This week on the Aging Today podcast, I interviewed Laura Davis, author, and writing teacher. Laura relates the riveting story of her embattled relationship with a mother she loved. In The Burning Light of Two Stars: A Mother-Daughter Story, Laura tells the story of her mother, Temme, who moved across the country to entrust her daughter with the rest of her life. She brings a faltering mind, a fierce need for independence, and the seeds of a second war between them. As the stresses of caregiving rekindle Laura's rage over past betrayals, they threaten her intention to love her mother, finally, "without reservation." AgingToday.us

This week on the Aging Today podcast, I interviewed Diane Leveton, an insurance and financial consultant. Diane explains financial plans and solutions for long-term care. We talked about what it means to become a care advocate in these times. After all, there is nothing easy or gentle about aging and plenty of confusion about how to deal with it. With many options and even more questions, it’s easy for anyone to become exhausted by the research and procrastinate their way into decision paralysis. However, there’s help. Advocates such as Diane, an insurance and financial professional specializing in long-term care solutions and transitions, can act as a guide, find the answers to difficult questions, and advocate on your behalf.

Why is the music surrounding the holidays so impactful and memorable in our lives? The 1940s especially produced significant holiday music from songwriters like Irving Berlin, crooners like Bing Crosby, and big bands like the Glenn Miller Orchestra, just to name a few. Music helped the world climb out of a terrible war and light up the holidays with a new-found joy. Our good friend, Steve Toll of ComForCare, joins us on today's show introducing our listeners to the many sounds of holiday music we all remember. Sing along and pass the eggnog! #Portland
