Abundance means different things to different people. Often times we think of abundance as having a lot of money or wealth. Abundance is so much more than a healthy bank account. Abundance is a Feeling; an appreciation of life, joy and strength of body, mind and spirit! If you FEEL abundant, you will be abundant! If you aren’t feeling it, a Certified Body/Emotion Code Practitioner can help you release any unprocessed negative (trapped) emotions. These emotions can keep you feeling that you don’t deserve abundance in your life.

Are you a parent or grandparent looking to teach your young ones this summer about giving and sharing? Why not involve them in the planning and running of their own fundraiser? It can serve as an important teaching opportunity on how to organize and launch an activity. The pride they will feel knowing they are helping others, will leave a lasting impression about the importance of contributing to community. That is how community is strengthened, one act of kindness at a time. Find out more at www.sosd69.com/community-fundraising.

The old saying “If you don’t use it you lose it” has some truth to it. If you are active, you are doing yourself a huge favor to stave off falls, increase independence and help prevent illness like a stroke, diabetes type 2 and osteoporosis. But what if you don’t like to exercise? Find something that you do like to do! Walking with a friend, dancing, biking and even mowing the lawn counts. Start slow and enjoy it. Comfort Keepers can help you stay active and get your life back on track.

Summer is here, heralded by warm days spent in the sun, flowers and farmers markets. With the long days, it is so easy to get caught up in our daily activities that we forget to do the simple things. Staying hydrated by drinking enough water is frequently overlooked. Roughly a third of adults in North America suffer from chronic dehydration, which as well as exacerbating and complicating existing medical conditions, causes dry mouth, sluggishness and fatigue, sugar cravings, confusion, dizziness, even fainting and heart palpitations. At Comfort Keepers, we are here to support your health!

It’s important for people of all ages to keep their brains healthy with regular workouts, especially so for seniors. Here are five ways you can keep your mind sharp as you age: 1) Play a game.
