BEST LIFE TIPS: THE AARP CONVENTION DELIVERS!

“Live Your Best Life” is this year’s theme. From sex to success…from service to serenity…from fitness to finance, the compelling topics of the AARP “Orlando@ 50+” conference aim to please. When I am no longer in sessions, networking or speaking about JOY AFTER FIFTY, I will  provide you with a taste of the various topics presented, including:

  • “Your Life Calling” with Jane Pauley
  • A cruise with numerous single accomodations and lovely social areas
  • A deeply moving service project created for pediatric cancer research
  • The effects of multitasking on the aging brain (hint, hint…don’t!)
  • An online weight loss program women rave about

In the time I have right now, in between appointments, I’d like to share why I’m  glad I came:

  • The speakers understand me!
  • I feel right at home with thousands of strangers.
  • I don’t feel slow.
  • When I ask someone to read something for me because my glasses are in my purse, they don’t shoot me an impatient “poor dear” look.
  • When I forgot a woman’s name right after I’d met her, we laughed as though we shared a common secret.
  • We women, though strangers, exchange knowing smiles as if to say, “We’ve never met but I know you”.

I won’t make you groan by telling of the man who expressed a strong interest in me, actually seemed normal, lives not far from me in California AND…as I am planning where we’ll go on our first date (haha), he floors me with an outrageous sexually inappropriate comment.  That’s ok…

I am having a great time. Wish you were here. Stay tuned for more!
