Our intention creates our reality. Wayne Dyer My husband, Willis, and I created an intention last May that we will hike Vernal and Nevada Falls in Yosemite National Park next June 2022. What is “intention?” For us it is about commitment – doing whatever it takes, seeing what works and doesn’t work, what are we…
Motivation is a key element on any journey of self-discovery. We don’t always “feel” like doing what we have said we want to do. What happens then? For Willis and I, October seems to be about injury and physical therapy. Fortunately, the Be Stronger and Slow Weights classes on-line at Body Wisdom Studios allow us to…
I have noticed a belief in our culture that age is determinative of what we can BE, DO, HAVE. That there is such a thing as “normal” aging. That age is responsible for the aches, pains, physical, mental and emotional changes we experience as we get older. I say this belief is erroneous! In my…
Action is the foundational key to all success. Pablo Picasso Action is defined as “the accomplishment of a thing usually over a period of time, in stages, or with the possibility of repetition.” This has been a month of action, learning, growing and challenges = excellent August 2021! Chapter 4, Part I – August 2021…
Do you ever notice a conversation or voice in your head that is mean to you, beats up on you, predicts doom and disaster any time you decide to do something outside your comfort zone? I do. I call it my Sabotaging Voice because when I want to do something I haven’t done before and/or…
Every journey begins with a single step. Our first step in deciding to hike Vernal and Nevada Falls in Yosemite National Park in June 2022, was to declare that is what we are going to do. Then we looked at why we want to do that – our Purpose. Then what it will give us…
The funnest part of setting your POP (Purpose, Outcome, Plan) is having a direction. For me, knowing we are going to hike the Falls next June has an impact on each day. Every morning I awaken and think “What can I do today that will help me prepare?” Of course, I don’t spend every day…
I am discovering I am a dynamic aging cartographer (a map maker). I believe you are, too, whether you know it or not. No matter our age, every move we take, every choice we make, we are creating the map of our future and how we will age. WOW! Talk about unlimited possibilities! Chapter 2,…
Chapter 1 , Part II – May 2021 – Beginning Every journey has a beginning – first the word and then the action. Part I was about the word – purpose, outcome, plan. Part II is about the action. We are creating an “adventure” each month that will include “excitement” and physical challenges/movement. These will…
Dynamic aging is a journey into the unknown. It is unknown because we have never been there before and we don’t know what to expect. That’s pretty much true of all of life. The difference may be that when we are younger, we feel excitement – we can do anything and our culture supports that belief….
