As you may have heard, the 2018 Portland/ Vancouver edition of the Retirement Connection Guide will have an LGBTQ designated column within the community housing grids that will signify which communities are now accepting LGBTQ Elders. If your community is interested in becoming SAGE certified and would like more information on how to start the process of welcoming LGBTQ Elders, please follow this link to complete a 3 step process.

Additional Resources
There are so many resources included in Retirement Connection, that often a few may slip past you and may not be noticed. Did you know that the guide also includes:
“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't
have, you will never, ever have enough” ~ Oprah Winfrey
This summer I took 30 days to focus on gratitude. I found that verbalizing at least one thing that I was thankful for each day made me realize how abundant my life really is. Even as my best friend went onto hospice, I have been grateful for every extra day we have together. These past few months have changed me forever- for the better. Be grateful for at least one thing every day!
