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

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.
