Baby Boomers Are Discovering Feng Shui
I am sure that this heading is not surprising for a good percentage of Baby Boomers. For others it is just a term they may not be familiar with, but certainly understand it.
Feng Shui is "is the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment". Feng Shui principles incorporate the physical world in to change. If anyone knows change Baby Boomers do.
So what does this mean to you?
* Feng Shui can show you how to incorporate physical changes to your environment
* Feng Shui can help promote positive energy and joy
This is an incredible area to help us build positive energy and environment which is very important to Baby Boomers for well being.
On another note, I read an article today on Feng Shui that covered a whole new area for me. Part of the article said "Bad hair day? Try feng shui." Am I one to question?!

Boomers Having Too Much Sex?!
I was reading an article in the paper recently that said that people in, now don't quote me on the location, but I believe it was Taiwan, are having too much sex. Seems that the majority of people there are very active, more active than most other countries, but the 'medical professionals' believe it is not good for their health.
Now, I read something else just about a few weeks ago that said having sex frequently was good for both men and women. For men it apparently helps to prevent prostate cancer, for women it apparently helps to prevent cervical cancer. Not only that, it apparently helps balance your weight, helps your skin, and general overall feeling of well being. Of course in this we are talking about a monogamous relationship or protective (condom) sexual relations.
Aging is not what it used to be when it comes to the 'horizontal mambo', as Baby Boomers are proving. As they say "use it or lose it".

Anti-Aging: Can Food Help?
In this century the average life span of women and men has increased by 30% since the onset of industrialization and by over 300% since Neolithic times, yet we don't exactly know how or why aging occurs. We do know that aging is a function of cells ceasing to divide. Some scientists speculate that any given differentiated cell can only divide a fixed number of times (as opposed to a cancer cell, which is undifferentiated, and theoretically immortal in that it continues, unchecked, to divide).

Baby Boomers - Now An Orphan - continued
I talked to you the other day about feeling you are an orphan, yep even Baby Boomers feel it. Who would have thought that at this age we would feel such a loss. Of course not all do. It does depend on the relationship with our parents - doesn't it.
As I was telling you last time that I was going to share with you what it was like to have some of my parents 'treasures' (furniture) delivered 3 years after I became an orphan. Emotional - you bet.
My Mum died of breast cancer when I was 23. In truth that was when I felt like an orphan. My father and I did not communicate. He had been an abuser, in my memory as early as 6 months old, and continued until the day I escaped. But that is another story. He died 3 years ago.
So a few days ago a moving truck pulled up and delivered my now "orphan" furniture. Both parents are dead now and here comes the memories - in physical form. It is like ghosts that arrive and tell you that you are going to feel everything - something things that you had thought you had resolved and others that you had hoped to leave behind. Amazing that "orphan" furniture could do this to us Baby Boomers - isn't it!
I am still at the point of looking at this furniture, that has not been placed yet, and wanting to walk away 'cause of emotions that well up and also because of not wanting to go back to THOSE times. Know what I mean?
Have you 'been there down that'? Tell me your story.

Baby Boomers - Being An Orphan
Sounds kind of strange to say Baby Boomer and Orphan in the same sentence doesn't it - but it is happening. Boomers are getting to the age of losing their parents and finding that, yes, feeling like an orphan. Now I realize that Boomers who did not stay close to their parents will not feel the same 'tug at the heart string' when the last parent is gone, but for those who have the loss of the last parent does give you that feeling.
Along with that also comes the realization that we are 'next in line' in the evolution line. Yep, everything being equal we are the next ones to go. Not a pleasant thought is it?!
For most of us this means having a good look at our spirituality - questioning whether or not there is anything "after", though for a good percentage of people, including myself, we know there is more "after". If you are interested in some 'food for thought' on this subject do have a look at this article:
