One of the greatest gifts Pink Lady( now 88) gives the world is how she challenges stigmas about ageing that seniors face on a regular basis. She has become a powerful voice of today’s 60+ community, that challenges skeptics and proves that it’s “absolutely possible to be vital, creative, enthusiastic, energetic, sexy, and “shout-out” fantastic.” Senior Star Power Productions produced fifteen musical reviews, including “Rockin’ With The Ages,” “The Beat Goes On” and “We Have a Dream.” These musical reviews feature the only talent that is 60+; some have extensive experience in stage, film, and TV industry; some are newcomers. Her shows are nothing short of bursting with talent!
See says “You don’t stop laughing, you still grow old because you stop laughing”
Life is a wonderful experience, and with a blueprint already to go, we can use every single second of it to our advantage. We should be grateful just to be here…now…with the ability to grow older with our friends family and all grand children, Part of Getting up and Getting Out, is learning to live again by opening new doors and finding exciting adventures and beautiful relationships. I believe the best investment you will ever make in your whole life is in investing in your self- at this time in your life.
Ester Shifren is a Poet, Artist, Musician, Author and a woman of exuberance in her young 83 years. She has written a poem every day of Covid19 and her positive energy gives us hope and lifts us up to greater heights.
When writing poems and giving vent I feel my gift is heaven sent. The saying goes, “There’s none so blind”… If I may only change ONE mind Then I’ll continue on my quest, NEVER will I stop to rest! Many are now opening eyes—-they took a while to realize. The one they worshipped, idolized, was not the one they should have prized. As long as I have words that flow, I’ll vent—my hat into the rink I’ll throw! Seek the truth that sets you free—do research–not just from me! Don’t spend your life in misery because you voted abysmally. Be strong, just change, it’s not too late—your vote can change the hand of fate. If you’re honest, have heart and brain, you’ll see these leaders inflicted pain. On many of our brethren—admit it! Change your party—bravely quit it! Please don’t miss it—make a note. November—soon—they’ll count your VOTE!
Life in a day of Ester.
No one’s coming over so I’m just not dusting much– can almost write my name on every surface that I touch! I live between two freeways and sometimes have to sneeze– the fault of dust brought in by every wayward breeze. My time is mostly hijacked by computer, iPad, phone– result of spending too much time at home and all alone! And sometimes I feel wonderful, but sometimes I do not, and then I readjust to count the blessings that I’ve got. I have friends with difficulties so much beyond repair! It balances my thinking and reduces my despair. And think of all those seniors who live on high up floors, with long and darkened passages leading to their doors. I’m lucky that my building, though convent-like, is small, and when my neighbors walk, or swim, I can see them all! The antidote for me has been, (and maybe you?), I’m certain, Creative ways of staying in touch ’til Covid’s final curtain.
I was born in China, Hong Kong to be exact We really were from Shanghai—and that’s a real fact. The Japanese were fighting the Chinese at that time My mother left to safe Hong Kong—where conditions weren’t sublime We then returned to Shanghai, but then during World War Two The Japanese interned us, our fears for safety grew! We, and other Allies, were prisoners of war And suffered deprivations we’d never had before. Three years of isolation were serious and sad So I’m comparing Covid—and both are mighty bad! But I am free, not punished, as then, enduring war. So I’ll still count my blessings—each day—and pray for more! But, just can’t understand the ones who fail to wear a mask Endangering all—and seniors. I’M NOT AFRAID TO ASK.
That day when we left China, I was just a teen. We moved to nascent Israel, to times I’d never seen. The war had stripped our family of comforts we once knew, We left with very little—our possessions were so few.
Canada refused us, $10,000 was their fee— Australia said, “Our quota’s full.” Just Israel was free. We quarantined at first, then moved into a tent, A transit camp facility—where most newcomers went. We had no running water in our tent or, later, hut. We showered using hoses—I was viewed as teenage nut! But we were free—and many strangers became friends. It was a real melting pot, all colors and all blends. Languages were barriers, but somehow we survived, Living with so many of the recently-arrived From Europe, and the Middle East, their stories full of pain… Food was scarce, and rationed, it didn’t help us to complain! But soon the Hebrew language was getting to be heard— A marvel! We shared stories, always searching for a word. And now I’ll end this chapter and continue ‘nother day. I hope that you will join me as I travel on my way.

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Annie Gottwald, on air from October 20th
Annie’s “Why”
At the beginning of COVID, I became a single mother of 7. My significant other not only left but he took the family business with him. I had one month to find a job or figure out a way to monetize an income and support the family that was relying on me and I did not know what I was going to do.
Instead of panicking, I decided to hit the pause button and look around to see what I already had that I could monetize. My oldest daughter and I started discussing what was going on in the world and what skills she and I both had and then this idea came into her head about how artists use reels to audition and not just a resume. They share themselves and their talents before they even get a call. Why was the business world not doing this same thing? We needed to make it.
The purpose and benefit of My Resume Reel is to help the 20Million unemployed workers stand out among a sea of over-saturated candidates and to help recruiters shorten their recruitment time exponentially. They get to meet, see, relate to & understand the type of person that the job seeker is before they even make a call or get on a social media site.
Anne is a mother of 7, an entrepreneur and former fortune 500 leader who has spent countless hours recruiting, hiring, training, mentoring, leading and teaching other leaders how to hire the right talent for the right positions. She built her own career around empowering people to reach their best career potential by highlighting their unique talents and going after the passions that are on their hearts.
Anne has designed resumes and cover letters for over 15 years and when the great pandemic of 2019 hit and millions were losing their jobs, she knew that a resume was no longer enough and that she had to help. So, she and her daughter invented My Resume Reel™.
Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from October 13th
AUTUMN, (FALL) IS A BEAUTIFUL TIME OF YEAR, BUT IT IS ALSO DEATH OF A SEASON AND ALL OUR TREES ETC. Is death so bad? not when it means time to reflect, in the winter to renew again in the spring.
We see beauty in in life, but why can’t we see the beauty in an ending? Even in death we are still transitioning, life is a full circle, always new chapters, always renewing its self. Let us go with nature and let this chapter of our life die, so we can seed a new so the spring can renew us in new opportunities.
