Ahhhh Spring!

We love the season, not only for its beauty, but for the symbolism that comes with it.

It's the season of new beginnings and personal growth, two experiences to cozy up to in the second half of life.

When people you love begin to need your help, or you begin to experience your own changes, it can be easy to lose yourself in the process.

Many aging and/or dementia related changes require us to change, and sometimes force you to create new beginnings.

It becomes more important than ever to know what makes you feel authentic and fully engaged in life.

While there are a number of resources we could share with you, we want to focus on one of our favorites we use when coaching our clients.

The VIA Institute on Character spent years researching and can now scientifically identify the strongest parts of your personality...the "real you" that you use to get positive results in your life.

So, why does knowing the "real you" matter?

Understanding your organic strengths and applying them on purpose will help you:

• Increase your happiness
• Boost your confidence
• Strengthen your relationships
• Manage your problems
• Reduce your stress or duress
• Accomplish new goals
• And build more meaning and purpose to every day life
