I love all of yours. I have heard this before and I needed to be reminded of it today. My sweet sister-in-law sent it to me and I will make that intention today as well , and hopefully many other days. Bless 🧓

Very good advice on aging. I realized that I try to restore the capabilities I remember having when I need to observe my current capabilities and focus on what I can still do. I need to meet myself where I am.

At age 68, I am experiencing enough change in my body that the usual compassion and gratitude can be pushed aside by loss or even resentment. I usually reclaim the more equanimous perspective soon enough, but it takes work. Sometimes it's difficult to summon that energy. So, I'm saving this recording as a favorite so that I can simply follow your voice, letting you guide me to that place of full-hearted acceptance. Thank you for taking the time to create this recording. I anticipate using it off and on over the coming years. I appreciate the words and ideas that you offer here, but the friendliness of your voice is my favorite part of this recording.

Informative course. Made me realise how much I enjoy retirement and I wonder now how I had time to do a boring day job when there is so much I enjoy doing and my day is full now with hobbies and exercise classes

Having just ‘graduated’ from this course, I leave it with the highest recommendation and look forward to returning. Jeffrey has created a course full of thought provoking content, real examples of what it looks and feels like when we retire, and how to (un)retire with 3 days of powerful suggestions and questions which are actionable. This course was very timely for me, Jeffrey, and I sincerely thank you for taking the time to create this content. As requested, my Pillar of Vitality is to extend my love of nature by exploring birdwatching with my grandchildren, both in the backyard wooded area, and out on some lovely trails with a new set of binoculars for us to take! 😊💙🦉🪶

I turned 71 this month, I really needed to hear your message. We take so much for granted. I look forward to living this new phase of my life.... slowly, noticing more, appreciating more.
