Disclaimer: I know this is going to inspire a lot of emotion—both positive and negative. I look forward to reading each and every comment. When I think of youth, I think of innocence. That time in our lives when as children, we believed whatever we were told. Children tend to approach others with openness and […]

Old is an Attitude
Yesterday for an hour on Twitter I hosted a poll. I asked if “old” was the result of age or attitude. My takeaway is this: Don’t let your attitude age you. Would love to hear your thoughts! Also, if you’d like to make your opinion heard in future polls, please follow me on Twitter @DianGriesel […]
Calendar Smalendar
Calendars have nothing to do with your age. Calendars are handy when it comes to reminding you what date it is — but being too vested in the days, weeks, months and years of chronological age may prevent you from being open to untold opportunities. A few years ago when I was co-writing the book […]

Extraordinary: beyond what is usual; strange; exceptional; noteworthy; phenomenal; amazing; curious; fantastic; marvelous; odd; outstanding; particular; rare; singular; special; surprising; terrific. The difference…only a little “extra”…that you’ve already got! Tell me all about your “extra”! Add your photo […]

Turn the Page
Whether it’s Bob Seger’s original song or Metallica’s cover, whenever “Turn the Page” comes on the radio, my mood gets infinitely better…while painfully to the ears of others, I start singing along 😉 In life, there always comes a time, sometimes many times, when you have to choose between turning the page or closing the […]
Power Play
Almost twenty-five hundred years ago Plato wrote: ‘You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.’ With insights like that it’s no wonder the guy is still a philosophical rock star today. Without play, we become dull, tired and worn out. Sometimes we resist the idea […]
Smashing Age Stereotypes
There are countless stereotypes as to what defines an “old” person. These are accompanied by myths as to what “older” looks like and “how old people act.” However, as with all stereotypes — most of them are simply not true. Aging does not mean that Alzheimers and forgetfulness are inevitable. It doesn’t mean we’re all […]
Daydream Believer
Whenever you’re not sure what you want to do next in your life, look to where your mind wanders. Daydreaming is a powerful messenger for relaying your heart’s desires. The more you find yourself daydreaming about something…the more you’re getting great information about what you might want to be doing next with your time. Daydreaming […]
Turning Points
Turning points are those moments when our world seems to turn upside down —whether we like it or not. Crisis often accompanies our turning points, and difficult or important decisions must be made. Suddenly, we are challenged to adapt, reach, grow…and maybe even rebirth ourselves into what feels like a new life. Both events and […]
