours appear in dishes and on menus and, with daylight hours increasing daily, al fresco breakfasts and dinners start to bookend the day. Meanwhile, wildflowers and fragrant herbs are emerging on the hillsides…

At a recent gathering, a client of mine found herself in a familiar social moment. Someone leaned in, smiled, and asked the question many women quietly dread in retirement: “So… what do you do?” She paused. Not because she lacked an answer – but because none of the old…

With the 24/7 news cycle, it’s hard to avoid breaking news headlines and checking your account balance. The truth is, I hear versions of this all the time: “I made the mistake of checking my account after listening to the news…

A woman once said to me, “I’ve spent my whole life being careful with money… and now I don’t know how to stop.” She wasn’t struggling financially. In fact, she had done everything “right” saved consistently, avoided unnecessary debt, and built a stable retirement. But when it came time to use her money, she hesitated. After decades of saving…

A friend of mine used to say, “Why do today what can easily be put off until tomorrow?” Downsizing a substantial photo collection can definitely be one of those things that can easily get started tomorrow, or the day after…
