Today I read a woman named Terry whose daughter is my client. Like most people I found it hard to believe Terry's age, but it's true, she's 80. There are many ways one remains youthful, but as I always blog, everything that happens to us is part of our DNA programming for experience here. Emotions lead the way in knowing if one will grow old gracefully. Appearance - especially hair - makes major difference in how you look and feel about yourself. At the end of the day, it's all common sense.

Similarities and differences between Ellie and Terry:

We are both divorced choosing not to remarry

Terry lives alone in a rent controlled apartment in Manhattan. How luck is that! I live in Brooklyn. We love the energies of where we live. It's home.

I drive everywhere ... Terry walks or uses public transportation. City dwellers often don't have cars.

I am an only child born in Brooklyn though my mom had many miscarriages before me. Terry was the 7th of 9 children born in Ireland coming to NYC in her 20's. Both our families owned farms (Ireland and for me the Catskill Mountains) when we were children - selling them later.

Terry speaks with a brogue. I speak like Brooklyn..

No health issues nor stress to wear us down just up positive attitudes. Neither has "senior moments" of forgetfulness. We don't see death any time soon, though I see closure.

No mental illnesses nor substance abuse issues

Terry practices yoga. I'm too lazy - run around a lot but no specific exercise.

Neither of us has had cosmetic surgery.

Great families and support

I raised 3 daughters who are professionals. Terry raised one daughter but was nanny to 2 other girls who are adults and all professionals.

I still work. Terry baby sits one day a week.

Terry goes to church. I have no need for religion. During Terry's reading her aura turned to white light as we heard (and I saw) angels enter the room. I should have taken a pic but didn't think of it. When spirits show up ... more often than not it's by surprise. I did not discuss my belief system (the hologram).

I finished college+ and became a teacher. Terry worked with children as a nanny.

I'm good with techie stuff. Terry tries. We agreed people no longer talk - they text but that's not us.

We both had a great session and a lot of fun.
