My work brings me so much joy each and every day and I wanted to share this with you!
After speaking at the University of Texas Medical Branch panel, UTMB’s Dr. Raji wrote me this beautiful note:
“Thank you Adele for the excellent talk yesterday—emphasizing the importance of asking our elders and their care partners—what makes them happy, what gives them fun and purpose, and what matters most to them---focusing on what they can do---not on what they cannot do! The stories both personal and experiential—a reflection of your long aging-in-place experience—as well as facts and pointers you presented enrich the knowledge of our students, faculty, and staff attendees at your talk on Aging and Thriving in Place.”
