Happy Thanksgiving from the Lives Well Lived Team

I'm a huge fan of Thanksgiving! I love everything about it: gathering with friends and family, and relishing in all of the festivities! And the FOOD--don't get me started!

BUT MOST OF ALL it is the time spent with my closest friends and family that makes me smile inside and out. Finding out about others by asking open-ended questions and truly listening to their stories.

As you get together with your loved ones this holiday season, I encourage you to open up the dialogue, ask questions, listen, and learn from each other, deepening your relationship connections.

If you need a bit of inspiration, watch Lives Well Lived with your loved ones, then use the questions from our discussion guide to have some interesting conversations.

HONOR AND RESPECT

Please join Lives Well Lived to celebrate our nation's Veterans and the freedom they’ve afforded us.

Pictured here is Leo Kikuchi, the spouse of one of the film stars, SUSY ETO BAUMAN. Thanks to San Luis Obispo's Tribune and Dan Krieger for writing this article that highlights his journey through the eyes of Susy.

Susy along with 120,000 other Americans were forcibly removed to internment camps based on their Japanese ancestry. Leo was determined to show that they were patriotic and joined the Army.

“Retirement isn’t what it used to be: Find your purpose and avoid getting stuck.” ✨

“Overcoming the challenge of redefining your sense of purpose in retirement involves a deliberate shift in perspective and a journey of self-discovery.” I am honored that Richard Eisenberg cited me and my book, 'Lives Well Lived — GENERATIONS,' in his new MarketWatch piece! The article also features Janine Vanderburg, whose powerful story in my book sheds light on ageism.

The article underscores why retirement should be a time of purpose, renewal, and connection — not limitations. Let’s reimagine this next chapter with intention and hope! 🌟

SECOND CHAPTERS and Costco Connections!

Last August, I had the honor of being featured in their "Second Chapters" article, which was all about people taking bold steps to start new careers. It was a thrill to share my journey alongside so many inspiring stories of reinvention and new beginnings. I’m excited to be part of a magazine that’s not only massive in reach but also celebrates fresh starts and lifelong learning.

The New York Times recently published an article highlighting Costco Connections magazine as the nation's third largest magazine. With 15.4 million copies mailed to members each month and another 300,000 distributed in warehouses, it’s one of the most widely read publications in the country. That's a lot of eyeballs! 👀✨

I’m honored to have been featured in Costco Connection's "Second Chapters" article, showcasing inspiring stories of people who embarked on new careers. It’s incredible to share my journey with such a vast audience and to be part of a magazine that reaches millions.

Thrilled to share that The New York Times just spotlighted Fugetsu-Do and its incredible journey in Little Tokyo! 🎉 The story features Brian Kito, who’s not only carrying on his family's sweet legacy but also shares his story in my upcoming documentary, Mochitsuki. 🍡✨ This photo is from my interview with him!

In the Mochitsuki film, we explore the history of the Japanese American experience through the tradition of Mochitsuki. Brian's story, along with many others, shines a light on resilience, cultural celebration, and the deep connections that bind generations.

Let’s celebrate these stories and traditions that keep history alive. ❤️

Dive into the NY Times article to learn how Fugetsu-Do continues to sweeten Little Tokyo’s history.

Today is AGEISM AWARENESS DAY! - a perfect opportunity to raise the visibility of one of the most widespread and socially accepted forms of prejudice.

"Ageism refers to the stereotypes (how we think), prejudice (how we feel) and discrimination (how we act) toward others or oneself based upon age."
― from The Global Report on Ageism

Ageism affects us from both ends of the spectrum. Let's envision a future where different generations embrace each other with understanding and compassion. Today, let's spotlight the reality and influence of ageism in our communities and explore ways to positively reshape our perceptions of aging.

True fulfillment comes from experiencing life within a vibrant intergenerational community. How can you deepen your connection with the seniors in your surroundings? Let's embark on this journey towards change by actively fostering intergenerational bonds.

How are you contributing to this movement?

AGEISM AWARENESS DAY!!!

Ageism Awareness Day is tomorrow and is an opportunity to draw attention to the existence and impact of ageism in our society and how we can reframe aging in our communities.

"Ageism refers to stereotypes (how we think), prejudice (how we feel), and discrimination (how we act) toward others or ourselves based on age. It negatively impacts our health and well-being, our financial security, and the economy. It exists in many forms, influencing everything from personal interactions to public policy, and impacts us at every age.

The good news is that we can do something about it, and we begin by spreading the word on Ageism Awareness Day Oct. 9, 2024."
ASA (American Society on Aging)

Ageism Awareness Day is coming up on Wednesday, October 9th!

Let’s take action by starting real conversations about aging and smashing stereotypes. 💥 Be a role model for change!

People with a more positive self-perception of aging live 7.5 years LONGER than those with less positive perceptions.

Together, we can keep the momentum going and shine a light on ageism. 💬✨

🌟 Celebrating International Day of Older Persons 🌟

On 14 December 1990, the United Nations General Assembly designated October 1 as the International Day of Older Persons. According to the UN, virtually every country in the world is experiencing growth in both the size and the proportion of older persons in the population.

"Ageism is a widely prevalent and prejudicial attitude that stems from the assumption that age discrimination, and sometimes neglect and abuse of older persons is a social norm and therefore, acceptable. It is a reality in some form in all societies, and finds expression in individuals’ attitudes, institutional and policy practices, as well as media representation that devalue and exclude older persons."

Such discrimination shapes how older persons are treated and perceived by their societies, including in medical settings and workplaces, creating environments that limit older persons’ potential and impact their health and well-being. The failure to tackle ageism undermines older persons’ rights and hinders their contributions to social, economic, cultural and political life."

Today is the perfect day to change that narrative and to celebrate the wisdom, experience, and contributions of our older adults. "A longer life brings with it opportunities, not only for older people and their families but also for societies as a whole. Additional years provide the chance to pursue new activities such as further education, a new career, or pursuing a long-neglected passion. Older people also contribute in many ways to their families and communities."

🎧✨ Podcast Alert! ✨🎧
Tune in to my latest chat on the Live Long and Master Aging podcast with Peter Bowes!

I had the pleasure of joining Peter Bowes on the Live Long and Master Aging podcast to discuss the journey behind Lives Well Lived and my new book, Lives Well Lived — Generations.

As Peter thoughtfully put it:
"Sky Bergman's film, Lives Well Lived, explored the joys of growing old, the value of wisdom, and the appreciation of life. Through interviews with people aged 75 and older, the documentary highlighted the resilience, sense of joy and positivity that come with age.

The film has now evolved into a book, 'Lives Well Lived — Generations,' where Sky shares her personal journey of embracing aging, cherishing every wrinkle and gray hair, and fostering connections across generations. She explores the significance of meaningful conversations between young and older individuals, combating ageism, and promoting mutual understanding."

In our conversation, we discuss how these experiences have not only reshaped my understanding of aging but also inspired me to foster intergenerational connections and live fully in the moment. Tune in for an uplifting discussion on life, resilience, and the wisdom that comes with age!

Am I becoming the person I want to be for the rest of my life?

Celebrating 59 trips around the sun today! 🎉 This photo of my parents bringing me home from the hospital is one of my absolute favorites – look at my dad in his med school white coat and my mom with high heels! It’s wild to think about their journey into parenthood just beginning.

Birthdays are the perfect time to reflect, dream, and most of all, stay present and grateful for all the moments that make life sweet. This year, I’m asking myself: How can I keep growing, lifting others up, and making time for the things that matter most? Here’s to continuing the journey and becoming the best version of me! 💫

FIND WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!

“My definition of a life well lived is one that is spent finding the things that make you happy and pursuing them.”
—Andrew Parzych, Lives Well Lived Intergenerational Project Participant

Humanity teaches us that it's the experience of life in a richly complex intergenerational community that brings joy and fulfillment. In what ways can you connect more fully with the older adults in your life? Let's create change together by intentionally seeking out intergenerational connections.

PBS Learning Media and Lives Well Lived can help:
