A Message From Your WH Cornerstone Team
|
|
Hello Friend!
We all have a lot on our minds lately with the war in Ukraine, inflation and the volatility of the stock market. We invite you to read messages we've sent as tensions started to mount and when the invasion started in Ukraine. Join us in pray for peace in our world.
Part of our mission is to help our clients grow their wealth and the other part is to ensure that they are prepared for life's curve balls. We are excited to share that we will be hosting a virtual Conversation Circle on March 23. The topic is The Gift of Preparedness. We will focus on the importance of being prepared in case of the worst.
What exactly is a Conversation Circle? It is an opportunity for us all to come together and have authentic discussions about important topics. These are guided group conversations where participants are encouraged to share their experiences, insights, questions, and more, in a safe space. The program is appropriate for couples, as well as individuals. You can register here.
If you have ideas for future Conversation Circle topics, send us a message.
Cheers,
p.s. If you missed last month's newsletter, read it here.

Nourishment for one: When the small things are not that small
Food is not something we necessarily associate with widowhood. Sure, grief can affect a person's appetite, but we often don't realize what a big role food plays in our romantic relationships until something happens to throw off the dynamic. In our blog, we explain further and offer up some ways for you to nourish yourself.

Chapter 3. Overcoming obstacles
In chapter 3 of 'Rise Up: A Widow's Journal,' we explore overcoming obstacles. As a widow, you are learning to navigate all “the firsts,” and they can be challenging. One day you might feel like you are moving forward, and then the next it’s two steps backward. It can be frustrating, but trust the process and know that each day you are making progress, even if it doesn't feel like it.
Next time you have a setback, ask yourself, "how can I better navigate this situation?"

What financial risks are you underestimating in retirement?
Like any other phase of life, retirement is not risk-free. While it is seen as our reward for many years of hard work, it still carries exposure to what is happening out in the world. There are three areas in particular where retirees often underestimate the risk. Here, Bill Harris takes a closer look at them.
