You Can Change the World

Posted by admin on Apr 10, 2014 in Elderhood, Leave a legacy, Re imagine your life, Re-invent yourself, Renew your spirit, Third Age | 0 comments Two days ago I wrote about the power you have to make a difference. What if you could change the world? What if you knew you could not fail? It’s not that the great leaders throughout history knew they could not fail. They didn’t know that. What they did know is that they would not allow failure to stop them. They would fall and get back up, fail and try again. They had that gleam in their eyes,...

TV or Not TV

Posted by admin on Apr 9, 2014 in Elderhood, Re imagine your life, Re-invent yourself, Renew your marriage, Renew your spirit, Third Age | 0 comments As the title might suggest, my husband and I have made a fateful decision. We have decided “Not TV”. This started when he came home one evening and announced he didn’t want to watch TV. “I don’t want to watch other people’s lives.

Grandma’s Prayer Book

Posted by admin on Mar 28, 2014 in Elderhood, Leave a legacy, Renew your spirit, Third Age | 0 comments Did you ever think about the powerless feeling of being confined to a nursing home? I didn’t think so. Most of us give as little thought as possible to this idea. Today my hairdresser told me this amazing story. Her husband’s grandmother was living in a nursing home, feeling very powerless, when an idea struck her. I’m not sure whose idea it was—maybe hers, maybe one of her children. She hit on...

Remember Gloria (This is what 50 looks like)? Every decade she has repeated the mantra. And what do you suppose she is doing to celebrate this birthday? Did you say “Riding elephants in Botswana?” Well, you would be correct. Gloria has long been one of my idols. She has been beautiful at all ages, so articulate and always for the cause of women...
