I believe it’s important to maintain a balance of caring for yourself and others.
This issue of INSPIRED is all about charitable work and how we can aid others and support worthy causes. I heartily endorse every charity you see mentioned in these pages and hope you will take the time to support them with a donation.
At the same time, we can’t forget about self-care – ensuring that you have what you need to feel cared for and complete.
It doesn’t matter what the circumstances are – a busy career, caring for family, recovering from an illness or a loss of some kind – it’s easy to neglect yourself while caring for others or dealing with challenging situations. I’ve been there.
If you recognize that you could use some TLC to get yourself back into balance and start caring for yourself a little more, I’d like to invite you to apply to be one of our three candidates receiving a makeover at our upcoming 55+ Lifestyle Show on March 19, 2024.
The makeover includes hair styling, makeup, clothes fitting, a facial and a manicure.
If you would like to restart your self-care process, please send me an email with your reasons for wanting the makeover, along with a current photo. You must be 55+, have shoulder length hair or longer, and be willing to put yourself totally in the hands of our makeover stylists.
We will pamper you over several days, and you will appear in front of our 55+ Lifestyle Show audience in March. You will be featured in the magazine with a write-up and photos.
We can only choose three candidates, so get your application in ASAP to publisher@seniorlivingmag.com
Other news…
This month, INSPIRED Magazine will begin publishing every second month. This change will provide more time to put together content and give the magazine a longer shelf life.
Also, this month, we are launching a podcast. Retired radio personalities Michael Forbes and Lisa Marshall are collaborating with INSPIRED to bring some of our feature articles to life. The first podcast kicks off with an interview with Dave Sinclair, a beloved community figure, retired veteran and tireless advocate of affordable senior housing. If you enjoy the article about Dave in this issue, you’ll love listening as Michael and Lisa engage him in conversation. Check it out at www.seniorlivingmag.com/podcast
As I bring 2023 to a close with this final issue, I want to say how blessed I have been to have shared 20 years of my life’s work with you. I hope 2024 will continue to build upon the foundation that has been laid and that we will find new and better ways to connect and be there for one another.
