Forever Growing…. into a new year

Saying yes to new things expands us.
Curiosity and love of learning keep us vibrant.
Taking Risks grows our adventurous and fun-loving spirit
Opening ourselves to new experiences and opportunities

She brings her 25-plus years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker to her private practice and is an expert in grief and adversity.

SPIRIT: “Planning for Your Future – If Not Now, When?”
2023-09-12 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
“Planning for Your Future – If Not Now, When?”
Some conversations are hard to have but are, nonetheless, very important. This presentation will help you ponder your healthcare future and enable you to empower loved ones with information they need to know about your wishes. Then, and only then, will they be able to speak on your behalf if you can no longer speak for yourself.
We are about to celebrate Rosh Hashanah 5784, and IYH it should be a year of good health, happiness, and peace. May we all be sealed in the Book of Life. Yet, the fragility of life encourages us to consider how to do better for ourselves and our families by planning what we can plan. So, let’s take steps to get our house in order by becoming familiar with an easy-to-understand resource called the Five Wishes.
