Welcome to the THRIVE BEYOND 55 blog.
It’s difficult to know which topics will resonate with readers, but I’ve chosen a few categories that I’m interested in and that I believe will serve as the collecting and sharing couldrons for a wide spectrum of thoughts, all related to the “Thrive Beyond 55” theme.
If you don’t quite know where you want to start, here’s a short description of each category and the intended conversation I hope will ensue.
Thanks for being interested enough to make it this far, and I hope you’ll keep coming back to be part of this intriguing dialogue.
Attitude – what beliefs do we hold about aging and thriving; how can we be more positive and elevate our attitudes to a higher frequency
Abundance – what is our relationship with money and how can we practice an abundance mindset and take practical steps toward a more bountiful life; we can be, do and have more in life; where are we going and how will we get there; engaging the creative process; approaching your work and balancing your life using body, mind and spirit; exploring what consciousness means and how we engage that part of our being
Adventure – going to interesting places; participating in activities for enjoyment and growth (travel, sports, leisure, pastimes, hobbies, any physical movement that enhances the health of our bodies)
Artful Living – art, music, design, books, food, automobiles – surrounding ourselves with elements of beauty, inspiration and soulfulness… restaurants, cooking, decor, landscaping, motorbikes, sports cars… anything that appeals to the esthetics of life and pleases our senses. Beauty, elegance, simplicity, texture, colour, etc.
Relationships – how we engage with others ranging from family to work colleagues to friends and lovers, even animals and nature; what’s changing in the dynamics of our relationships with who and what is around us and how are we becoming more connected and considerate
Products and Services – products and services I endorse for their contribution to the Thrive Beyond 55 messaging and for their quality; companies that exhibit a passion to serve the 55+ demographic and operate with integrity and honesty
People Who Inspire Me – because of their attitude toward life, especially those who are 55+ and determined to make their future amazing
