Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judy Gaman was so busy making a name for herself that she barely took the time to meet a stranger, enjoy life, or simply stop to breathe. Immersed in her job as the director of business development for a high-profile medical practice—a job that required her to write health and wellness books and host a nationally syndicated radio show—she spent every day going full speed ahead with no looking back. That is, until the day she met Lucille Fleming. While writing a book on longevity, Judy interviewed Lucille, an elegant and spirited woman who had just recently turned 100. Lucille had the fashion and style of old Hollywood, but it was all hidden behind the doors of her assisted living center. What began as a quick meeting became a lasting friendship that transformed into an inseparable bond. Lucille brought incredible wisdom and great stories to the table, while Judy provided an avenue for excitement and new opportunities. Together, the two began living life to the fullest, and meeting the most interesting people along the way (including Suzanne Somers). But then Lucille’s life came to an end through unexpected and unfortunate circumstances—and the very first lesson she ever taught Judy proved to be the most important one of all.

This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What intrigued me to write this biography about my Mom's long life? Because, she lived life her way, overcoming adversity and persevered through many hardships, constantly striving to live a long, healthy life in order to reach her goal of centenarian at 100 years of age. A year before her passing at 101 years old, mom was active and lucid. I felt that it was time to interview her and record everything about her life from her birth in 1902 through to her last days in the assisted living facility in 2004. She truly is an inspiration to all who want to reach the status of centenarian and acquire the roadmap of life. Her motto was: think positive, eat healthy, and have fun all the way to 101.

Download or read book The Memoirs of Robert R. Howell written by Patricia Howell and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Grandfather, Robert R. Howell, spent most of his years between the ages of 18 and 47 in the military. He traveled to many places and had many interesting experiences. As the years went on, friends would ask him why he had never written his memoirs. Grandpa always said the same thing. "I didn't know I was going to live this long." Finally, while in his 90's, he wrote his memoirs and gave them to a friend. When another friend said they would like to have a copy, Grandpa took pencil or pen in hand, and wrote them again. To the best of my knowledge he wrote his memoirs five times; each time giving them to the requester. In later years three copies came back to the family. It is from the information in those three books, that also include poems and short stories that I have managed to compile a single chronology of the highlights of the life of Robert R. Howell. Whenever possible I have verified dates, places, and events. Some of the results of my research and specific memories, I have included as notes. What I found was that even though Grandpa was somewhere between the age of 90 and 102 when the books were written, the events chronicled were amazingly accurate. However, due to the difficulty of deciphering his handwriting, some dates and the spelling of names and places may not be exact.

Download or read book If I Live to Be 100 written by Neenah Ellis and published by Crown. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully written and elegantly wise book that takes us inside the world of centenarians and invites us to learn from them firsthand the art of living well for an exceptionally long period of time. Neenah Ellis always wanted to live to 100, and her fascination led her to interview centenarians from all over the US about what life was like at the very beginning of the century, and how things have changed over time. Ellis, a producer for National Public Radio, spent an unforgettable year traveling with her tape recorder and listening to the stories of America’s oldest men and women. She met a couple who courted by horse and sleigh in Vermont during the winter of 1918, and she spent a week with the oldest living black lesbian in America. She visited a nationally known expert on dyslexia who published a book at 96 and whose great-great-grandfather was a colonel in Washington’s army; and she met Anna Wilmot, the row-boating centenarian from New England who captured the hearts of thousands of NPR listeners with her confession that she swims in the buff only “when it’s foggy and there’s no fisherman around.” Originally conceived as an American history project, Ellis’s year of interviews became much more, a personal journey of growth and transformation. After two decades of acting as the reporter and inquisitor, Ellis finally shifted gears and was able in the process of these conversations to start really listening. Once she had put away the exigencies of her cusp-of-the-millennium life—her deadlines, the intense focus on current events, the endless e-mail and ringing phones—she began to learn the kinds of things that we do from much older people. She started to connect in her conversations with them, and to see the virtue of looking forward, as the centenarians did, not backward. They reminded her that the moment—this very moment that we’re in right now—is precious and fine. And that the true richness of life is to be found in each other—in our marriages and friendships, in the intellectual life that we share with each other, and in the ways that we become connected. Their stories add up to a course in living well, with lessons and inspiration for all of us.

Download or read book Missionary Diplomacy written by Emily Conroy-Krutz and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Missionary Diplomacy illuminates the crucial place of religion in nineteenth-century American diplomacy. From the 1810s through the 1920s, Protestant missionaries positioned themselves as key experts in the development of American relations in Asia, Africa, the Pacific, and the Middle East. Missionaries served as consuls, translators, and occasional trouble-makers who forced the State Department to take actions it otherwise would have avoided. Yet as decades passed, more Americans began to question the propriety of missionaries' power. Were missionaries serving the interests of American diplomacy? Or were they creating unnecessary problems? As Emily Conroy-Krutz demonstrates, they were doing both. Across the century, missionaries forced the government to articulate new conceptions of the rights of US citizens abroad and of the role of the US as an engine of humanitarianism and religious freedom. By the time the US entered the first world war, missionary diplomacy had for nearly a century created the conditions for some Americans to embrace a vision of their country as an internationally engaged world power. Missionary Diplomacy exposes the longstanding influence of evangelical missions on the shape of American foreign relations.
