Flexibility is the Backbone of Resilience
One of my clients wants to plan a trip to France. The problem is she cannot remember to prepare a daily meal. Hunger reminds her. Taking medications becomes a complicated memory skill. Foreign travel takes energy, problem solving, and currency conversion to mention a few tasks that require cognitive proficiency. The fantasy of a trip to France gets stuck in a loop of desire in her mind.

About Diane Dennis
The Age Well Expert
I have spent most of my adult life working on self-improvement through self-awareness, and transforming through personal experiences, like loss, love and grief.
As I get older I have added aging well protocols to my list of goals. Over a decade ago I took up a passion sport, sort of by accident. I moved to a house along the Willamette River, complete with a boat dock. So, naturally I bought a boat. It was this action that led to a crash course—literally!—in wakeboarding and discovering my love for water sports, swimming, sun and fun. You see, I did not learn as a child, how to play. Learning to play was one of the biggest age well actions I could have ever learned. Laughter and play are the turbo charged super ingredients in the fountain of forever young.
Around this time, an editor was looking for women to feature in a book. I submitted my bio and next thing I knew I was picked to be one of 50 women featured in Marlo Thomas’s book ‘It Ain’t Over, Til It’s Over’, about women who have reinvented themselves, defied odds, and began to live their best lives.
Reinventing oneself is a lifetime goal that is in constant flux. We are often shedding our old identities, selves, orientations, labels and roles. To intentionally step into a new way of being, believing, living and playing is a journey that can be liberating, exciting, and most importantly fun! I am a huge believer in Fun!
On this page you will find my blogs about aging well, lifestyle tips, healthcare science, and thoughts on how to be your personal best! I took another reinvention leap in 2020 that was born from a personal experience. After losing four family members in three short years, and being recruited by my family for their care and medical needs, I felt directed to reinstate my RN license. Back to school in 2020? I never would have believed it. While the Covid-19 pandemic shut down the world, I took to running 2 miles a day and went back to school!
Through this transformation, I am once again reinventing myself and learning how to love through healing and upholding others in poor health, disease, disorders and aging. I now have even more tools to help you!
Let’s learn together and Live Well to become our Personal Best at any age. It is Never Too Late.
