Aging is Not for the Faint of Heart

Unity Center of Norwalk is hosting a workshop by Rev. Arlene entitled, “Aging is Not for The Faint of Heart”.

Everybody is aging. Harvard Medical School, in its newsletter, stated that “From the moment of conception, each of our cells - and, hence, our tissues and organs - begins a process of aging. Early in life, of course, we are still growing and expanding the number of cells that we have. The cells are aging, but so slightly that we can't see it: we just see the body growing and developing.”

It goes on to say, “At some point in life, often in the 30's, the tell-tale signs of aging begin to be apparent. They can be seen in everything from our vital signs (like blood pressure) to our skin, to our bones and joints, to our cardiovascular, digestive, and nervous systems, and beyond. Some aging changes begin early in life. For example, your metabolism starts to gradually decline beginning at about age 20. Changes in your hearing, on the other hand, do not usually begin until age 50 or later.”

So, we are all aging. Usually, as the years pass, there are challenges we may not have had to deal with before.

In this workshop, Arlene shares facts about aging and positive steps we can take to make aging a time of dignity, grace, and wisdom instead of fear and regrets.

At age 83, Arlene shares her personal experiences and insights from many professionals who study and address the challenges of aging. This workshop aims to support everyone—those facing aging themselves or caring for loved ones who are aging—by offering encouragement, support, and hope during this inevitable process we all go through.

Rev. Arlene has been an ordained Unity Minister since 2003 and has served as a senior minister at several Unity churches. She has also spoken at churches across the United States and Canada. At age 83, she is currently dealing with aging. The workshop will be held on Sunday, April 12th, at 12:30, and will be offered on a love-offering basis. Everyone is welcome.
