This is a great ideology. It's decluttering with purpose, living your best life now without being weighed down by stuff and giving things with meaning away to people while you are alive to see the joy it brings them.

It's one of the most impactful—and affordable—changes you can make.

Such a great way to start the new year. Mother Nature is starting it off with loads of sunshine. 3 keys to longevity, nature, movement and social interaction. (Even if it’s with your pets!).

Wishing my clients, friends and family so much peace and self love for 2026! I appreciate your support and aim to provide you with my best in 2026.

Pick just one to work on. We all know these, but definitely struggle to put them into practice.

Try a new hobby during the holiday as a way of resting/relaxing.

Even people in the blue zones experience stress. Stress leads to chronic inflammation, associated with every major age-related disease. What the world’s longest-lived people have that we don’t are routines to shed that stress. Okinawans take a few moments each day to remember their ancestors, Adventists pray, Ikarians take a nap, and Sardinians do happy hour. We asked our social communities what hobbies help them shed stress and downshift. What would you add to this list? Comment below.

Not getting along with your neighbour, co-worker, friend or family member?

I was reminded last weekend that we can always find one point of commonality with people whom we may not agree with. Focus on what you share in common not what divides you. In this case it was the love of hockey. Loved cheering on my favorite team playing against Syracuse University.
