WHO AM I?
To share my qualifications in launching a movement toward conscious aging....... my career has been long, as a teacher of one thing or another. Reflecting back, I recognize all of my jobs have been aligned with my own personal life, and each one had to do with bringing people together for learning, and most often, fun.
Teaching has been my passion, starting with opening a nursery school for my four-year-old, and then, one teaching opportunity led to the next, again, always following my life’s journey. As the years went by, now beyond the mid-eighties, my last and probably final career-change has been initiating, “Angelena’s A New Aging Movement”, offering tools on how to grow old, while doing our best to stay healthy and happy.

Beauty and the Aging BeastWe have all probably heard someone remark, “She must have been a real beauty when she was younger” or “I bet he use to be a good looking man, back then.”
Our societal attitudes regarding physical beauty tend to inform the way we regard aging and the accompanying “loss of beauty.” For most boomers and beyond, we no longer have skin that is taut and smooth, hair full and shining, a flat belly or a thin waistline. Gone are those days. |
The Summer of HateHate is a strong word and, like love, it is used too often, casually in everyday conversation. “I hate the heat; I love the beach.” But this summer, perhaps more than any other, hate is felt for “the other side”, those people who do not agree with our beliefs and our set of values.
We as a nation are so divided, it’s makes you question what happened to our American pledge of allegiance, “one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." |
How to be Resillient I like that word, resilient, the way it rolls off my tongue. Although resiliency is not a word commonly used, the definition is closely related to the more familiar yoga-like principles of staying flexible and pliable and bending deeply.
This topic of resiliency is, in fact, becoming more popular. Just recently it has been explored with some depth in a series of published articles in The New York Times, looking at how do we build the resilience necessary to weather setbacks and navigate life’s volatility. |
