Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, my elderly neighbor and his wife were told there would be a 45-minute wait for a table.” Young man, we're both 90 years old,” the husband said, “We may not have 45 minutes.” They were seated immediately.
I just came across this joke. I wonder if there is some way I can work it into my Hypnotic Fountain of Youth workshop?

Thank you
Thank you so much for attending my seminar, the Hypnotic Fountain of Youth.
And thank you for your concern, but I would like to request that you stop sending me advice regarding hair and makeup as well as my wardrobe. You see, it was intentional for me to appear like a fugitive from the 1980s. After reading about the study where the men from the nursing home immersed themselves in the music, periodicals, movies and political issues that were popular 20 years earlier, they looked, felt and behaved in a more youthful manner, I decided to immerse myself in the music and fashion of the 1980s (20 years ago)!
So thank you for your concern. It was not a bad hair day, just a bad hairspray day. And I will publish the photos to prove it!

New terms for Old words
Words for advanced age:
Ancient, Decrepit, Old,
withered, weathered, experienced, mature, wise, ripe, worn out, well-worn, antique, frail, distinguished, accomplished, crone, fogey, dowager, curmudgeon, …
Most are negative, especially when applied to female humans.
I am keenly aware of the disparity in gender perception of aging. I wonder why men are considered more attractive and valuable at older ages, when women tend to live longer...? That is a weird inequity. I guess it's supply and demand. There are more older women, so less valued?? This will be explored in future editions.
Aging Gracefully, what is that?
It means looking, feeling, and acting young, even at advanced ages. I read an article recently about Healthy Elders. It was about “older” people who were still active and healthy. The examples they used were some individuals in their 60s. SIXTIES! In Florida, these are not even considered “elders!” I was expecting to read about some nonagenarians or at least octogenarians, if not centenarians! I mean I saw a headline recently that said 90 is the new 40.
This is because of the new extended lifespan. People are finally living longer. Now the challenge is just to live healthier.
I’m currently reading a book about Improving Memory Skills, and it is not for just older people, but can be used at any age. I would like to point out that only in this country are we saddled with the belief that all persons of advanced age have poor memories. In other countries, older persons are venerated.
The book is called…hmmm… I forget. I will review it in the book review section. If I remember. I haven’t finished it yet!
So my Premier Presentation for the Fountain of Youth is Wednesday, at Serenity Now Books and Gifts in Palm harbor, Florida. We will take a vote to select a new, positive term for persons of advanced age and wisdom. I tend to like Living National Treasures, which is a term used in Asia.
Any suggestions?

NGH Convention 2008
Just this morning I was thinking about what to present at the 2009 convention. And I haven't even completed my 2008 workshops!
A little preview: Saturday afternoon I will present The Hypnotic Fountain of Youth. It's a one hour presentation and you will see it labeled Hypnotic Rejuvenation on the schedule. This will be a lot of fun! I think we will make pinwheels...
We will discuss how to stay youthful and active using several different modalities: mind, body and spirit! Hypnosis is for the mind, of course.
Sunday morning, bright and early at 8am I will present a 2-hour workshop called Verbal Impact. Great name, hunh?! It is about the power of words. This time I will have time to discuss and display Dr. Emoto's work with water molecules. You might remember these from the movie, What the Bleep, which shows some of his work at a subway station. He has several books now, and even CDs. I think it's very interesting and have discussed his discoveries before, in my blog.
It should be a great convention. It always is. And it just gets better and better!

Fountain of Youth
Presenting:
The Hypnotic Fountain of Youth
Serenity Now Books and Gifts
Tampa Road, Palm Harbor
Wednesday, July 9, 7:00 pm
What are the signs of aging and can they be attenuated? Deepak Chopra says that nothing has more influence over the body than the beliefs of the mind. He also says that the most common signs of aging are caused by a "widespread social hypnosis," based on personal beliefs. So if the signs of aging are based on beliefs, it would be possible and beneficial to challenge these beliefs, and embrace a more positive attitude towards the passage of time. A guided meditation will conclude the program.

Optimum Health
Since I am doing research for my presention about the Hypnotic Fountain of Youth, I’m listening to Andrew Weil on CD, Healthy Aging, Your Guide to Optimum Physical and Spiritual Well-being. As a doctor he is very interested in scientific evidence for all the myths and theories he has investigated regarding aging.
In order to keep your body in optimum condition, Weil recommends a healthy diet, full of fruits and vegetables and recommends certain supplements which are not easy to get even in the most rigorous diet.
He discusses all the remedies found in the Health Food Store that are available as supplements. He advocates taking several different antioxidants, as well as vitamins and minerals. The good news is that I have discovered a great tasting, liquid vitamin product, which includes vitamins, minerals, AND antioxidants.
See www.shopbgb.com/gloriaEH for a great multi-vitamin, mineral and antoxidant formula which is cheap, easy, and convenient!
