Yesterday, SEA (Shoreline Eldercare Alliance) presented its first annual Celebration of Healthy Aging. The Village at Mariner’s Point, in East Haven, CT, was a gracious host to over 300 attendees at this free event. Informative seminars, delicious food from the Village and local restaurants, music, dance, demonstrations, a raffle, and an engaging lecture filled a schedule with something for everyone. The event was a great success. Thank you to all who donated, sponsored, and supported in so many ways. See you next year!

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of meeting Anne Maxfield, the founder and chief visionary officer of It’s All About Aging, LLC. The name of the company and the company website, itsallaboutaging.com, really do say it all. There is loads of information, and more to come on all sorts of issues related to your aging and your loved ones’ aging. And Anne’s blog has some great insights on topics related to aging. Check it out!

I am honored and humbled by my election to the Board of Directors of the New England Chapter of the Association for Conflict Resolution. The Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR) is the international professional organization for mediators. The New England Chapter of ACR (NE-ACR) serves mediators (as well as facilitators and arbitrators) in the New England region. I look forward to working with this dedicated group of professionals.

Each year, April 2 is recognized as Reconciliation Day. The idea was launched by Ann Landers, the late advice columnist, who saw that mending fences — even if those fences had been broken for a long time — could be a good thing for those involved.
Conflict resolution can involve reconciliation, a clean break, or some other customized approach. Both the process of resolving the conflict and the fact of laying it to rest can be very valuable to the parties.
Three cheers to Ann Landers and her successors at Annie’s Mailbox for creating and continuing Reconciliation Day!
