We’ve teamed up Humana with tips on kicking YOUR Generation Encore into high, healthy gear with full page advertorial appearing in the August/September 2016 issues Real Simple, Cooking Light, Southern Living, Sunset, Coastal Living, Golf, and Money magazines! We were paid to appear and, as always, all opinions are our own.

My beloved Grandpa used to love the saying “health is wealth.”

As his caretaker while in my thirties, I was familiar with the phrase but never thought much about it.

Even when Grandpa would sweetly explain to me what the phrase meant to him and why I should take it to heart, I didn’t.

Sorry Grandpa, but I just didn’t get it.

I was young, energetic, and happily busy chasing three kids around. On top of running my own business and traveling to California as much as I could to help my stepdad care for my beautiful, dying mother.

Looking back at that time of my life, I’m not sure how I did it. David was out on the road for long, brutal stretches and the juggling got intense—it felt at times like there was not enough of me to go around.

I should have counted my blessings more. And my health was one of those blessings I rarely counted.

Now that I’m older and, hopefully, wiser (though I doubt I’ll ever reach Grandpa wise), I take eating right, staying active, and getting a good night’s sleep more seriously.

It’s simply impossible to keep up with the pace of my chosen lifestyle otherwise. Gone are those glory days of endless energy, and I’ve finally learned the importance of taking care of myself. I’m worthless to others otherwise.

Health IS wealth.

So, when Humana asked us to team up to help get the word out to Generation Encore (of which we are proud, card-carrying members—okay, there’s no card, but we’d carry one if there was!), we said HECK YEAH!

What an honor it is to share our story and tips in top magazines:

  1. Congratulations! Your parnership with Humana and the related publishing of your travel expertise in several mass market publications will make you even more famous than you already are! Enjoy the ride and again congratulations!

  2. Congratulations! You two are definitely active boomers! I thought I was active, but after watching (and reading about) you two, you put me to shame! This is why you look so young!

  3. Generation Encore is a new term to me but it makes sense. Staying active is most important which means we have to find a way – next to our travels – keep on exercising. Not easy!

  4. This is so true… health is wealth! We must take care of ourselves in order to keep up with the lifestyle we want and take necessary precautions. That includes eating well, getting adequate sleep and exercise to keep us active!
