Celebrating Community and Wise Women

Some friends enable us to stay stuck and some friends challenge us to grow toward our fullest potential. I feel lucky to surround myself with friends who encourage my growth.

I just spent a long weekend celebrating my friend Katie’s birthday. We laughed, we danced and we stayed up late talking about our lives, our families, relationships, sex, and hormones. We learned from and appreciated each others wisdom and experience. Our culture idolizes youth, so it is easy to under-appreciate the great wisdom that only comes from experience. We talked about current challenges and supported each other in a “no judgment zone”-

The last couple of years have emphasized how damaging isolation is and how vital our human need is for connection and community.

Relationships are essential and, like a mirror, give us a great opportunity to learn about ourselves.

Friends give us courage and confidence and support when most needed. Friends show us our magnificence and possibilities that we may not be able to see in ourselves.

One of my friends’ mothers used to say, “Love is a decision.”

I believe everything is a decision. We have free will. Health and wellbeing are choices and therefore decisions. What we eat, think and do are decisions.

You cannot deny that years are passing, but how you age is a choice. The body follows the mind. How you think of yourself matters.

What you focus on is what you will get more of. If you focus on the disease, you will get more disease. If you focus on developing healthier habits and feeling good, you will rediscover optimal health.

How do you improve your health? Surround yourself with a community that is focused on health.

You are only as healthy as the people you surround yourself with.

Do your friends encourage your growth? Encourage your health goals? Then invite them to join you on the journey and Live Younger Longer.

If you could use a little more support, then come be part of our community, where we support your optimal wellness.

Still have questions? Then:

To Your Health,
