My Dating & Relationship Podcasts For Men & Women

We’re not in June Cleaver’s World Anymore

I was ahead of my time back in 2004 when I started my live stream podcast show “Leave It Two Beavers.”  http://www.leaveittwobeavers.com.  I have 4 seasons uploaded, check them out!) Now look at the broadcasting market & what is available!  There are so many options to listen to archived or “live” audio shows in all formats!  One of the reasons I started this show was due to the continual changes men & women were going through in the dating/relationship market. This was mainly due to women becoming more career driven, more opinionated & being OK on their own. This caused a rift with men & women communicating due to the gender egos clashing with these new scenarios.

Here are the TOP TEN reasons why we’ve left June Cleaver’s world behind:

10- No need to worry about what to wear while online dating.
9 — Mommy brings home the buffalo, daddy does the dishes.
8 — Gravity sucks! Fight back with plastic surgery.
7 — Martinis are prepared at 9:00 a.m., ready for 3:00 p.m. HAPPY HOUR.
6 — The kitchen is not just for cooking anymore.
5 — Aren’t Cooking & Sewing two cities in China?
4 — Your partner may be your same sex!
3 — Divorce proceedings replace PTA meetings.

2–Vibrators are a household staple.

AND THE #1 REASON IS…
We’re not afraid to say what we think, DAMMIT !

That was a tough decade but we are now starting to understand & appreciate the gender differences.

Sigh…If I had only known what a gold mine I was sitting on back then. What fun we had in the studio every Thursday putting together our 1 hour show. This is truly where my passion lies and there was never a shortage of  great topics to discuss in the Dating & Relationship world.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Hosting my Video Talk Show:  http://www.youtube.com/twobeavers  with my wonderful guest Co-hosts but what I really want is a Canadian Based Television Talk Show that allows  innovative, uncensored (PG +), open minded & real life content.  Even Ellen & Oprah have discussed sex & forbidden topics on their shows…times have changed! We need to address that & get the conversations going.  The topics between men & women are endless & we need to keep communicating.  I’m ready to make this happen ~ Let’s do it!

Please Contact me here, I would love to hear from you.

Dating & Relationship Advice for Men & Women: Looking For love In All the Wrong Places

I am still amazed how many men and women complain about the difficulties they have enjoying a successful dating life.  Both sexes must learn how to open up and talk to each other without initial harsh judgment or sabotage due to their own subconscious insecurities.  Men & women need to make an effort to understand their gender differences and embrace them instead of repelling away from them!

The one common denominator both men and women have is their lack of creativity on where to rendezvous when they are looking for a future partner.  The most obvious choice for many is the bar & nightclub scene. This is “one night stand” territory no matter how you look at it. There will always be the exception of a few people who end up in a committed relationship with someone they meet in a club, but for the most part it is a short lived scenario.  Most people wake up the next day & seldom call the number they have in their coat pocket from the night before. (This is mainly due to too much alcohol & lack of confidence to make the phone call.)

Meeting in a lounge or a restaurant is a better environment to potentially meet someone but you have to be more creative as there is no dancing to seduce or lure someone in. God forbid ~you actually have to converse with them.  Alcohol is a great relaxer for many women &  it gives men liquid courage to approach a woman. This is why the bar scene is a repetitive pattern for so many frustrated people. Unfortunately it is usually the same old story every weekend & everyone wakes up perturbed & lonely &  the patten continues…

Some of the situations to be aware of for when meeting a potential partner:

  • If you are using Online dating services check out if someone you are interested in is also listed in the intimate section.  Some people are only really interested in a sexual relationship. Really read their profiles & pay attention to any red flags. (Many people choose to ignore them, even the obvious ones)
  • Pay attention to the groupie types who only date or sleep with a certain high profile distinction.  Many prominent athletes, musicians or wealthy business people frequent the same watering holes. This is a gold mine for people on the prowl for money or status.
  • Be aware of men & women who are looking for a sugar daddy/mama type lifestyle and cannot date anyone who is not in this league.
  •  Being the constant mistress! Now there’s a novel idea…being #2 forever.  Married men will not come to you continually unless you are sending out vulnerable signals.
  • People who only date the perfect & beautiful types.  Their physical standards are so high that everything else is overlooked in the relationship. Both sexes fall into this category.

External riches do not necessarily bring internal riches.

Finding true love should not be costly or painful. Getting yourself stuck in a routine will close doors on other available options that could ultimately work for you. If you classify yourself as a certain “type” you will not allow yourself to grow to your full potential ~you become stuck! Fear can be a powerful suppressor, so be cognizant of any forming patterns that keep you from having love in your life because you are afraid of the unknown. Take baby steps to challenge your demons.

If you don’t have the strength to get out of  reoccurring heart breaking situations, then start observing some of your friends who may be stronger than you and follow their lead. (Don’t be afraid to ask for help or to hire someone professionally for a short time.) Change up your dating patterns & the venues so that you have better chances of meeting someone of substance.  Everyone deserves love in their life.

Some of the 10 best places to meet at least start up a good conversation:

  1. Golf driving range or (Executive par 3 course as less serious golfers will go there.)
  2. Tennis court (Use the back wall where other solo players will practice.)
  3. The gym (Be friendly & acknowledge people near you ~ Say hi & take off your headphones!
  4. Airport (Talk to people in the holding room or restaurants.)
  5. Hiking trails or a Beach/Park with high people traffic.
  6. Sporting venue (hockey game, soccer match, golf spectator etc,)
  7. Any mingle social event  (Do not put yourself in a booth; always stay open to the room.)
  8. Meet up groups (Check your local area for the numerous groups available or start one!)
  9. Take a course where there will be people there who have similar interests as you.
  10. Speed dating & Online Dating sites (Do your homework & find the best ones that work for you)

Dating & Relationship Advice: Red Flag Awareness!

Relationship Red Flags are warning signs that your date or partner puts out that should make your intuitive antenna stand to attention!

This topic may seem like a never ending discussion but there is a reason for that! Many people continue to ignore those “spidey senses” or better known as their gut intuition. We all want a relationship so badly that we will overlook so many of the obvious obstacles. People are more willing to settle now due to the difficulty in meeting someone today. We are all stuck behind our careers, computers & smart phones which makes it harder to have face to face connections. Speed dating is once again becoming a popular source of interaction due to this dilemma.

The 10 Most Obvious Red Flags Not To Be Overlooked In The Early Stages Of A Relationship:

• Possessiveness
• They say they are going to call & don’t.
• They are always late (in other words they view their time as more important than yours)
• Lying (about their age, job, their single status, or their past)
• They are lazy in a physical sense or the inability to hold onto a job.
• They have no friends or talk negatively about the few they do have.
• They have a large checklist!
• They do not divulge anything about themselves on a personal level
• Promotes them self & asks little about you
• Extremely defensive & invalidates your opinions or views.

Here Are Some Of The Most Common Red Flags:

1) Someone who make excuses why they are too busy to get together when the real reason is ~ they just aren’t that into you but want to keep their options open.

2) They pick a fight with you so they can go to Vegas or other weekend ventures with their friends.

3) They often Call you for late night booty calls.

4) They call you last minute for a date on a Friday/Saturday ~ were you the last choice?

5) Still living at home with mama after 25 & they are not in University.

6) They are constantly jealous. This is usually because of what they are doing or thinking behind your back.

7) They regularly use humor at your expense. This is a huge sign of insecurity and you should run as fast as you can. No one should use you as their means of so called humor.

8) Ladies: If your date shows up with a station wagon and car seats, make sure he really is single!

9) Constantly talking about an EX.

10) Easily angered all the time, abusive to restaurant staff or has road rage on a regular basis.

11) Men: Gold diggers are pretty obvious, so make sure she is worth every penny of your reputation! You may think you look good with her on your arm but the whole world knows why she is there. (If that is OK with you, milk it for every cent it is going to cost you!)

12) People who say they are separated but you can’t call them at work or home, & you never get to go to their place. (They communicate through texting & when you do get a phone call they sound like they are in the shower ~ bathrooms are a cheaters favorite location)

13) If they tell you their relationship is over but they can’t leave their situation, they are weak. If they can’t put them self out there 100%, they shouldn’t be dating.

14) Anyone who neglects their children “for you” shows their true colors very early. Children should always come first or at least close to an equal priority. Deadbeat parents are not acceptable.

15) Ladies, unless you like cross dressers, coming across any female underwear in their bachelor home is the biggest red flag you will ever have in front of your face.

16) They have a dog or pet that takes priority in their bed over you. (They even have their own pillow!)

17) “In” fast usually means “Out” fast ~ watch how quickly they promise you the world.

18) They are secretive about things, especially their past.

Recognizing & acknowledging the smaller red flags during the early stages of a relationship & discussing them, can help make the relationship better understood. Not all red flags mean the demise of a relationship but your morals & boundaries should not be compromised.

Some red flags should never be ignored or overlooked, and should be addressed without naivety or ignorance. Violence, uncontrolled anger and rage, drinking and drug abuse, persistent gambling, or infidelities during the early stages of a relationship are signs that the relationship should be terminated.

Too many of us waste time trying to believe in someone because we don’t want to be alone. Why do we do that to ourselves? Believe in yourself first & know that you are worthy of a loving partnership. Learn from each relationship or scenario to better yourself & your choices in the future. Repetitive patterns and red flag allowances will keep you in abusive & drama filled situations until you come to terms with your insecurities & own them. Acknowledging your short comings & behavioral patterns will be the savior in not allowing these people to enter your lives.

Your self-worth is the key to your happiness.

Dear Sybersue: My Girlfriend is Pregnant & Wants Space From Our Relationship. Why Is This Happening?

Dear Sybersue,

Hello, I was just wondering if I could get a quick bit of advice?

My girlfriend Amber & I (we are both 20 years old) have only been together for 5 months, and shes 4 months pregnant, yes I know its a bit fast but I have known her for 2 years. Her parents were not happy about the pregnancy but have come around in the last few months and are starting to accept it now. Amber & I get on like a house on fire for the most part, and we are very excited to be starting a family together. We have had our ups and downs just like everyone, but we usually just forgive and forget and move on. But recently she seems to be pulling back from me. She hasn`t spoken to me in 5 days & she said that she just needs a break and will tell me when shes ready. I don`t feel like I have done anything wrong but was just wondering what the reason is?

I am guessing its hormones and she just needs a bit of space, but it is a long distance relationship…well 50 miles, and I thought she had enough space. We only talk an hour a day and I only get to see her every other weekend. I do not feel like I am smothering her given this scenario. What has happened?

Thank you for your advice! [if given] I love your videos & you always seem fair & non judgmental. I really want to hear your thoughts on this.

Stephen From Australia

Dear Stephen,

I think you may be right about the hormones but many women are usually more clingy during those times. She may be feeling forced into this situation due to the fact that she got pregnant a month after you hooked up and didn’t have time to get to know how she really felt about you. She is probably re-evaluating her future right now as this is a life changing time for her. New man, baby on the way, new hormones she’s never felt before, living in separate towns etc. She may be asking herself “How will this work? What about money & where will we live?” That is a lot to digest.

I am not usually an advocate of breaks in a relationship but this one does warrant an exception due to the circumstances. The only way you will know if she truly wants to be in a relationship with you, is to honor her “space” and remove yourself temporarily. Let HER do the “contacting” as you need to know if she is into having a relationship with you and also wanting to make an effort as a committed partner. She is calling the shots right now & as much as it is killing you not knowing, you will get your answer soon enough. Be realistic about what she has said to you. Have you really listened to her & what she wants down the road? Be honest with yourself too. Do you love her or just trying to do the right thing? You both need to communicate what you want and that you are not there just because of the unforeseen cards that were dealt to you with the pregnancy.

Good luck with everything Stephen, you are a “stand up” guy wanting to take responsibility at such a young age & that is wonderful. So many men would have run the other way. Good for you!!! Thanks for writing & keep me posted ~ Susan

Relationship Advice~ What Does “Taking a Break” Really Mean?

What the heck does “We are taking a break in our relationship” really mean? So many people are doing it today & how do they get away with it? It is the same as having your cake & eating it too ~ you may as well cut off a big piece & spoon feed it to them!

This is the lazy & insincere person’s way of ending a relationship, because they don’t want to be alone right away. They want to be able to lean on you when they can & keep their options open. Both sexes initiate this scenario today, especially in the twenty something crowd. Wouldn’t it be better to stay single & date rather than have to hurt someone in this manner? It is not a nice place to be as it is seldom reciprocated.

What are the reasons for couples to want to take a break?

• They are easing into a full time breakup.
• It can be used as a threatening tool to get something more out of the relationship that they are not receiving.
• It allows more nights out with friends or separate vacations.
• Stalls the marriage discussions.
• Trying to keep them interested by being evasive & playing hard to get.
• Being more in control

Ultimately taking a break means the relationship is over. If you are bored, or have fallen out of love, what is a break going to do? You can’t force yourself to love them? If you take a break & then end up getting married down the road, it usually ends up in divorce because the same problems are still there that always have been. People do not change that much.

What does this “Break” entail?

• Are you allowed to have sex with others?
• Do you see each other at all?
• Are you still having sex with them and have now basically been demoted to a booty call?
• How long is it for? Is there a set time limit?

This scenario is not a good situation to fall into. You are temporarily on hold to see if they can find someone better than you. There is a chance that they may “settle for you” if nothing comes along but will you ever feel good about that? Don’t ever put yourself number two. If a relationship is right, it really isn’t that much work. When two people really love each other they want to be together. They are not happy being apart.

Ending a relationship with someone is one thing as it gives both people a new beginning, but being the person that doesn’t want to “take a break” is hanging around waiting for someone to decide whether their partner wants to be with them or not. Why ever put yourself in that position? So the next time someone asks you for a break tell them “sure, I was going to ask you if I could date your best friend this week anyway.” See how that goes over…

Travel, Taxi’s & Las Vegas

As an ex flight attendant I have traveled to numerous places world wide and the one thing I have always been bothered by was the different taxi rates for the same destination. First of all I do understand how hard a job it is for many of the drivers with their long hours & below average earnings for the most part, but being basically robbed by a doubled fare is not very neighborly, nor does it promote great tourism.

I recently went to Las Vegas & took a cab from the airport to The Wynn Hotel. I asked the airport staff how much the usual fare was to this location ~ I was told between $15 to $20. It was $15 and we happily gave our driver $20. He was courteous & friendly which is always my prerequisite to leaving a good tip.

Upon entering the hotel I met a woman who told me she just paid $30 for the exact same trip. Another person who overheard us in the check in lineup told us her story of her last visit to Vegas where a police car pulled them over in the taxi. He asked the driver why he was taking them the long way instead of the usual & less expensive route. The policeman was livid with the driver & scolded him in front of the 3 taxi guests & made a police report which he sent to the taxi company as well. It is obviously becoming a big problem to have the police intervening. My husband took a cab outside “the strip” area to do some business and asked the cab driver to wait for him while he went in to pick something up. He was literally gone 5 minutes & when he came back outside the driver had left. Because of rush hour & the less populated area, it took my husband an hour to get a cab back to the hotel. And guess what? The cab fares were different again!

My advice to people planning a trip anywhere is to do your homework on travel expenditures. Tell the taxi driver you are aware of the fare to your required destination before you enter the cab. If they argue or disagree with you, wait for the next one. If you need the cab driver to wait for you somewhere, pay them half the money & then the full amount when you reach your destination. (Especially for women who do not want to be stranded in some remote area alone ~ it is always best to have a travel buddy with you.) If you are somewhere you do not speak the language ask the hotel concierge or reception to write out a note in the appropriate language stating the destination & fare. The hotel will know this & can also take note of the cab company & car number. You wouldn’t get on a flight or take a train without knowing the travel fee so apply the same knowledge towards your taxi fares.

I have been very fortunate with most of my travel experiences because I do my due diligence before leaving for my destination. I enjoy my conversations with the cab drivers in all the cities I have visited & they have been very helpful for the most part. If you treat them with respect & not just as “your” driver, they are generally kind & respectful back. Travel safe, be smart & treat everyone how you would like to be treated. That goes for everyone in the travel business…

Dating &Relationship Advice~ The Crazzzzzzzzzy Things We Do For Love!

Question: Why do we do crazy things for the sake of love?
Answer: Love is the Most Powerful Emotion in our lives.

When we first fall in love with someone it is a euphoric feeling that is very addictive & holds our emotions hostage. Suddenly life is perfect & we can’t stop smiling regardless of other obstacles that may enter our life. Love is powerful & affects all of us in our lifetime. It is how we handle this “gift” that will allow us to keep receiving it.

Why does this four letter word change our behavior so much?

Love rules our hearts & our hearts don’t always lead us in the right direction. Our reactions towards someone we are attracted to can be premature or not well thought out. It is an endorphin like no other and like any drug, it makes people act differently.

“Crimes of Passion” are regular occurrences & well known to Police World Wide. Why does love turn some people into Dr. Jeckle & Mr. Hyde?

• Growing Insecurities
• Jealousy (fear of losing them to someone else)
• Wanting control over their partner
• Envy (more popular, better career, more confident)
• Sexually abusive

How far would you go to change for someone?

If your partner preferred blondes over your natural red hair would you change it for them? Shave off your beard? Go on a diet? Change careers? Move to Saudi Arabia or an Ashram? Engage in sexual fetishes for them? Just how much would you alter yourself to appease someone you loved?

There is nothing wrong with doing little things for each other so that you are more compatible. Taking up a new sport, or compromising on the home décor & vacation choices is acceptable & welcomed in a partnership. If you are constantly being harassed about changing who you are physically or mentally, this is unacceptable & surpasses any red flag query.

Jealousy can make you do crazy things when you are in love!

Some people have gone to great lengths to make someone jealous or get back at them because they were jealous. Is it really because they truly love that person, or is because they want their undivided attention more so and they are feeling rejected?

Desperate to Hold on To a Partner:

How many times have you heard about the manipulative female who wants to hold on to her man by getting pregnant? The boyfriend who uses female sensitivities to keep her in the relationship; “The children love you,” “My family will be devastated,” “I’m nothing without you.” This all blackmail to keep someone in this “dying” scenario. The big question is; why would you want to force someone into loving you? If it is not reciprocated it is not love. Many people do not know how to be alone & this becomes a fear that makes them do desperate things. Rejection is another powerful demon that plays havoc on people’s egos. Both sexes need to take time to reflect & calm down before they react to a hurtful situation. Retaliation is usually regretted when acted upon in anger.

Manipulative Things People Have Done For Love:

• Physically hurting themselves to get their partners attention.
• Trying to make their partner feel sorry for them.
• Stalking them when they are out with others or after a break-up.
• Reading their emails & texts due to lack of trust!
• Keeping friends away so they have total control without interference.
• Holding a damaging secret over their partner.
• Threaten to end their life if their partner leaves them.

Can “Doing Crazy Things For Love” be a Good thing in a Relationship?

There are numerous things that may be categorized as crazy but some of them can be a wonderful way to add excitement to a relationship. Doing something “off the wall” that is out of character can keep the fires burning at home. It shows spontaneity and creativity to think of innovative ways to enhance your partnership. It will never grow old if complacency is removed. Having realistic expectations will also help your relationship stay on a healthy path. Listen to each other, compromise on activities & social outings and never try to control or manipulate your partner. If both people always put each other first there won’t be room for games or manipulation because the respect will always be there, leaving the insecurities “behind” where they should be in a loving home.

My Interview with Rebecca Rosenblat Sex@11 With RogersTV Toronto

REBECCA ROSENBLAT’S INTERVIEW WITH DATING/RELATIONSHIP TALK SHOW HOST SUSAN MCCORD

PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO/AUDIO CLIP OF REBECCA & SUSAN
http://www.rogerstv.com/page.aspx?lid=237&rid=16&sid=2925&gid=91854

Rebecca’s Question:

1. We want to get sexy back – so can you please comment on how courtship fits into getting started with that?

Susan’s Answer:

We are stuck in the “guinea pig” stage of learning how to appreciate the “new” gender attitude… We are hiding behind technology with our computers & smart phones because we are all too busy & have forgotten how to talk to each other face to face.

Both sexes have taken on a somewhat defensive attitude when it comes to meeting a potential date. It is a protective coating that prevents us from getting hurt. (This is especially true with the over 30 demographic.)

We have to bring courtship back to have human contact so that the pheromones have a chance to circulate & allow a connection to transpire naturally.

2. Rebecca’s Question:

Another important factor is building a positive vibe, which often gets destroyed by misunderstandings – many of which are caused by gender differences. So can you please comment on some of the key differences that are likely to do that?

Susan’s Answer:

You are absolutely correct that this is a problem. Both sexes need to embrace the gender differences & appreciate them. We are all so confused as to what roles we should play these days.

• Women want men to be masculine but we can do everything ourselves now. Hey, even I have my own power drill

• Men want to bring home the buffalo so to speak, but they feel emasculated with how strong we have become in the work place & in a sexual environment as well. Women are more assertive now which is a good thing, but we still have to let our men feel masculine so they can respect THEMSELVES & who we are as well. Ask them for help once in awhile, praise them for something they did around the house etc. It’s not a pacifier it is a respect to the Testosterone they were given.

• Men need to appreciate women individually & quit lumping them all into naggy or materialist categories. Respect our Estrogen & new sexual aggression. Enjoy it rather than labeling them.

• In other words we need to let men be men & women be women. We have to stop trying to change each other into a clone of ourselves. It’s hard enough living with “us” on a daily basis why would we want to have two of us in one house?

“WE HAVE STEREOTYPED EACH OTHER SO SEVERELY THAT WE FIND FAULT IN EVERYONE WE MEET”


3. Rebecca’s Question:

To me, it’s those differences which help us work as a team – we wouldn’t hire people with identical skill sets, would we? So what’s your best piece of advice for people to appreciate those differences, instead of judging them and talking themselves out of possible relationships?

Susan’s Answer:

Quit sabotaging each person who comes into your life. Judging each other so harshly without getting to know someone is our own insecurities for the most part. It is all based around FEAR, especially if you have been hurt many times in the past. We all deserve love in our lives at every age!

Gone are the days of marrying your high school sweetheart till death do you part. Aproned June Cleaver Housewives are not the norm anymore & today if both people are working, they each have to contribute to the household/family. Relationships are much more about 50/50 & we have to stop fighting this.

Divorce is on the rise so there are many varied age groups single today. Dating scenarios affect both sexes from age 15 to 90! My grandmother had 3 husbands & a boyfriend when she died at 95. Our attitudes are much younger today, look at Betty White! This is why we have to learn how to be nice to each other & communicate. We are around a lot longer now to bug your ass.

4. Rebecca’s Question:

Of course this is just one of the many topics you tackle via your Podcasts. So can you please tell us the URLs for your YouTube channel and your web site, so people can learn lots more from you?

A Great New Dating Idea That Gets People Off Their Computers & Phones

I don’t know where I was last February when Blenz Coffee introduced the “Blenz Red Band” coffee sleeve at their numerous locations, but I am definitely aware of it now! This is a fantastic idea & so welcomed after all the hibernating many people do now with their computers & texting. Getting out and meeting each other face to face is almost an extinct form of communication these days. (Unless there is copious amounts of alcohol involved.)

This red band offers people a place to go for an inexpensive outing as well as a choice of options for meeting others. Some people may feel vulnerable putting themselves out there like this, but the sleeve does offer a selection of boxes to check off in the following categories:

1) Interested In: Male or Female (Which is great for straight or same sex meetups)
2) Friendship
3) Casual
4) Dating
5) Relationship

I applaud this marketing venture & I hope it continues on past the month of February each year. One of the reasons I started my Dating/Relationship Talk Show http://www.youtube.com/twobeavers a few years ago was to try to bring people back together by communicating with each other in a natural way. People are always talking about how Vancouver is such a tough place to date ~ We need to change that! Technology is amazing but we are not utilizing it to our best ability & hiding behind it instead. Online dating is a wonderful resource but we still need to interact once in awhile with other people. It doesn’t have to be a dating connection ~ sometimes meeting new friends is refreshing & offers new opportunities. Socializing is uplifting especially after a long winter.

Way to go Blenz for trying something different & helping people get together again! Let’s hope other establishments follow your lead. Cheers!

Susan McCord

Betty White & The Girl With A Tattoo ~ Vancouver Comedy Fest 2012

This video is something I will cherish of my night with Betty White in Vancouver. She truly is one of my mentors & judging by the vast age range of the audience at this performance, I am not alone. Young or older, people love Betty’s “shoot from the hip” comments & attitude. She gets away with some of the naughtiest comments that many people would usually cringe away from, except it is from a 90 year old woman who is hilarious.

Betty White is an exceptional woman that we can “all” learn from. She does not let age define her & actually uses it to her benefit. The shock value is priceless! Who would expect some of those “double entendre one liners” to come out of the mouth of a sweet older lady? I’ll bet she writes her own script for “Hot in Cleveland!”

Betty encourages others that with each passing birthday you don’t have to slow down your life plan. She shows us how to live our life regardless of age ~ she is an inspiration! Even though our body may change with each passing year, our mind can stay young & fresh if we choose to think with a young attitude.

Humor is the one tool that we are all blessed with to use as we choose. Laughter is the key to a youthful outlook & keeps our optimism alive. It is the only drug we should be addicted to, as it promotes longevity in everyone.

Thank you Betty White for being the woman I hope to be at 90 years old ~ You rock!
