Description

See you in September! Most of us know this 1966 song by The Happenings, and the title has literally become a mantra. Happy September and Happy Labor Day. Let's take a moment to recognize and honor the American labor movement and the ways in which American workers have contributed to the country's success over the years. This holiday was born in response to a series of workers' strikers in the late 19th century, as workers protested against unfair working conditions. We've all benefited from the efforts of these brave men and women who paved the way for all of us in the workforce. Thank you.   Each month, I write an article in The Patch that features what I'll talk about in my monthly vlog, 60 and Beyond with Skylark. Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel, Skylark Live, and click the bell to get notified when I upload a new vlog the first Monday of every month. I started my vlog a few years ago when I was turning 60. I realized many changes were beginning to take place and I wanted to take stock; mind, body, and soul and share my inspirations and motivations with you. Each vlog features a different topic including happiness, prosperity, goal-setting, traveling, exercising, and living your dreams, just to name a few. This month, I'm featuring The Benefits of AARP Membership. I became a member many years ago and have found this organization to be a great resource. They advocate for older Americans and provide sound guidance and advice through their email newsletter and bi-monthly magazine on subjects that include many of the same things I talk about in my vlog. They also provide valuable information and articles on insurance, healthy eating, exercise, dating, spirituality, money matters and so much more as we age. You even get discounts with your AARP membership card.  The August/September 2021 AARP magazine features Jaimie Lee Curtis who has found happiness and contentment at the age of 62. "I wake up every day at 4:00am and have so much on my mind. I'm just so crazy excited and creative right now, and I don't want to squander any of it." How wonderful to feel this way. And you can, too, 60 and beyond. These can be some of your best years yet, and in many ways, a second youth. Let's face it, by now you've got a lot of miles under your belt. You know yourself better, and you know what you want. AARP  membership can help you along the path of aging through their advocacy. I'll talk about this and much more this month in my vlog. Due to the holiday, my September vlog will be on Tuesday, September 7th. Please follow me under my brand, Skylark Live, on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin, and YouTube. Let me help you thrive, 60 and beyond! Love and Peace, Skylark
