Excerpt
Introduction
While finishing my return to graduate school-- after a
thirty-year hiatus-- I began thinking about how my new business as a
gerontologist would manifest. A friend, and artist, and one of my staunchest
supporters and cheerleaders, Ann McIntyre, put forth a novel idea. She
suggested adding a visual element to my practice. For the longest time, I
couldn’t figure out how that should look.
I asked myself, how could I
incorporate a visual something into a world of words? Trusting the answer
would come at the perfect time, I waited. Cartoons, cartoons…then my Aha! Moment. I would include funny, but
gentle, comments on aging to compliment my Facebook and website blog posts and
other offerings, and share them on all my social media platforms. Adding my precious Havanese puppy, George
Eliot, as my sidekick, completed the vision.
