Fatou with James Flaherty on Writing a sto Friends to Get Moving

In this episode, I am speaking (and smiling) with Jim Flaherty, who was a madman on NYC’s Madison Avenue, an innkeeper, father, grandfather, great grandfather, a caregiver of a partner with dementia, and now, an author.

Jim’s new book, DEAR OLD FRIENDS—A LOVING REMINDER THE BAND WONT’ STOP PLAYING TILL YOU STOP DANCING, tackles the most important part of aging healthfully—your mental attitude—being involved with living, and loving life, every day. Jim speaks, writes, and gives care from an interesting viewpoint—he’s 86 years old…he told me he’s going on 60 . . . but he is 86. Besides his book, he has been a guest blogger speaking to aging women and is a frequent speaker at elderly residential and rehab centers. Jim is also a director of his church and says with an aging congregation, it’s important to keep them involved, mentally and spiritually.

Tune in a lovely conversation and great nuggets.
