I would like to share a new book Love, Life, and Lucille: Lessons Learned from a Centenarian published by Judy Gaman which I received a copy of in exchange for this review.
Love, Life, and Lucille: Lessons Learned from a Centenarian is a book you will want to share with everyone you love or call a friend. Don’t worry about the cover being more for women as men can learn so much about friendship in this book. As well as how we love someone can become very old but shouldn’t be forgotten as they have so much to share about life we’ve never experienced.
Like Judy Garman all of us go at top speed all the time not taking the time to stop and smell the roses. But after reading this book I plan on implementing this not only in my life but also in Charlie’s. As well as getting Charlie to spend time with those older than him not only in our neighborhood but by visiting local nursing homes.
I loved seeing how they meet people like Suzanne Summers and the things they brought to there lives. But be warned although you will laugh throughout this book you will also cry as the friendship here on Earth ends but isn’t forgotten. Just as it has with my grandparents
About:
Judy Gaman was so busy making a name for herself that she barely took the time to meet a stranger, enjoy life, or simply stop to breathe. Immersed in her job as the director of business development for a high-profile medical practice—a job that required her to write health and wellness books and host a nationally syndicated radio show—she spent every day going full speed ahead with no looking back. That is, until the day she met Lucille Fleming.
While writing a book on longevity, Judy interviewed Lucille, an elegant and spirited woman who had just recently turned 100. Lucille had the fashion and style of old Hollywood, but it was all hidden behind the doors of her assisted living center. What began as a quick meeting became a lasting friendship that transformed into an inseparable bond. Lucille brought incredible wisdom and great stories to the table, while Judy provided an avenue for excitement and new opportunities. Together, the two began living life to the fullest, and meeting the most interesting people along the way (including Suzanne Somers). But then Lucille’s life came to an end through unexpected and unfortunate circumstances—and the very first lesson she ever taught Judy proved to be the most important one of all.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
