Wishing everyone a happy summer and Make Music 2019 Day on June 21st.

By the way, I have a new program from Suzanne O'Brien about "peace of mind' about end of life planning' that may be very helpful. I think we can help many people by addressing many points she offers in her intro talk (or the whole program) which is discounted for those hearing the talk for 72 hours.... I have taken other programs with her for End Of LIfe Doula training and encourage more people to learn early and often about 'all sorts of things' that are important to know long before you need them.

There really should

 In case you are an person coming into your later 50s or early 60s or beyond  check out a helpful website on CT Senior Law, www.czepigalaw.com. They cover many helpful points about aging (the nuts and bolts of how to be prepared for various challenges and changes, legal ins and outs and reasons to have a consult with an elder law attorney, ideally someone versed in medicaid or Title 19 as well.) People are living longer, and some say 120 will be the new 90.

That we were built to last that long. Many are making it to their 80s and 90s and thankfully mostly in good health. But not all.

Among the many wild or wonderful ways to celebrate turning another decade especially 40 (or 50), how many are pursuing new careers or life paths in ministry? How about promoting peace and healing as part of one's life work? Maybe it's fairly common to consider the Possibiity of doing so. Likely many volunteer in a soup kitchen or treat someone to dinner, make an effort to donate time, talent or treasure.

Taking a more serious step toward a public commitment and outreach is not for the faint of heart.
