“I imagine Lent for you and for me as a great departure from the greedy, anxious antineighborliness of our economy, a great departure from our exclusionary politics that fears the other, a great departure from self-indulgent consumerism that devours creation. And then an arrival in a new neighborhood, because it is a gift to be simple, it is a gift to be free; it is a gift to come down where we ought to be.”
― Walter Brueggemann
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art."

I am certified in group fitness, yoga, and personal training with over 30 years of experience in the health and fitness industry. I love to teach others how to improve their health so they can enjoy a better quality of life as they age.
In the age of botox, liposuction, and facelifts, is there such a thing as aging gracefully? In our youth oriented culture, many people look at aging as losing their looks, their health, and their value in society. Aging is inevitable; everyone gets older, but how we age is greatly influenced by lifestyle factors. The foods you eat, the daily decisions you make, how you take care of your body, can all have a huge impact on how you age. We will all get wrinkles and maybe some gray hairs. However, facelifts, liposuction, and botox will not change our age or help us find the fountain of youth. The fountain of youth is within you; you can age with beauty and grace by building a strong foundation. You have the ability to slow down the aging process with exercise, good nutrition and self care. So take charge of how you age by making better lifestyle choices today.
