I recently changed my healthcare provider from a naturopath to a “mainstream” PPO medical provider. After a trip to a "regular" MD, I felt I knew more than she did about nutrition and how food affects the body. The one issue I can't hack is better sleep. I thought I'd discuss it with the doctor to see her suggestions. I made it clear medication was NOT going to be my … [Read more...] about Be an Empowered Patient

Be Kind To Those Who Are Hurting
While traveling the social media highway, I encountered many ideas, assumptions, and attitudes about older people, and few of them were positive. The other day, I was disheartened by disrespectful comments directed at an entertainer in his nineties. This remarkable individual stood on stage, microphone in hand, bravely singing the familiar lyrics to a song I've enjoyed for … [Read more...] about Be Kind To Those Who Are Hurting
The Way We Were
Remember when "Casual Friday" began? The actual date doesn't matter. What is important is that it started a downward spiral of all things beautiful and classy.

It was painful to let it go. Many seniors suffer from depression, which … [Read more...] about When What You Love Is Gone

Among topics my friend and I spoke of, this … [Read more...] about Denial

You know, a place where like-minded older people can sit around the virtual fire, be comfortable in their skin, and praise the Lord, all at the same time! Now, experience with these types of … [Read more...] about Well, Shiver Me Timbers ! I Found A Great Group — Or Did I?
A Quick Summary of Fatal Dangers Facing America
We have had our second Coup here in America. We are about to lose our freedom. The first Coup occurred in 1963 when JFK was murdered by our government, by the CIA, FBI and the then VP, Johnson. That has led us to today. The second was the blatant theft of the 2020 election. The same groups are involved. Since then, we are ruled by an unelected Junta in DC. The patriots … [Read more...] about A Quick Summary of Fatal Dangers Facing America
