My longevity journey began in earnest on the night of my 50th birthday when I proclaimed to a room full of party guests that I was only halfway. Over the following days I reflected on what it actually means to live to 100 years old, and I considered how I want to show up when I arrive there. Since that time, I have been on a journey that has taken me to greater health and more vitality than ever. I also have the confidence that living to 100 is nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, it’s something to look forward to as life’s ultimate grand adventure.
In the past seven years, my longevity journey has developed and evolved, as the science behind what it takes to have a long health span has progressed. However, living a long healthy life takes more than just science; there is an art to embracing the notion of living to 100 and to ensuring quality of life, not just quantity. I have read a number of books on the topic of longevity, I’ve listened to many podcasts from experts in this field, I’ve attended several seminars on successful aging, and I have put into practice many of the strategies recommended through my extensive research.
In actual fact my healthy living journey began well before I turned 50. I was blessed to grow up in a family that lived and breathed physical activity and fitness. I studied Recreation Planning and Management at University and then enjoyed a 30 year career, mainly in local government, planning and delivering recreation facilities and programs that encouraged people to be active and have fun. In 2007 I was introduced to Arbonne, a company that believes in a holistic approach to beauty, health and wellbeing, focusing on the whole person to help them flourish inside and out.
On this website, I will share with you the culmination of my healthy living experiences and expertise, and it is my fervent hope that on this site you find inspiration, guidance and strategies to take your own health and wellness not only to the next level, but the motivation to take it to your next century!
