In This Issue

Dear Members and Friends,

Last month I shared some research on the importance of having a purpose in life. There can be many purposes to envision and to follow in life.

To illustrate this idea, Paola Gianturco's current and prior experiences are chronicled in her message to me. I trust you will be delighted to read and listen to her as she tells us about her life.

Links to her talks are accessible just below her message. Click on each and enjoy!

Take control of your health through exercise. It's one of the best ways to develop a plan for living independently as long as you can.

Walking is what we all do naturally every day. In fact the average person takes about 2,500 steps per day without really thinking about exercise. When planning for it, 50% or 100% more steps can be easily added. Take a "walking break" for ten minutes in the middle of the day; take steps around the house or office while you are doing
other things; and of course choose parking spaces as far from where you are going as you can. If you have a dog and you are up for it, let the dog walk you!

Tell us what you think.

Thoughts on the importance of walking:

In a world of rapid action that requires a response to endless stimulation , people need quiet contemplation. We yearn for a means to open ourselves to higher wisdom in our daily lives.

Walking without destinations or agendas is meditation. Cultivating an appreciation of walking as meditation gives us a present moment experience rather than a past driven reverie or a future directed expediency.
