Key to Boomers’ Health & Happiness Lies in Curiosity

Children are born curious; it’s how they learn about the world. But studies show that adulthood, parenting and job responsibilities, anxiety, and more, strain our resources, and we often find we “don’t have time” for curiosity.

In his 2010 book, Curious, author, and researcher at The Well-Being Lab, Todd Kashdan, asked, “What is essential to creating a fulfilling life?” Extensive research into this question revealed that Being Curious is an essential element to attaining what we seek: health (cognitive and physical), life satisfaction, and happiness.

Fall FUN for Active Adults

Maybe you’ve heard about “embracing your inner child,” but you aren’t sure what that is or how to go about it.

This month, we’re all about your inner child – having fun, staying curious, dreaming big, learning something new, finding the beauty in every day, and practicing kindness.

Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?

Oh, The Place You Will Live...

Active Adults and Wellness Awareness

August is National Wellness Month, during which individuals reflect on and balance their total wellness for a healthier, more satisfying life.

“Wellness” goes beyond staying active and eating well. According to the National Wellness Institute, there are Six Dimensions of Wellness on which we need to focus to achieve a happy, healthy lifestyle.

Active Adults Personalize Homes To Suit Their Lifestyle

When searching for a home, savvy buyers do their research to ensure they work with a reputable builder who uses quality products and employs a team of experts from construction to sales to closing and warranty.

After choosing a floor plan and home site, the most exciting (and perhaps nerve-wracking) step is meeting with the design professional to personalize your home.

Active Adults Inspired by Olympic Athletes

The Summer Olympic Games opens this Friday, July 23, in Tokyo, Japan, a year after the event was postponed due to the global pandemic.

While things are not perfect (there are no spectators, athletes and their teams of coaches and trainers are mostly sequestered, and several athletes have been quarantined after testing positive for the virus), we can learn a lot from the spirit of the Olympics:

Space to Fulfill Every Boomer’s Dream (Without Blasting Off in a Rocket)

On Sunday, July 11, Sir Richard Branson fulfilled a lifelong dream to fly to space, experiencing weightlessness for about four minutes of the hour-long flight, and earning him the designation of “astronaut.”

Everyone has dreams that often seem out of reach, and this generation of Active Adults seems intent upon fulfilling as many as possible.

In Search of the Next Windsong Community

For most, when thinking about the homebuilding process, construction, architecture, and design are the first things that come to mind. But long before these components take shape, there’s a team at Windsong in search of the perfect location for the next community to grow. Henry Massie, director of land acquisitions at Windsong, is responsible for finding ideal locales with everything you could want in a neighborhood: natural beauty, convenience, amenities, nearby shopping, and more, so homebuyers only need to focus on the right floorplan and design choices when selecting a home.
