 By Shae Hadden In honor of Valentine's Day....
Love is. Regardless of what life presents,
this Love moves with grace through
time and space,
disclosing through thoughts and
Being
the essence of what is
and who we really are,
embracing it all
wholeheartedly with acceptance and
Joy
The boundaries of Love
are undefined,
limitless,
unconstrained,
non-existent
Love is
All.

There is an old
joke that says, “Sex after 60 is better than ever, but the mounting and
dismounting aren’t so pretty.” If you’re laughing, you know what I’m
talking about. If not, you’re still young enough to have something to
look forward to. I attended a conference recently featuring Steve Pavlina,
the number one blogger on personal development. The topic was about
expanding traffic to your blog and one of his ideas was to write about
something ‘timeless’, something that lots of people have in common and
that breaks the mold of everyone’s expectations. Well, my writing has
been about transforming our notions of growing older and to encourage
intergenerational dialogue, so what better topic to muse on than SEX.[ Read More]

Loneliness is curable. Here are some easy steps to help get you engaged: - Reconnect with family and friends.
Let go of any resentments or regrets you have. Reach out to people you
haven't spoken with in a long time and do whatever it takes to rekindle
the relationship. Spend time with them and communicate using whatever
methods work.
- Surround yourself with upbeat people. Choose your friends carefully. Happiness is just as contagious as loneliness.

Loneliness has been linked to numerous health hazards, including: high blood pressure, obesity, sleep
dysfunction, depression, compromised immunity and Alzheimer's disease and increased risk for cancer. A study published in the 2009 Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
found that loneliness, like happiness, can spread through our social networks. The
study, which followed more than 5,000 participants of the famous
Framingham Heart Study for three decades, reported that loneliness and
feelings of social isolation can travel from person to person
throughout a social network up to three degrees of separation.
Researchers mapped out

Our
group of men met for our semi-annual retreat on Vince’s farm in New
Jersey. We’ve been meeting twice a year every year since 2000. Next
year will be a decade of friends coming together for no other purpose
than to support and empower each other in our lives. We’re older and
we’ve been through a lot together. What I’ve grown to appreciate is
that we’re all very willing, able and open to being vulnerable in
sharing our lives, our experiences and our wisdom with one another. In terms of the facts of our lives, I am sure we are[ Read More]

I’m sitting at my desk, watching the sun set behind the mountains,
listening to the city winding down at the end of a long, hot summer
day. My big move is now complete: all boxes unpacked, everything put
away (at least somewhere, for now), cupboards stocked, and fresh linens
on the bed. Three months ago, when I chose to relocate, I had no idea
it would be such a circuitous route to my new ‘home’. But now that I’m
here, I’m glad for everything that showed up in my journey and for
everything I had to let go of in order to arrive at this most perfect
place for the next phase of my life.[ Read More]

I never thought longevity was the point to
living, although as I grow older I am a lot more interested in the
subject that when I was young. I haven’t met Dan Buettner but would
like to. He’s written an article in the November issue of the AARP
magazine called “ Find Purpose, Live Longer”.
He has done research in 4 areas of the world called ‘Blue Zones’ that
have a large percentage of people who have lived past 100 (Okinawa,
Costa Rica, Sardinia, and Loma Linda, California). For the Blue Zones Project,
Buettner looked for common practices and, while I have not studied his
research, I like his conclusions. Along with having a purpose, he sees
four common lifestyle patterns contributing to increased longevity:[ Read More]

There
is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated
through you into action. And because there is only one of you in all of
time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never
exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable
nor how it compares with other expressions.
It is
your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the
channel open… whether you choose to take an art class, keep a journal,
record your dreams, dance your story or live each day from your own
creative source. Above all else, keep the channel open.
—Martha Graham
I
received this quote from my wonderful coach, Ann Cheng, after our last
coaching call. I had told her that my life just wasn’t working lately.
