One hundred years ago, on August 26, 1920, the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution enfranchised millions of women across the United States. This meant to women their right to vote would "not be denied" on account of sex. The ratification was the focus of the women’s rights movement and the journey was an arduous and tiresome road to victory that required decades of strife. Though it permits many American women to cast their ballots at the polls, still millions of women … [Read more...] about 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment

Is Our Government Preventing Us From Longer Life?
Before you think that this is a “conspiracy theory” laden post, let me put your fears to rest. I am not suggesting that the government is ACTUALLY going around and eliminating people, but I am posing the question “Are the (unintentional) actions of the government truncating what could be a much longer life?” Here is a question, and a bit of a history lesson, “How exactly was the age of 65 determined for the use of Social Security?” Many have suggested that it was based upon the German … [Read more...] about Is Our Government Preventing Us From Longer Life?
The Prime-Time Myth
The Prime-Time Myth is the perpetuation of a set of ideas about what life, retirement and aging should be like. But the current norm is based on culture, not science or what's truly possible. There is a misunderstanding about how long people believe they will live. We define and reinforce this by our invention of “retirement” as a concept. Retirement doesn't exist. Prior to its invention not even a century and a half ago, people just kept working, or better yet, did what they wanted to. This … [Read more...] about The Prime-Time Myth

The Culturally Conforming Conveyor Belt
Mind, Body, and Soul Our society has built multi-billion-dollar industries assisting people from the outside in while ignoring one of the most fundamental elements of nature – the need to work from the inside out. There is a place for both, but it is a balance between Mind, Heart, Body, and Soul. The spark that renewed my interest in my personal health came during a series of annual physical exams. I began to wonder why it was that I would go see my doctor, then he would order labs. Several … [Read more...] about The Culturally Conforming Conveyor Belt

How Successful People Regard Time
"When popular entertainers are on the road, they often do different gigs in a different city every other night, sometimes every night. This can be a challenge. How do they do it?" This is why many highly successful people already use the time model Prime, Prep, and Play Time to find balance and maintain their schedules. They get through it by dividing up their time. When they are onstage performing before crowds, they are in Prime Time. When they are rehearsing, they are in Prep Time. And they … [Read more...] about How Successful People Regard Time

Don’t Be a Twenty-First-Century Taskmaster
"Procrastination is a challenge we have all faced at one point or another in our lives. When we feel like we have an endless amount of time to complete a task, we manage the task as a way to fill the time." If we have a month, we take a month, even if the project would require just a handful of focused days. Rather than letting our most important goals and significant results determine how we fill our days, many of us have become twenty-first-century taskmasters who are busy, busy, busy all the … [Read more...] about Don’t Be a Twenty-First-Century Taskmaster
