These three stretches from my Morning Standing Yoga practice are a simple way to bring a little movement into your day. If fitting exercise into your week feels difficult, start small and choose a time you can protect in your schedule—then treat that time as something worth keeping.

This classic, by Stephen Covey, becomes even more relevant during significant life transitions. Retirement, an empty nest or simply contemplating the future can be a valuable opportunity to reassess how we allocate our time and prioritize our values. In our August video, I provide a guide on using the scheduler.

The past week was especially memorable. I visited Canada’s Stratford Festival to see The Tao of the World and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience attending the premiere of Whatcha Want by Mina Shum at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
My niece did the hair and makeup for the film, so I got to experience all the excitement from the inside. What a gift!

We plan for retirement, travel and major life changes — but have we planned for how we want to be cared for if we can’t speak for ourselves?

Advance care planning is really about making sure our wishes are understood and giving the people we love greater clarity and peace of mind. In this month’s guest article, Neela White, Certified Professional Consultant on Aging® and Certified Executor Advisor, shares how reflecting on our values, choosing trusted decision-makers and documenting our preferences can help keep our voice at the centre of our care.

It’s not always an easy conversation to start, but I believe it’s an important one. Read the full article here:

After retirement, widowhood or another major transition, it can be difficult to know where to begin again. My advice is simple: start by taking one meaningful action.

Whether that means caring for your well-being, connecting with someone or pursuing a goal that matters to you, giving it a place in your week can help rebuild purpose and momentum—one step at a time.

I love books that challenge the idea that getting older is simply about managing decline. Joyspan asks us to think about how we can thrive in the second half of life—and build more joy into the years ahead. If you’re thinking about healthy aging, longevity and what you want this next stage to look like, this is one to explore.

You can read more on Lifeshiift.com to see how its ideas can apply to your own third act. https://lifeshiift.com/2026/03/16/were-living-longerbut-are-we-living-better/
