I’ve been married forty years. Longer than many of my peers. How do two people stay together that long? Here are my thoughts on what has worked for us. It isn’t sexy but it has worked.

What do you want your loved ones to know about your life? How do you want to be remembered? Ethical wills or legacy writing is a beautiful way to reflect and harvest the stories of your life that are significant. Your values, beliefs and hopes for the next generation can be preserved in your words. Don’t underestimate the gift a legacy letter can be to the next generation.

It’s been seven years since we launched Reframe Your Life. We’ve all had lots of opportunities during the pandemic to reframe life. Aging is another time in our lives when we need to step back and think about what we want and what we are being told is possible and make some choices for ourselves. Reframing aging can help you become a wise elder.

Legacy writing and ethical wills are a way of leaving more than a financial inheritance for the people you live. Imagine the gift that reading or hearing your words will be in the future. The chances are you won’t get around to it alone. I’m offering a workshop to help you get started. Discover how you can make peace with mortality and find the freedom to live more fully, knowing you’ve taken care of this significant gift. You don’t have to be rich to leave a legacy.

These are my top recommendations on conscious ageing.

Most of us have mixed feelings about ageing. We love the freedom we feel due to the work we’ve done. We also are concerned about the future. Part of the work done in eldering is to recognize these feelings.
