Imagine waking up so groggy that you can barely make your morning coffee when all of a sudden an apparition dressed in a gaudy outfit appears on your living room couch and commences to organize the rest of your life. Well, that apparition is Aurora and she’s come to council Helen a robustly healthy seventy-two-year-old who will soon realize that she has a lot to learn from Aurora, who for the next few weeks will be her "Guardian Godmother Guide to the Happiness of Organization". Such is the creative plot to a book written by today’s guest who is also a publisher at Savour Europe, a magazine for travelers planning to make Europe their home for 3-6 months a year, a writer of narrative non-fiction as well as since 2007 the Chief Executive Officer for Your Health Span http://www.yourhealthspan.ca and currently serves as Director of Outreach for MagCast.
Aurora and Helen are characters from her book “Live Life Fully” and it is my pleasure to welcome the books author Jill Burk to our show.

Award-winning educator and author Valerie Foster discusses her book “The Risk of Sorrow: Conversations with Holocaust Survivor Helen Handler”. Foster, a retired high school teacher met Handler when she invited her to speak in her English class. “The minute I saw her I felt like I had known her forever. It really was one of those rare, immediate bonds” said Foster in a 2014 Jewish News interview. They met once a week for two years so Foster could preserve Handler’s testimony in written form.
Special thanks to Anthony D. Fusco Jr., Associate Director of Education at the Arizona Jewish Historical Society.

For the past 92 years Dorothy Neff has been and continues to hone her musical skills in a variety of ways. I was recently invited to visit with her in her enchanting ranch home in Ridgewood New Jersey where she took me on a tour of her hallway photo gallery. Our interview was occasionally interrupted by a tiny guest who Dorothy happily introduced to me. A phone call during this interview brought out another interest that Dorothy was pursuing. Though she no longer teaches the Suzuki method Dorothy reminisced about her many students.
