March brings longer days—and deeper conversations. This week on The Senior Zone, Shawn Perry explores awareness and action in later life.
We begin with The Beacon Newspapers’ March issue, followed by an important conversation for National Problem Gambling Awareness Month with Jaime Costello of the National Council on Problem Gambling.
In Segment Two, Shawn shares a personal reflection: “From Waiting to Walking: The Power of One Move.”
Plus: Birthdays of the Week, Dear Grave Woman, and the Later Life Lowdown.
Because aging forward requires awareness—and movement.
Thank you for listening and until we meet again…keep your head high, your heart full, and always — be someone who makes someone else look forward to their tomorrow.
