What Matters

Following the sage advice of the legendary George Burns who once said: “Old….young, just words!” Do Not Go Quietly is infused with one of the Cappannelli’s inspiring themes: “We are never too old or too young to live the lives we were born to live” George and Sedena Cappannelli will show that the gift of the third act of life should not be taken lightly or lying down.

Do Not Go Quietly is loaded with valuable perspectives on how to live more consciously and age more wisely. George will encourage listeners to take responsibility for their own lives and their own wellness by harvesting the wisdom and experience of the past and investing it in living more fully in each present moment. He will also remind us that if we want to make our days more vital, satisfying and joy-filled, then it is time we make right our relationship with ourselves and the world around us and reclaim our rightful place as adults and elders. www.AgeNation.com

Growing up in a country that is caught in the throes of war takes a heavy toll on a person’s mind, especially the mind of a child. Children are the lost and forgotten casualties of war, and the world may not understand or properly acknowledge this group of victims. It is hard to fathom that there can come a time when the basic necessities of life (food, shelter, safety) that we take for granted are not always readily available to everyone. In “Witness, A Civil War Experience From A Child’s Perspective” author, QuanuQuanei A. Karmue, shares his unique experience, perspective and hope for the future of Liberia, one child at a time. Written by one who witnessed war at an early age, was lucky enough to escape, and who returned soon after the war to witness firsthand the devastating effect of war on the children. This is a story of love: a mother’s love for her children and for the children of Liberia, written by the son in honor of his mother. Ultimately, this mother’s love has become a commitment to build hope, one child at a time. The project can be viewed at www.savemorekids.org

We all want to live happy, fulfilled lives. Sometimes, however, it seems like we've become experts at avoiding happiness. If you are missing out on your share of happiness, you may have unconscious beliefs that make it impossible to experience happiness. In fact, at some level you may simply believe that being happy is wrong.

This belief leads to emotional deprivation, which can become an attachment, a pattern so familiar that it literally becomes a self-sabotaging way of life. How can you tell if you are locked into this syndrome? Mike Bundrant, co-author of the AHA Solution, will lead us through these symptoms of self sabotage and point out a solution that leads to a new set-point for happiness. http://inlpcenter.com/

So let’s discuss the data and the opinions that led to this public declaration of obesity as a disease. And what about the other research? Anxiety, red meat, butter?
