Articles

As we approach the end of this year, we thought we might try something new. This would involve taking questions or comments from you who have been faithfully reading our monthly articles.

You may have situations or sharings which would help others or questions to further explore ideas.

Please use the special email listed here to send these.

We will seek to answer questions or comment on your sharings. In some instances, we might quote you. If you don't want us to quote you - or to mention your first name- let us know.

There will be no new articles for November or December, but we look forward to your sharings.

Thanks for your assistance,

Chris and Jean

Conscious Aging Women October 2025

With all the anxiety, fear, and chaos there is in the world that leads to imbalance, let’s consider how important it is to take care of ourselves and even have some fun during the rest of this year.

Perhaps it is time to look at the upcoming holidays as a time to do something different, to take the stress out of the holidays and simplify our lives. What would help lessen the many chores we map out for ourselves for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas? Could we change the traditional menu, or ask for other people to share in the cooking and planning? Could we buy fewer gifts and save the time we spend shopping to plan a fun thing to do? We could give money to a charity or some organization that helps others. Instead of big meals and lots of presents, we could gather together for hot chocolate, cookies and a board game or reading aloud. We could look back to what we may have done as children that gave us joy and share that with others.

There is a myriad of things we can do that will give us joy that do not require lots of planning, running around and spending lots of money.

This is a time of “good will to all.” Let us include ourselves in that thought and be kind, gentle and thoughtful with ourselves.
