***Checkers Anyone?

We are learning more and more that playing cards, board games and crossword puzzles can delay the memory loss associated with Dementia. This is great news and adds value to having a Companion Caregiver. Some of my favorite clients are my “companion” cases. Home Care isn’t just for those with physical limitations, we also serve a large number of clients that simply put-need a friend. Sounds so simple but human contact and stimulation can help bridge the gap between being lonely and being alone.

***Can Your Will Be Kept Too Safe? Surprisingly, the Answer is Yes!

Written By: Gary Altman. Esq., CFP Oh that’s where that is!” – a common catch phrase during spring cleaning. We’ve all done it – put something in a “safe” place, only to forget exactly where that safe place is. Maybe you can’t track down the spare car key or perhaps you’ve misplaced the gift you bought for grandson’s birthday which is next month…it happens. And, hey, let’s face it – our memories are not quite what they were 20, 30 years ago. That said, when it comes to your estate planning documents, you simply cannot afford to let them get lost in the sauce! Hide and Seek

***Beyond Resolutions to Courageous Vision

A new year: 2012. Some will set goals or resolutions. But I want to encourage you to do something more courageous: Dare to have vision for your life, family, faith, career, community and nation. If we don't live with vision, then we live aimless lives. The writer of Proverbs says it well: "Where there is no vision, the people perish." Proverbs 29:18 I like to put a positive spin on it: Where there is a vision, the people flourish! It is time for us to flourish and prosper again as a nation and as a people. Vision is not born in a vacuum. It is a process: Vision

***Dating by the Name

So, what can we gather about a person that is important prior to our date? First is compatibility. Emotions are held in the vowels while consonants represent our attitudes. Thus, the first question is, do you have similar vowels? The more vowels you have in common, the easier it is to “get” the other person. The first vowel in the first name[1] is the most important as it determines our overall communication style. The ideal is to find someone with your same vowel. However, that would be quite limiting. The next best is to find a person with a compatible vowel.

***Why Second and Third Marriages Often Fail

***Where Do Your Vitamin and Mineral Supplements Come From?

written by Dr. Karen Purcell, M.M., N.D., C.N. Many people think that all nutritional supplements are “created equal”. Well, that is simply not the case. Many, in fact, most of the supplements in the US are concocted in a laboratory. They are chemicals and synthetics. For example, if the word acid is used in the name of the product, it is synthetic. Like ascorbic acid or folic acid. These are chemicalized synthetic forms of Vitamin C Ascorbate or Folate (part of the B Complex series). So…what’s the difference?

***Postive Self-Talk

Be Your Own Best Supporter! We all want to feel self-confident. It feels so wonderful to be able to walk into a room, speak to people and feel self-assured. Feeling comfortable in your own skin – priceless! Most of us seek confidence in our environments with the people, places and things that make up our world. We rarely find it there; instead, it is discovered within us. This is where our own positive self-talk plants the seeds that blossom into a healthy self-esteem and respect.

***Apperance Matters

I am often asked for ways to help improve an elder’s appearance. Even if your elder is healthy, he or she might neglect physical appearance. In some cases, it has been years since anyone paid close attention to your elder’s physical appearance, and a little bit of attention goes a long way. Bring your elder to the hairdresser or barber. Give her a regular pedicure and manicure. If you can afford it, a facial can be a real treat.

***Surging Ahead

Written by: Neal Dranoff A couple of years ago, my wife Nita got smacked with the realization she was beginning to go through “the change,” i.e. menopause. God bless her, she’s been riding out this storm with the grit and grace of an America’s Cup skipper. Some days are worse than others, but the mood swings have only been semi-alarming rather than outright menacing…think of the difference between sitting on a merry go-round versus riding a roller coaster…it may be an up-and-down journey, but at least there aren’t any wild plunges and turns.

***For God’s Sake, Get a Hearing Aid!

For me, old age began the day when, for the third time in five minutes, I uttered the words, “Whadya say?” and the other person screamed back, “For God’s sake, get a hearing aid!” I admit it. For years I’d been in denial about my gradual hearing loss. I associated it with diminished virility. Blamed it on wax buildup, people who didn’t speak distinctly or high female voices that were audible only to household pets.

***Stay Emotionally Intimate with Daily Rituals

A fabulous relationship has many of the same attributes as a great friendship. When it’s working, you can feel the “ka-chunk” as it settles neatly into its place in the universe. There’s someone to zip your dress, give an opinion about what tie goes with that jacket, get aspirin for your headache, or laugh at your jokes. Good stuff. But what sustains a committed relationship and makes it GREAT is emotional intimacy. That’s what makes living together easy and comfortable—and why every couple should have intimacy rituals that can be practiced daily.

***Your Name is Your Brand

Your brand name represents your reputation, indicates your business ethics and becomes the symbol of what people think of you. The same is true for your own name. Your name is your brand, your representation of who you are. People received impressions of who you are, consciously or unconsciously, based on your name. When we hear a first name, we immediately think of other people who have shared that same first name that we have previously met. Our impression of others we know with the same first name correlates into our first impression of the new person.
