Have you ever looked at a photo of your grandmother and upon calculating her age been shocked to find she was much younger than you, but looked so much older.

Life is thrilling and scary, beautiful and terrible, joyful and sad. It will always be all of those things no matter what we do because it is part of being human.

I am now 76 years old and have no desire to portray myself as younger.  I don’t want to look or be 66. I don’t want to look back, I don’t want to hang onto years that have passed. I am too excited to see what is to come! I am still learning new things about myself and every day is a chance to do better than I did the day before.

Most resolutions end up being difficult things to follow through on, as most of us know by now! In order to achieve any goal your mind has to be in the right place. Mindset has a great deal to do with following through on a goal of any kind. If you are not in the right frame of mind, you can’t achieve any of your goals.

When I was young someone told me to always remember these three things before you speak.

1. Is it true?

2. Is it necessary?

3. Is it Kind?

It might be the best advice I ever got…

Many of you tell me you want to make changes to age well but do not know where to start; that you have lost sight of goals in your life and feel irrelevant or invisible. Maybe this is because your lack of doing has made you invisible or irrelevant to yourself
