Dear Reader,

I hope this message finds you well. I am happy to share with you my new look and logo.

After much thought and introspection, I have adopted a new tagline, “Care to Age.” This  simple phrase sums up everything I believe in and do in terms of my purpose in helping others.

The colours are two of my favourites (purple and turquoise) and the active-looking figure is symbolic of arms wide-open, lending a hand, and joyous celebration of life.

Care – Is what I put into everything I do.

• I care about helping others age well.
• I care about everything to do with aging.
• I care for the caregiver.
• I care about those who are on the journey of growing older.

Age – Is a commonality we all share.

• Aging is something we are all doing from the day we are born.
• Aging is a concept that we can be optimistic, yet realistic about.
• Aging can come with its challenges and also has its benefits, too.
• Aging is something we can have more control over if we take care.

Some may see this phrase, Care to Age, and think, “Do I care to age? No thank you.” To those I would say, “It’s better than the alternative.” 🙂

Age well, my friend.
