Fifty Ain't What it Used to Be
Let’s talk about making 50 look good.
Monday was our
Magazine’s March/April Cover interview,
caregiver advocate and ballroom dance diva, Leeza Gibbons 50th
birthday. How did
she celebrate? Oh, you know the usual - by dancing the Mambo for
30 million viewers on “Dancing with the Stars”. Last year, if
memory serves, I celebrated my 50th by counting the
additional creaks and groans my body made as I got out of bed (an increase of about 15%, for those who are interested.)
As Leeza glided effortlessly across the
stage and my television screen Monday night, I marveled at how
much easier it had gotten to turn 50 in my day (way back when).
As an added benefit,
Leeza the Mambo dancer turned back into Leeza the caregiver
advocate during the post-dance interview. It was nice to hear
the words, “family caregiver” on a glitzy Hollywood television
program. By the way, Monday was Leeza’s mom, Jean’s birthday as
well. After her
diagnosis, Jean also took to the airwaves to help educate the
general public about Alzheimer’s
disease.
We look forward to
seeing you at our first ever Miami Fearless Caregiver Conference
tomorrow. If you are not able to join us in (hopefully) sunny
South Florida, don’t worry, we will be once again traveling
around the country with the Fearless Caregiver Tour and look
forward to seeing you in a town near you real soon.
Take
care
