I listened to her share how overwhelmed she’s … [Read more...] about Bringing More Joy And Happiness Into Your Life

An article in the local newspaper, "Director hopes to fight senior stigma" documented declining membership at a local senior center because it appears older people don't want to be labeled "seniors."
