Fashion and Style are important to many people and as we age, we generally know what we like! By the time we’ve explored work, leisure and other pursuits, we know what our wardrobe requires to feel comfortable and ‘true’ to our personality. With that, this week, I asked a few people their 'Favourite Things to Wear' Listen to the full podcast below.

We live in a world where everything involves technology... from shopping, banking, planning holidays, booking appointments, keeping in touch with family and friends.

We are all aware that leisure time is time when one is not working or occupied with chores or something. In other words, ‘free time’ to rest, relax and enjoy life. It’s not difficult to imagine the many benefits of this opportunity, to do the things one enjoys, and to rejuvenate. From the age of 50 many people feel that leisure is a high priority in their lives since they’ve generally been working for a considerable amount of their life and many wish to prioritise taking it a bit easier on a more regular basis.

What is Resilience? Resilience is the result of successful adaptation to adversity. It is revealed by an individual’s ability to cope and recover from crisis, sustain a sense of purpose and vitality, and emerge stronger from stressful experiences. Resilience is a dynamic characteristic that may shift according to the circumstance. It can manifest in many forms: - as an outcome of physical or mental recovery from a traumatic event; - as a trait that describes an individual’s enduring ability to cope; or - as a process of recovering from a stressful event and moving forward. No matter how resilience is viewed, the resources that lead to resilience can result in positive outcomes. In this week's podcast I will be talking about 'Resilience' with a very good friend of mine, Sally Amana.

They enrich the lives of their own children as well as their grandchildren.” Grandparenthood is generally a great source of fulfillment to those fortunate enough to have this opportunity. As with parenting, a grandparent’s role doesn’t come with a job description. In this week's podcast I will be interviewing my parents, Brian and Jan Taylor who are experienced grandparents with 19 grandies ranging in age from 27 down to 6 years of age. Listen to whole podcast TODAY and hear some ideas regarding this important family role.
