We saw this article published by #LiveCanyonRanch, and thought we had to show it to you. It’s filled with important thoughts on our changing bodies and provides important information for all women.
Putting Perspective on What Really Matters Most!
a special feature from Kay Ziplow & Leslie Zinberg, founders
We don’t have to wait for a tragedy or sickness or something that rocks the boat of life to really know to appreciate our being. Often the punches we receive in life can cloud our ability to see the bigger picture, and what is relevant and important. As a result, life can sometimes seem very overwhelming. While this feeling is normal, it may be debilitating to routines and lifestyles.

Taking Guilt Out of Your Life
a special feature from Kay Ziplow & Leslie Zinberg, founders
Getting stuck in life can get boring when you only act in your adult relationships out of guilt. Psychologists say living without guilt is an empowerment to rise above, to reconcile the grinds and power-up against what life will next throw at you. Holding onto guilt is one of the hardest things you can do to yourself and is certainly a form of punishment. Walking around feeling as if there’s a black cloud hovering is anything other than healthy.

Take A Time Out… Ditch the Routine
4 Reasons Why Getaways Lift the Mind and Spirit
a special feature from Kay Ziplow & Leslie Zinberg , founders
Let’s not spend too much time here on the past; we all know it’s been a challenge. Now we are perhaps in a better frame of mind and wanting to stretch ourselves for some much needed time-out. How many times have you wanted to take some time for yourself, but thought it wasn’t possible? And how many times have you complained how exhausted you are, without doing anything about it?

Shame on You- How to Know when to Keep Quiet
a special feature from Kay Ziplow & Leslie Zinberg, founders
We are never too old to make mistakes, and consistently learn from them. What happens when we get too overzealous and interfere with perhaps the marriage of our children or our ideologies of parenting? Should we be so intent on having our ideas or experience shared- or should we wait to be invited to the conversation?

Grandparents – Are We Pushovers? well yes, of course!
a special feature from Kay Ziplow & Leslie Zinberg, founders
The other day I made each of my grandchildren one giant and I mean GIANT heart shaped pancake larger than the plates could even hold! It was an epic breakfast time.
You know it was the kind of pancake that required a bottle of syrup, a full can of whipped cream, sprinkles and all the fixin’s that just make grandmas breakfast ever so special!
I served those precious children with such glory and turned to the get extra napkins- just anticipating the mess, when I overheard my granddaughter say to her brother: “I bet grandma can’t make a bigger pancake than this.”
A quick chuckle to share:
On a recent weekend when the grandkids stayed over — our 4-year-old grandson came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me that he had dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. All the while this happened on ‘grandpa’s’ watch, as I went to do the dinner dishes! I came right out of the kitchen and walked over to our grandson to calm him down, and I bravely fished out the toothbrush and threw it into the garbage. I looked in his eyes, and told him, grandma has another brand-new toothbrush just for him, and he should not worry anymore.

Do You Step Outside Your Box?
a special feature from Kay & Leslie, founders grandparentslink.com
Let’s face it- as we age, our brains function as a task automaton- meaning that we keep ourselves in the comfort zone of what we know best. We tend to find security and well-being in the routines we set forth, and manage accordingly. In doing so, we are truly fulfilled when we experience what we sense is most comfortable or predictable. It’s not that we become boring as we age- rather experience gives us boundaries and parameters in which to operate our daily lives and relationships. There’s nothing wrong with operating in your own comfort zone; it is truly the path of least resistance.

Think About….
The Paradox of Our Age
We have bigger houses, but smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees, but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgment.
More experts, but more problems;

Gratitude is Always “In”
a special feature from Kay Ziplow & Leslie Zinberg, founders
This time of year can get a little out of hand for anyone! With all the holidays upon us, and a New Year lurking right around the corner, we can get so caught up in ourselves with all the hustle and bustle.
