But if you don’t have time to register, you can still join us with this link to the event on Zoom. We start at 7 pm eastern.

Come meet all the wonderful people who have volunteered their time to get the word out about how we are changing views about life as we age.

If you’re looking for some inspiration about what to write today, check out the latest prompt from Crow’s Feet writer Robin James. The topic is nostalgia, and Robin asks us “What scent snaps you back in time? Is there a song or jingle that reminds you of your youth? What foods or meals help you remember old times?”

See you tonight at the podcast premiere!
