Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - On Thursday, March 19th at 7:00 pm, Norma Schuh and Dan Grippo will present 'Creative Aging' at the International Friendship Club.

Every moment of life really is an incredible gift that brings with it special blessings and unique challenges. The aging experience can be a time of celebration - of thriving - not just surviving. As actress Sophia Loren observed, "The fountain of youth exists in your mind, your talents, and the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love."

Whatever your age, whatever your situation, "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are," in the words of author Joseph Campbell.

This presentation on Creative Aging will invite you to celebrate the gift of aging and offer some tools and new ways of thinking about and approaching the later years so that no matter your circumstances or "limitations" (another word for "opportunities") you can ensure that these years are indeed golden!

Norma Schuh is a playwright, actress, author, and presenter. She holds a Master's Degree in Human Development with a special interest in spirituality, aging, mortality and humor. In Puerto Vallarta she has conducted workshops and written for various local media. She is an adjunct instructor at St. Mary's University in Minneapolis, where she teaches Confronting Personal Mortality as part of the Human Development Masters Program.
