The Greatest Invention in Human History is Aging - Dr. Bill Thomas

Aired Wednesday, 13 April 2016, 4:00 PM ET

In 1991, Dr. Thomas went from being an emergency room physician to the medical director of a nursing home in upstate New York. “The place was depressing, with old people parked in wheelchairs like frogs on a log, bored with nothing to do, just waiting for death to finally reach them. It was horrible,” Dr. Thomas recalls.So he did the unthinkable.

He persuaded the facility and staff to get two dogs, four cats, several hens and rabbits, and 100 parakeets, along with hundreds of plants, a vegetable and flower garden, and a day-care site for staffers’ kids. At the time, there were laws prohibiting animals in nursing homes. They went ahead anyway.

Listen to the rest of Dr. Thomas’ story and find out how we can change our misconceptions about aging, being older and why we don’t need to fear our “elderhood.”

About the Guest Dr. Bill Thomas

Dr. Bill Thomas is an internationally recognized expert on aging. He is an Ashoka Fellow and winner of the Heinz Award for the Human Condition. He co-created The Eden Alternative, an international nonprofit, and The Green House Project, both models to revolutionize nursing home care. In addition to teaching, speaking, and consulting internationally, he is currently a Senior Fellow of AARP’s Life Reimagined Institute. A graduate of the State University of New York and Harvard Medical School, he lives in Ithaca, New York with his family.

The Health Benefits of Gardening with Chris Young, former entertainment talent agent turned professional gardener, author and fairy expert.

Aired Wednesday, 13 April 2016, 3:00 PM ET

Join us for this “WISDOM WEDNESDAY” at 12pm PST / 3pm EST on INSPIRED LIVING with MARC & KIM on OM TIMES RADIO: http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/inspired-living/

Chris began his career the Big Apple as the very first intern at Details Magazine, (when it was run by the great Annie Flanders). Following the internship, Chris landed his first job as an Assistant at the William Morris Talent Agency where he worked for a young James Dixon. James signed an unknown comic named Jon Stewart with whom Chris instantly hit it off. Jon eventually tapped Chris to book the standup comics for his MTV talk show.

Chris eventually left that position to become the Director of Talent at Comedy Central where he played a large role in some of the network’s early milestones. He was at the conference table the first time Debbie Liebling brought in the “South Park” animated short and casted the first version of “The Daily Show,” where he was reunited with Jon Stewart. Throughout his time at Comedy Central, Chris also worked with Amy Poehler on “Upright Citizens Brigade as well as Amy Sedaris, Paul Denallo, and Stephen Colbert on the twisted “Strangers with Candy.”

Now, Chris’ days are devoted to writing and following his passion of gardening including tending to his own garden, “Tiny Sur” where he gets most of his inspiration and has earned multiple certifications. In his book “Is That A Fairy?”, young readers can enjoy real sounds from Tiny Sur and hear the real barks from Chris’ beloved beagle Daisy, who inspired the loveable canine companion of the main character in the book.

Chris currently resides in Laurel Canyon, California with his husband Jon, Daisy the beagle, 3 cats, a tortoise, a pond full of fish and over 30,000 honeybees.

Join Kelli Fox who will be talking about the signs of the zodiac. There are twelve signs in the Zodiac, one for each month of the year. Unfortunately, the signs and the calendar don’t align perfectly. The Zodiac begins in mid-March, not on January first; and signs span from roughly the 20th or 21st of one month to the 19th or 20th of the next, not the 1st to the 31st. (Are you confused yet? No? Good!)

When someone asks you what your sign is, they’re referring to your Sun Sign — where the sun was in the Zodiac at the exact moment of your birth. But every other planet in your birth chart is also located in a particular sign, and is influenced by that sign’s unique energy. This explains why everyone who’s born under the influence of the same Sun Sign can still have such vastly different personalities; each of us is made up of a complex and unique combination of influences from the twelve signs, the twelve houses and all the planets, asteroids and points… Now, that’s definitely getting complicated! But clearly, having lots of planets in a certain sign in your chart will only intensify that sign’s influence in your life.

Each sign of the Zodiac is associated with a particular symbol, usually an animal, like the Ram (Aries) or the Bull (Taurus); an element, such as Air (Gemini) or Water (Cancer); and a quality, such as Fixed (Leo) or Mutable (Virgo). Each of these variables helps us to understand more about the signs that influence us and the energy inherent in each.

As we enter into the Age of Aquarius our inner Goddess energy is being fired up, regardless if you’re male or female, you must embrace this feminine side which is awakening in all of us.

Since we’ve been living in the masculine energy for so long, adapting to the feminine energy to intertwine balance is not a simple as A, B, C.

This week we will be discussing the importance of balancing the masculine & feminine energy that your soul requires to come into harmony with who you truly are. Keeping your energy cleared & balanced is a simple process that can be done with professionals who have been trained to tap into Universal Source Energy and are guided to administer Reiki where needed.
