Inspiration is a word synonymous with the arts and entertainment industry as the creative force behind musicians, singers, actors, producers, directors and anyone else responsible for the memorable moments on the stage and screen. In his new book, Many Faces of Inspiration, Antony Jeffrey cosies up with many of the talented and creative minds in the arts industry to reveal aspects of their lives and work which were otherwise unknown. A leading fi gure in the Australian arts industry himself, Jeffrey has spectacularly managed to convey insights into the thoughts of 29 well- known artistic professionals. For this edition of The Retiree I was lucky enough to chat to one of the ‘faces of inspiration’, Wendy Blacklock, who rose to fame as an actress before becoming a successful producer. Having just recently retired from the limelight, Wendy shared with us her plans for retirement and her most memorable achievements from more than half a century being involved in the Australian arts industry. You can read Wendy’s story on page 5. To read more about the inspirational people in Jeffrey’s book visit www.manyfacesofi nspiration.com. If you’re looking for something new to experience, Steve Freeth has recommended Canberra and the spectacular Floriade Festival as the perfect start to spring. Rod Young discusses aged care and independence in the digital age, insisting that Australia must develop a multitude of innovative tools and technologies to support older people to sustain their health and care needs. To help you stay healthy during the winter months, Accredited Practising Dietitian Melanie McGrice explains which nutritional supplements are best for you. Paul Giles explains the steps involved with making sure you purchase the right insurance product to cover assets like your home, car, and furnishings. Sally Thompson discusses why you should keep your mind active after 2 THE RETIREE WINTER retirement, and says no matter what type of learner you are, there is a course, class or learning environment made for you. Along with education, getting involved with your local community is another way to keep your mind and body active. Amanda Everton reports that with over 5.4 million adult Australians volunteering, and a variety of volunteer roles on offer, it’s a great time to consider becoming involved. On the fi nancial front, Terri Loy from RBS Morgans discusses that, like investors, SMSF trustees should start to fi nalise their yearend fi nancial planning strategies. She says that preparation is the key to success and that it’s not too late for Trustees to play catch up with their paperwork, ensuring minutes of meetings are up to date, contributions are accounted for and pension payments are paid in accordance with minimum requirements’, as leaving these things to the last minute could lead to unintended consequences. With the regular columns about your health, relationships, and what’s new in books, fi lms, food and wine that has been jam-packed into this issue, we hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed putting it all together.
