True Words Are Not Always Pretty & Pretty Words Are Not Always True
50 & Better
By mid century in our lives we have lived long enough to know what we want, don’t want, need, don’t need and what works best for us. This may or may not be true after knowing yourself 50+ years. My guests, Barbara Hannah Grufferman, author of “The Best of Everything After 50” and “Aging as a Spiritual Practice” by NY Times bestselling author, Richmond Lewis come full circle in their own views about aging. The common denominator with both of them is that aging and change are going to happen to all of us. What is most important is that we embrace this as the truth which in return frees us to enjoy being the age we are while growing older, wiser and more peaceful.

Forgiveness in 2012
We have been told our feelings come and go, but do they really? When we are not given the opportunity or are afraid to express our feelings we stuff them. Harboring negative feelings such as anger and resentment can be detrimental to our immune systems which can in turn make healing or staying healthy much more difficult. When it comes to cancer we need every army of defense we have. Feelings of I don’t matter also come in to play with our health. Learn from Dr. Michael Barry and Kathryn Tull about the power of forgiveness. The problem behind most all problems is feeling that we do not matter. By practicing forgiveness, expressing our emotions and knowing that we do matter can and does affect our health in more ways than one.
