Positive affirmations are built on a simple idea; the words that we say to ourselves matter. Even if we don’t speak to ourselves out loud, our inner-dialogue shapes our feelings about ourselves and the world around us. Positive affirmations allow us to take control of the words that we choose for ourselves. And, ultimately, they help us to take control of our lives. So, today, I want to share a few affirmations – especially those that encourage us to love our bodies. Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat.

There is an old saying that “you are what you eat” and, when it comes to healthy aging, this is absolutely true! In fact, you could argue that nutrition becomes even more important as our bodies get a little older. When I was younger, I could drink root beer floats with abandon. Now, I look at a tub of ice-cream and start to gain weight. Oh well, there are plenty of other things that I love about life after 60! Today, I would like to share some suggestions for how to get the nutrition that you need. I’d also love to hear about your favorite healthy foods.

I’ve always been fascinated by fashion. Specifically, like many women, I’ve always been conscious of the message that I was trying to send through my clothing (yes, I even wore suits with shoulder pads in the 1980s).

So, today, I’d love to share a few tips for choosing clothes that bring out the real you. Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat.

Do you ever feel like you wear a mask around other people? To some extent – especially during the holidays – I think that we all do. So, as we enter 2018, I want to talk about the importance of embracing our true selves.
