“You don't have to do those acrobatic, visually impressive poses that you see splashed on magazines and in books, because those can be intimidating. You can just do a very simple practice consistently; I say at least four to five times a week. That's my personal opinion, to benefit and to really feel your best along with other things. I don't do yoga and isolation. It's one of my pillars of a healthful lifestyle.”

“Gentle slow yoga requires you or allows you to really focus on being present in the moment. At tuning into your body: how it feels, staying quiet, getting quiet and enjoying that quiet and that peace, that calm. It offsets our often frenetic, modern lifestyle. I think that's another key benefit.”

“I have always felt energetic. I don't feel the age I am, at least in my mind. So, I think that's all due to yoga and then other things that I do to maintain a healthful lifestyle. After age fifty, bodies are going through different changes, and you just have to be more mindful. It does require more maintenance, but you can make it fun. You can make it pleasurable.”

“Everybody, every investor should have some exposure to energy in their portfolio. After all, it's the basis of civilization. You've got to have it.”

“There's a tremendous amount of misinformation and misunderstanding about energy and where it comes from and how it's generated. In fact, this is pretty much without exception, all the energy in this planet comes from the sun one way or another. It's all solar energy.”

“Treat energy the way it should be treated, as a priceless commodity. Don't waste it and use it efficiently. That's the ticket really. When we came through the major energy crisis in the seventies, one of the things that came out of that is we got a lot more efficient in not wasting energy, improved insulation building codes improved so that we conserved energy. We got a lot of where we needed to get to back then by conservation methods. And conservation is still the cheapest thing you can do to save energy.”

“It’s very easy to get hooked. Once you're hooked, you’re kind of emotionally dependent on this person. You've enjoyed the conversation so much that even when you start getting a little bit of red flags, you don't feel like shutting it down because you've now had this person in your life that you've been chatting with. So, you don’t stop talking to them.”

“You really, literally have to grieve for a while. It's not just you're mad, some idiot tried to screw you over. You feel like that void. Where's my chatting buddy? Where's my person? Because that person becomes really important to you emotionally for everything you've been venting about your life and all of a sudden, poof, it's just gone. It's a really hard thing to deal with.”

“If you get on a dating site, meet the person. Go have a cup of coffee with them in the first week to say, hey, let’s just see if we even have a connection or not. Let's not waste both of our time. Why not cut to the chase? That's the first really piece of advice, I would say to check their picture and try to meet with them as soon as possible.”

“I think that we've seen amazing response from individuals on our social media platforms when we talk about the brighter side of aging, what it could be and what it has been until recently. Honestly, until recent history, people lived with their families for their whole life, and they took care of their elderly, and the elderly were wise decision makers… In America, we're fragmented, and we've lost that.”

“The United States spends more money than any other country on healthcare, and they're one of the worst, if not the worst of developed countries and outcomes. When you hear that a couple times, you kind of get immune to it, but then you kind have to sit back and think about that. And that's what the first year of residency really made me do. I asked myself, why is that the case? And the staffing issue of healthcare workers is why I believe we have the poorest outcomes.”

“If I had to leave you with one thing, I think that one of the biggest issues and the ways that we can help caregivers is to respect and invest in more healthcare workers and continue to support one another in the meantime until the healthcare workforce can catch up to the need. And the ways that we can support one another is to share resources, caregiver to caregiver. That's the most important. Your churches, your volunteer groups, your families, your friends. We have to keep doing that until the workforce can catch up. So, thank you, all of you caregivers for taking care of our patients when we can't, and we're going to try and catch up as fast as we can.”

“By the time you get to be our age, it shouldn't be all that easy to figure out what your personality type is because you've grown and matured, hopefully now those who know you really well, who know you when you're at your best and know you when you're at your worst, not just the kind of pretty picture you give the world, they will know, but ideally grown and matured. And that's a really important element of our being at this point in life and living your best life is really living in your strengths.”

“Well, one of the biggest things I think is for women especially is in younger years, the friendships came from children. You took your kid to softball or ballet or whatever it is you did. And the other mothers who were there were an obvious connection point for you in the office, you had the people you worked with, and maybe you went out to happy hour with them or whatever you did, but you connected. You had a logical connection. But then when that job is gone, the kids are gone. It's like, okay, what do I do now? How do I make friends?”

“We have quite a few pieces that generally address the grief topic, but more from a senior woman perspective as it is really different because as I said, we've been caregivers, we've taken care of people, our parents, by the time we get to this point.”
