***What You, BOOMERS and EMPTY NESTERS, Didn’t Know About NATURE?

Written By: Natalie Caine, M.A. Spring cleaning triggers a part of you that wants to toss the old, clear out your space, and then pick a new, to decorate and bring in beauty. Beauty feeds your peace and your creativity. A plant, like rosemary, chamomile, or basil in your home can calm you. We forget to take in the scents of life. I have an herb plant in every room and at my door step. Five dollars to buy or pennies to plant by seed. Did you know nature has a fantastic display of colors to spark your ideas for paint colors and decorating?

***From Ezekiel to FDR: On Raising Taxes

Written By: Lew Hamburger I believe in raising taxes. Now that I have your attention, this is why. We make decision-making and life way too complicated. When you cut through the fog, deciding what to do in tough situations can be reduced to three questions: * What kind of person do I want to be? (For individuals) * What kind of family and nation do I want to be a part of? * What do I have to do right now to move in that direction?

***How Do I Buy a Domain Name and Other Beginner Questions

Written By: Judith Sherven, PhD and Jim Sniechowski, PhD Getting started making money online can be overwhelming for beginners, especially Boomers who didn’t grow up with computers in their playpens. Many people don’t even know the basics: What is a domain? How do I buy a domain? What is a shopping cart? How do I grow a list of people to sell to?

It can be confusing that new diet regimens appear all the time and that the whole field of nutrition seems to change its mind radically every year or so.

***Things to Consider for Retirement

Written By: A.T. "Al" Benelli, CFP, FIC Each and every day, approximately 10,000 baby boomers celebrate their 65th birthday. Most people identify the arrival of age 65 with the event of “retirement” and the receipt of Social Security benefits. Actually, the age of full Social Security retirement benefits for most baby boomers is currently age 66. Reduced benefits with earned income limitations can be taken as early as age 62. Should you take the money at 62 or 66 or somewhere in between? So, what’s best?

Are we that afraid of differences? Could be.

***Boomers….If You’re Aging, Count Your Blessings

Written By: Angelena Craig As boomers we are growing older, not so far off from what was once called old age. We can dismiss these scary and unpleasant thoughts, perhaps until we notice one or more of the following… * When we look in the mirror, we appear less attractive. * We get our first pair of reading glasses. * We have less energy than before. * There are more aches and pains felt in our body. * Our hair thins.We have a chronic medical condition. * We forget things.

***What Is Happening To My Body?

By: Dr. Michael J. Kaye I frequently hear this question from my baby boomer patients. The males complain that it takes them longer to heal when they exercise too much. They say they just can’t get rid of their love handles. My female patients complain of weight gain and whole body fatigue. I want to share some information that can help everyone heal faster, lose weight, and improve energy levels. Since March is Nutrition Awareness Month, it is appropriate that this information has to do with our diets.

***Federal Death Tax Gone; State Tax Remains Ominous

In the last days of 2009, Congress let the federal estate tax die for 2010. That’s right, for those who are “smart” enough to pass away this year, there is no federal estate tax. I’m imagining that Dr. Kevorkian’s 800-number will be ringing off the hook on New Year’s Eve. But according to the Financial Planning Association of Washington, D.C., individuals and families should keep their eyes on another big estate tax issue — a potentially huge hit from their home state.

***The Resurgence of Uncertainty

The economic recovery is alleged to have started back in March. Health care reform, in one shape or another, was a given. Barak Obama was the icon of “change” in our government. What a difference a handful of months have made. Republicans were elected governor in New Jersey and Virginia. Massachusetts fires another “shot heard ‘round the world” by electing a Republican senator to replace Ted Kennedy. The stock market, expected to be bolstered by the news, takes a swan dive. What’s up? I can tell you in one word…uncertainty.

***ANGRY? OR SAD? OR BOTH?

written by Pauline Derby, EFT-CC IMAGE HEALING HYPNOSIS It’s alright to FEEL anger. It’s perfectly NORMAL to feel hurt and upset or rejected, even betrayed. What’s NOT ALRIGHT is to allow your anger or sadness to devour you or leave you feeling dejected or devoid of power, energy, and spirit. Some of us FEAR anger and DENY sadness. We smother our emotions, scared to feel too much. (If we felt them with all their magnitude, could they take us over?) In actuality, emotions can only hold the power that we assign to them! On their own, they are only words.

***Political Promises Made to be Broken

As this article goes to press, it seems that Congress is hell-bent on giving us a health care bill that they promised will not cost the American public a single dime in new taxes. How many times have we heard promises like that? Social Security was promised to be only a 1 percent tax on the first $1,200 of earnings when it was introduced. Social Security benefits were promised to never be taxed. Medicare was promised to be the solution to rising health care costs for seniors. These two programs are now the largest spending items in the federal budget.

***A Healthy Circulatory System with a High Functioning Lymphatic System

he circulatory system is an amazing network containing over 60,000 miles of blood vessels. In the center of this system is the heart, which is weighs about 11 ounces and is the size of a fist. The heart is like a double pump organ. The right side sends blood to the lungs. There carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen is added. The blood is then pumped through the heart again to be distributed throughout the body. This action takes place every 20 seconds. If the heart stops pumping, the result is death. The blood carries essential nutrients and oxygen to every part of the body.

Trusts and Trust Companies have existed for hundreds of years.

Trusts provide a continuity of service to those who have a need for a relationship built upon a confidence and on legal protection. Trust laws vary among the different states and countries. There are many different kinds of trusts. The premise, however, is the same in every jurisdiction and in every type of trust.
