Relationships: How Friendships are
the Key to Happiness |
||
Having good friends is one of the greatest joys in life. We need others to laugh and lament with and we crave the energizing connections that allow us to share our inner lives and feel less alone when life gets tough. “Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light,” said Helen Keller, the American author and disability rights activist. |

Five Ways to Yoga Your Way to By Vivienne Singer |
||
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m not flexible enough to practice yoga,” you’re not alone. You are, however, mistaken. If we were supposed to be as flexible as those Yogis we see striking warrior poses while balancing on one tippy toe, few of us would think about ’practicing’ yoga. After all, we’d be great at it. |

A Tale of Two Families - Bay Bulls’ By Pat Brennan |
||
Ottawa’s Department of Transport thought it was some kind of April Fool’s Day joke. The O’Briens and the Gatheralls were asking for a mutual licence to operate a 100-passenger tour boat to watch whales, Puffins, and huge icebergs gather along the southeast shore of Newfoundland. |

The Importance of a Balanced Diet |
||
Everyone can benefit from eating healthy food and maintaining a well-balanced diet. For seniors, this is especially important. According to the AARP, 60% of seniors are more likely to experience depression because of food insecurity. Older adults without elderly care and assisted living can suffer from more severe negative health effects that come with a nutrient-poor diet. These can include weight issues, lowered immunity, cognition problems and weak muscles, joints and bones. |

Planning your Estate: By Luisa Rollenhagen |
||
“…in this world, nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes” Ben Franklin, 1789. While many families treat death as a taboo subject, it is nonetheless important to be ready for its inevitability. In fact, recent studies have shown that 50% of Canadians and Americans don’t have a will. This can lead to a number of consequences, including the uneven distribution of the estate left behind. Estate planning has a number of benefits, saving your family both time and money. Here is why estate planning is so important. |
