No Senior Left Behind

I was heartbroken when I read this story a few months ago....


"City manager says utility followed policy on limiting man's electricity
A pathologist said a 93-year-old Bay City man froze to death inside his home - his body found days after city workers said they limited electricity flowing to the house.
Marvin E. Schur suffered "a slow, painful death" inside his home at 1600 S. Chilson St. on Bay City's southwest side, said Dr. Kanu Virani, who performed an autopsy on the body."

In today's tough times, it's sometimes very easy to forget about others and focus simply on ourselves and the trouble WE are having. If there's one thing I KNOW, it's that the best way to feel better about what's going on in MY life.....is to help someone else. Someone less fortunate.

Would Marvin E. Schur still be alive if a neighbor had simply decided to check in on him? I have a vision/goal for myself and my community to create a "No Senior Left Behind" group, policy, whatever....

Whatever it takes to make sure our seniors are looked out for. So many of them are barely making it on their social security income. So many of them are skipping medications that they desperately need to make them last longer because they are SO expensive.

I can't make EVERYTHING perfect...but I can provide an ear, a shoulder, a meal, an extra blanket.

If I can talk my senior center into turning this into something......even something small...perhaps we can save ONE person and Marvin E. Schur's death will have changed a community, a city, a state....a NATION.

The key to good health is MASSAGE!

MY MISSION: It is my intent to promote wellness through massage for all ages. I believe in the power of touch and would like to share that with as many people as possible. I feel that there is an exchange of an unseen energy when one gets a massage and that through the relationship of practitioner and client/patient a self-healing connection is created.

MY VISION: It is my hope to provide massage based on your individual needs and to foster a relationship based on trust and your particular path to healing.

MY VALUES: It is my belief that all people are of value and regard all beings as sacred. I wish to offer you a special place, a sanctuary, in times when you may need to disembark from your daily reality and to offer a nurturing touch. Experience touch with soul!
