Road Map to Successful Aging: Coming to Terms
Join the show! On Monday, May 19, we will present a discussion on the Road Map to Successful
Aging: Coming to Terms. Featured guests include Donna
Schempp and Rabbi Eric Weiss.
Is it all in our genes or is there something we can do to age gracefully? Part one of the two part series looked at the practical concerns to ensure that aging is as planned and purposeful as other stages of our lives. Part two is all about "getting over, getting older" and how to enjoy life regardless of what age you are!
