"Just a quick note to tell you I think your telesummit,  with the most amazing speakers, is fantastic!  I know there are 2 more days, but it has been extremely enlightening and the quality of the information and delivery so far is fabulous.  

I especially resonated with Tina Lifford's concept of "Inner Fitness" and the importance of cultivating skills of resilience and optimism. Her message and examples were terrific.  As I rushed home from exercise class to hear her, I realized I do not spend anywhere near the time on inner fitness as I do on physical fitness.  

Dr. Jen Palmer answered so many questions I have had (what supplements do we really need and why), and having her be specific with dosage and brands both during her presentation and then on your website was so appreciated.  The idea that "Being Sedentary is equivalent to Smoking" (not sure I quoted correctly) in relation to oxygen getting to the brain and body was a real eye opener.  She has such a lovely delivery – it was like you were sitting in her office and she was talking just to you.

And how I adored today hearing the "Professional Age-Esteem Bonnie Fatio".  The first item on my list you asked us to make "What do I love about being 67 (my age)" is that now that I am retired, I have the time to call in to a conference which is uplifting, motivating, thought provoking, stimulating and hopefully so good that I truly incorporate the new information in my daily life.  I always take away so many ideas from your presentations ("Spam your negative thoughts", give a specific name to your fears, YOU are in the Driver's Seat of your life).  

Thank you Bonnie Fatio for all you do to energize everyone with whom you come in contact.  I know you worked hours to create this telesummit.  What a gift to listeners and readers (I copied some of the free material and will send to friends).

Looking forward to the next 2 speakers!" – Diana Johnson, Arizona, USA

I love the term Age Esteem because it has such a positive image. I have always hated the term “anti-aging”, because it implies the natural process of aging is a negative event that should be avoided and fought against. That creates an unreasonable pressure to try to look younger than we are, and to even pretend we are younger than we are.

Personally, I believe we should embrace the gifts that come with getting older and consider life to be a great adventure. For me, every decade gets better and better! Age Esteem brings to mind confidence, wisdom and strength. The term is a great reminder as to how we should feel, at any age, especially as women.

My personal conerns? For the most part, I look forward to getting older because life gets better every year! I think as long as we have our mental and physical health, we can create a great quality of life for ourselves whether we are 30 or 80. So my biggest concerns would be losing my memory, or having difficulty walking, because those would present challenges (but not roadblocks) for living the kind of life that I imagine.

Jen's tips: My focus is on creating a lifestyle that promotes health for myself and my husband, while still enjoying some splurges here and there. We try to get a good dose of activity and exercise through the week, eat lots of veggies and whole foods, and take supplements. It’s all about balance and moderation. And have fun, because that keeps us youthful and positive about life.

We have plenty of inspiration because we live in an area of Florida that has a large senior population, and the majority of the people we meet are fit and happy. Every day, I see people in their 70s and 80s playing tennis, walking, and swimming- sometimes better and farther than I can! So my assumption is that I will be one of those happy, healthy seniors when the time comes, as long as I take care of myself.
