@DavidPerlmutter A small handful of almonds or a piece of fruit.
As a member of @CIRKEL_world, I have the opportunity to learn from and be inspired by leaders in intergenerational programming and activism. It's fascinating and I know this session on digital nomads will be fantastic! #intergenerational #ageism #lifelonglearning
Great piece in @CNBC on the rise of van lifers working remotely during the pandemic and beyond. See you at our event on digital nomads next week! register on our site: cirkel.co/events cnbc.com/2021/06/20/van…
@CIRKEL_world @CNBC So looking forward to this!
@penguinrandom I'm finishing The Thorn Birds and starting Shuggie Bain!
@SproutsN @GensUnited @HudsonLabSchool Your presentation was excellent, Joanne! I loved learning more about the intergenerational programs you're providing. It's such wonderful work!
@GensUnited @DOROTUSA This was a fabulous session and the video had such a beautiful message about using trauma to help/heal others.
@SproutsN @HudsonLabSchool Love this! I just glanced at the yearbooks on my book shelf yesterday. Having the residents sign their yearbooks will provide special memories for those students!
@MHynesPDX @EncoreOrg I'm attending as well....so looking forward to it!
@Nelba_MG @BreneBrown Thank you. My sister commit suicide just over 18 months ago and between a dysfunctional family reeking of toxic positivity and COVID, I've found grief very isolating and seemingly endless.
While it's been exciting to watch #diversityinclusion be prioritized in corporate America and beyond, #ageism remains largely overlooked. #wisdom and #expertise developed during years of career experience cannot be manufactured in younger #generations. aarp.org/work/working-a….
@eliistender10 Yes, my depression has reared it's ugly head in the last week and it's hard to find the motivation to persevere.
@SproutsN Wasn't it a fantastic film? Loved each and every story...
@parkhere Calling your mom from the school pay phone to have her record Days of our Lives.
In recognition of #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay, let's talk #Ableism and identify ways in which we can all reduce #discrimination against #differentlyabled individuals and create greater #inclusion throughout society. globalaccessibilityawarenessday.org
This is an excellent article by Laura Carstensen @LongevityCenter. Having just read "Think Again" by @AdamMGrant, I agree with her opinion that we need to #unlearn and #rethink how we perceive the life span. Opinion | We need a major redesign of life washingtonpost.com/opinions/we-ne…
Thank you, @meenaharris! This term just perpetuates the divisiveness caused by #generational #labels.
#Discrimination against those suffering from #mentalhealthissues is a form of #ableism. Take a moment to learn more about #mentalhealth, reach out to someone who may be suffering from #Anxiety or #depression and prioritize your own #mentalhealth today. mentalhealthishealth.us
