Life's Greatest Lessons
On May 1, 1940, in a small community known as Grove Park, Glenn Moffett was born. Located in the North West part of Atlanta GA, Grove park was home to a primarily lower middle class, mainly white, population. This was the kind of town where the local grocery store, church, and school were all accessible within a five-mile radius. Alongside his extended family, Glenn spent the entire period of his youth growing up in this community. His childhood home was located on an elevated piece of property known as “the hill”, a place where only him and his extended family (this includes cousins, uncles/aunts, and grandparents) resided. Glenn likes to describe his experience growing up in a neighborhood that was mutually exclusive to his own kin as one that is like the dynamics of a commune. Everyone living on “the hill” watched out for each other. Glenn recalls many of his daily activities always being done in the company of various family members.

Planting Roots
As I loaded my last bag in the car, I looked back one last time up the driveway almost as to take a mental picture. The feeling of gratitude came rushing over, like a fresh breeze on a hot summer day. I had long envisioned this moment of departure from my childhood home. It was hardly the first time I left, but this time I made a definitive decision to make it my last. This moment feels bitter sweet, quite like the fruit of the pear tree that falls from the branches creeping over from the next yard. There is a small fear tingling inside that something will drag me back again, but it is silenced as soon as the car pulls off.

Facing Nursing Home Neglect - Then Select An Attorney
Nursing home abuse is a real problem that many people are afraid to talk about due the fear of lawsuits and liability. In some cases family members who are supposed to be helping their aging parent or caretaker may not have any idea what's really happening in the nursing home, which leaves them powerless as they watch loved ones suffer with no way out. This is where a Nursing Home Neglect Attorney can be very helpful.

Japan Fights an Aging Population With Nanotech
JAPAN FACES a perfect storm: falling birth rates, an ageing population and a stagnant economy — a harbinger of what the rest of the developed world will confront. But those challenges are the catalyst for a determined push to extend working lives and outflank chronic disease, and nanomedicine is central to the effort.

It was Fifty Years Ago Today
It Was Fifty Years Ago Today… June 26, 1971. Fifty years ago, I stood at the front of Temple Beth El as a Bar Mitzvah and led our congregation in prayer. While I had Rabbi Gerald Schuster for back-up seated behind me, the bima was mine. Read the prayers for Shabbat. Read from the Torah, offer a d’var Torah (think of a homily- an explication of a current event based on the week’s reading), lead the closing prayers, and offer the blessings over wine and bread before the luncheon. It’s a big deal, the Bar Mitzvah, whether you’re 13 or 73, and you’re glad when it is over.

One Way to Live Longer That We ALL Overlook
I used to want to live forever. Now, that is not the case. But with that being said, I would like to live a long and healthy life. One thing that I discovered while listening to Eckhart Tolle, who was born in the 1940s, is that he looks like he's in his forties, but he's actually in his 70's!
