Enjoying an active and engaged life, one that provides you with opportunities to grow and learn, is important for all of us. But it’s especially crucial as we grow older. Engaging in positive activity on a regular basis promotes brain health. It also helps to prevent or delay the onset of medical issues linked with isolation and loneliness, such as depression, diabetes, heart disease, and more.

October brings fall colors with changing leaves, but you will also find pink ribbons prominent in this month to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month. One in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. In 2023, an estimated 297,790 women and 2,800 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Chances are, you know at least one person who has been personally affected by breast cancer. I have experienced this personally as my mother was diagnosed in her 60’s, and I have a niece who was diagnosed in her 30’s.
