Movie Date for Senior Couples and 'Something's Gotta Give'

Movie Date for Senior Couples and 'Something's Gotta Give'

It's absolutely nothing wrong with making your Friday, Saturday, or any night of the week a simple movie night with your new senior lover. Sometimes it can be the best and most intimate time you two can share and get to know each other outside of all the noise. Personally, I would rather stay home and watch a good movie like the one I am recommending to all my senior couples who are just wanting to kick back with each other to share a nice movie.

If you are looking for a great movie that will make you laugh, feel sexy, rejuvenated, and even cry a little, then you two need to get a copy of 'Something's Gotta Give' with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. I've seen this movie probably a dozen times now because it's just that good. Jack Nicholson plays the playboy with a libido much younger than his years and he preys on younger women rather than the women in his age range. However, something happens to him when he meets the mother of the younger woman he is interested in, which is played by the fabulous Diane Keaton, who is a divorced playwright. [You have to just watch and find out for yourself]

This movie will keep you laughing and rethinking all of the stereotypes of old age and hopefully by the end, you and your partner or date, will have enjoyed it so much that you two will be on your way to a second date!

Make sure to share how everything turns out with a little comment. Or, if you've seen this movie, what did you think about it?

Create Joy in Your Life To Make Room For Love

Create Joy in Your Life To Make Room For Love

Sometimes it's easier said than done to create the joy we all need in our lives. We have to deal with the external struggles of life and then with some of us, it becomes a struggle just to accept the attacks that linger over our bodies with age. However, love still makes its presence known by the people, pets, or simple dreams that we may have from day to day. Although this love is there, how do we truly tap into it? How do we become transparent enough to accept it?

As we continue to embark on our journey into love, I thought it would be wise to help each other find and create the joy in our own lives to make room for love. As you read this, you may be wanting love, but do not understand how to create it and have it manifest into your life. Well, it begins with you creating joy in your life and when you are happy and content where you are, then you are creating a huge space for love to enter and remain. Do you ever wonder why you seem to receive the things you always wanted or hoped for when you least expected them? This is because during the times when you were busy doing what brings you joy, you were more receptive and available to change and better yet, a transformation.

Love is available to all of us at any age of life, whether it be at first sight or the second or third. However, it's up to you and me to make the room for it to stay permanently.

I saw this video and thought it was very inspirational and wise to share with you. Enjoy with love, -Selena

If you are wondering if marriage the second time around is for you, then you just have to watch this video segment. It will help any senior citizen, widow, or widower have firsthand pointers on how to go about this goal in the right way and help them to avoid all of the outside distractions.

We all deserve to be loved and it doesn't matter what age you are as pointed out by this amazing couple who had the fortunate opportunity of marriage the second time around.

Leave us your thoughts, we would love to hear them. Have a lovely day!

Our Journey Into Love: The First Date

Love can be mysterious. It can be kind, but when it is shared with the right one, it is forever becoming.


Valentine's Day is soon approaching on February 14th and it is so nice to share love stories of how seniors met and how they have learned to keep the love alive in their marriages and simple relationships. Maybe this journey will teach the rest of us how to believe in the possibility of love or create a stronger bond in the relationships we are currently apart of.

To begin our adventure into this mysterious thing called love, I thought we should see how a first date looks from a senior citizen's perspective. Enjoy and tell me what you think? 

• Does it look any different from your very first date? If so, how?
• Do you still believe in love?
• Do you believe that love can last forever? stand the test of time?

With Love,

Selena Brown

Wishing You A New Level of Hope in 2011 and Video

As we approach New Year's Eve on tomorrow, I feel that I must send you words of encouragement and hope in some form that you can actually see and pass on if you feel led to do so.

We all know that our economy in America is still recovering and many, young and older, are still trying to put the pieces back together, but I am wishing you a new level of hope in 2011 that will take you to places you've never thought possible. I know this will be your time if you allow yourself to believe and get into action.

On New Year's Eve, before you go out with friends, family, or loved one, make sure to take a moment to yourself and reflect on how far you've come and write down some of the things you hope to achieve in 2011.
Keep them simple, from love, finances, to family, and stick to them. Throw out of your mind the fad on 'New Year's Resolutions' and let's keep them realistic and true to yourself because no one knows you better than you.

Out of this exercise, you will be able to build a new level of hope in 2011, to share with others as you move forward throughout the year because we work on relationships and those relationships that we build are meant to be in our lives for a reason. As you see those changes, for the better, you can always come back to this post and share them with me. I would love to read them and share them with others.

Here's an awesome video on H-O-P-E! Enjoy! Blessings, Selena Brown.

Senior Wisdom Video and Two (2) Whole Days Left for 'Give A Little in 2011' Giveaway

Hello Everyone!

The New Year is soon approaching and I thought that I should send you a senior Wisdom Video from some special senior citizens who showed how far they've come to help you prepare for the New Year of 2011!

And, here's a couple of my pointers to self and to you, for personal reflection time:

1. As we enter into this new year, let's take the time to focus on our own goals and dreams with fresh eyes, knowing that all things are possible. I can support this 100%! 

2. I pray that we understand how important it is for change to occur in our lives. We must go through planned and unexpected change, in order to reach the level where we were chosen to be. 

3. Lend a hand to someone who is of senior age in our life or a complete stranger. They would greatly appreciate it and remember that senior citizens have lived life long enough to know how to get through the little difficulties that we think are so major, but in reality are a piece of cake to resolve.

4. Make sure to give as much or more, this year, than we receive because it will go a long way when we really need a helping hand. I will be putting this into action on January 1st, so jump on board!

Now enjoy this YouTube Wisdom Video and also don't forget to enter our first act of giving in 2011, with the 'Give A Little in 2011' Giveaway, ENDING in TWO (2) WHOLE DAYS...Friday, December 31st, 11:59pm/EST!

Who knows, you may be one of the two (2) lucky winners to receive $100. TheOldFolksKnowBest.com understands that by giving a little to begin the year, it will come back 10x greater in so many different ways and also because it feels so good to share and make someone elses life a little easier.




Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Just A Little Article I Wrote...How To Be an Outstanding Caregiver For Senior Citizens

On yesterday, I had the opportunity to write a great article for, CarenetLA, an outstanding caregiving company who provides in-home, non-medical care to senior citizens in the Los Angeles, CA areas. I thought it was a real treat for people to understand what it takes to be an outstanding caregiver to senior citizens from a REAL caregiver's perspective.

Now, I realized that some of my new subscribers in the 'Give A Little Away in 2011' Giveaway, are caregivers to either a family member or other clients. So I thought it would be great to share the article with you!

Personally, I love CarenetLA as a family-owned and operated company. If you are a senior citizen or have a senior family member that needs a little help being more independent and live in the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley areas, I would look into what they have to offer and give them a call. Here's their blog with all the contact information too at: www.Carenetla.blogspot.com
__________________________________________________________________________________

So...without further delay, my article to share with you! BLESSINGS TO YOU!

Posted on CarenetLA Blog, Sunday, December 26, 2010
From a Real Caregiver's Perspective:


Hello,

My name is Selena Brown and I am a caregiver for CarenetLA. I believe that in order to become a good caregiver, you must first understand how to love yourself. Now I say 'understand' because you can do lots of superficial things for others, but in order to leave your mark on someone's life, you must come with a love and passion for yourself, first and foremost.Then that love and passion spills over onto your senior citizen.


I have been given the opportunity to work with a number of senior citizens and I might add that they have all enriched my life in more than one way. If I am, personally, trying to understand an aspect of my life that has been clouded by uncertainty, my senior clients say just the right words to remove the fog without me ever saying a word. This goes to show that when you are tapped into yourself and what's going on, you are then able to feel, see, recognize the needs of your senior.

Many times I get senior clients who would like for me to come back and work with them repeatedly and that is because I isolate my time and the moments that we share. I give my senior clients the time that they need with me and all other things that are happening in my life is placed on the back burner. It is their time now and they deserve to have my full attention. I understand that all the senior citizens that I am called to work with by Carenetla, are different. Some may be having a bad day because of an illness, disease, or just some family hiccup, but that's when I become sensitive to those situations and balance what I say and do to accommodate those moments in time. There is something inside you that turns on and off, a skill that is not taught, but rather expressed. When you are on, then your senior, who has lived in this life for many years can tap into it. I have been told that I have an old soul and maybe that's so, but when I give of myself truthfully and step down off my box and onto their level, I feel and play out their story in my mind, body, and spirit. Then that is what creates an endless relationship worth revisiting.

So...I am no guru on how to be an outstanding caregiver to your senior citizens, but just an active voice, living in the moment with each of my senior clients. I relive their lives, their stories, their romances, their heartaches, and their rediscovery, to ultimately become a better human-being.

We live on connections, whether the connections between two individuals are joined by age similarities or not. If we love and understand ourselves, then we become transparent and allow them (senior clients) the opportunity to have the last word in the moment.

Thank you,

Selena Brown

My Christmas Prayer to Senior Citizens All Around the World

          Dear Senior Citizens Around the World,

Well, it's that time of year again to share our happy memories, open gifts galore, and eat a great meal with the ones we love. I pray that all the senior citizens around the world have someone to share this special time with, if they celebrate Christmas.

It's also a day more than just about the gifts. It's really about love, caring, and support for one another regardless of age, color, status, or religion. It's about giving a BIG Happy Birthday to Jesus Christ, who, in Christianity celebrates on this very day of December 25th.

I hope and pray that all of the senior citizens have a warm place to be this holiday and there is food ready to be served to them. I pray that they are happy and comfortable in the stage of life they're in. I also hope and pray that they will have many more Christmas holidays to come, surrounded by good memories of what occurred today.

I do also pray for those in this life who don't remember as much, but breathe as we all do another day, sitting idle in the misty fog of Alzheimer's disease. I pray for those who are in the nursing facilities, wondering where their family is and how they are doing this Christmas. I even pray for the dogs and cats that keep them company on this holiday.  I pray for all of my fellow Veterans who have served in the U.S Military in combat and non-combat situations. Thank you...

I send this Christmas Prayer to all the senior citizens around the world for just being you...

With love,
Selena Brown
