Age is a State of Mind: What Makes Someone Young and Someone Old?

December 5, 2019 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 10 Comments

Vintage leopard skin model

I’ve been contemplating the idea that “age as a state of mind” for a while now. In another week, I’ll be 66. It’s hard to believe. Like most people, I don’t feel old. Well, I shouldn’t say that - some people who are 30 believe they’re old. I remember dreading turning that age but now it seems ridiculous. Perception of aging – We are not our grandparents Probably every … [Read more...]

Mantra for Boomers: Make the Rest of Your Life the Best of Your Life

September 13, 2019 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 8 Comments

Baby Boomer Mantra

I decided I wanted to find a mantra to use to meditate but wasn’t sure what it should be. I didn’t take TM training when I was young, and it was popular. So, instead, I decided to Google one.

Maybe that’s because we invented the rat race, and the two are diametrically opposed. According to HyggeHouse.com, hygge involves living life at a slower pace and adopting an … [Read more...]

Do You Know Your Immigrant Past? It Can be Fascinating

November 3, 2018 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 10 Comments

Immigrants are what makes America great - Finding your #family and #roots

With all the talk about the invasion of the migrant housekeeper/gardeners, which is blatant fear mongering in my opinion, I thought it would be appropriate to write about my family’s immigrant past and their arrival in America. 99% of Americans have ancestors who came to the U.S. from another country. According to a 2012 study, only 1.7 percent of the US population is 100% … [Read more...]
