from Chapter 12 Empowering the Silver Generation
Empowerment is what this book is really about: empowerment of those entering that age at the most amazing life-extending period in the history of the world; empowerment that will allow you to make the world work for you; empowerment to live your life as you choose—and take full advantage of the opportunities before you; and empowerment to carve and sculpt and reinforce and risk and enjoy life. Empowerment is also the confidence to know you can still contribute to the world in which you live—because you have spectacular potential within and also you are being given a strong ally in science and medicine. Empowerment is another way of taking charge of the situations that face those entering that age. It is the awareness that rights that you have are being trampled upon. It is the decision that those who would deprive you of your rights...are simply wrong. Empowerment is the moment that you truly decide this is not acceptable .... It is that moment you decide: “I will do whatever it takes to ensure that I am not pushed aside, treated unfairly or disrespectfully, or made to feel I am being prepared to be put out to pasture.” It is the moment you say: ``I will not allow a lifetime of knowledge, experience, and ability to go to waste!” In other words, it is that moment when you say, “Stop the world!” And truly decide, “From now on, we’re going to do things my way,” that you are empowered. It is also what I have referred to as Aging Defiantly!

About the Author
The author has published a number of poetry books for the mature from a personal perspective, dedicated to the last phase of life. In Scenes From a Summer Home, she finds there need not be boundaries between time and space, between beginnings and endings; while in Fear, Trembling & Renewal, she explores the theme of finding that when "the snow begins to fall," perhaps there is a way "to see the world anew" and--say a resounding YES! to life." In her first full length book: Aging Gracefully with Dignity, Integrity & Spunk Intact; subtitled Aging Definitely, Ms Roth seeks to paint a larger landscape whom she calls the dynamic, new Silver Generation for whom the 21st Century has begun to grant longevity and health, opening up endless opportunities for new dreams, new plans and as yet unchartered paths.
The author sees this new generation as robust and intelligent, highly skilled individuals, moving into their senior years, but not their vegetative ones. If they are to succeed in the achievements being made possible by science, medicine & technology, then, outmoded barriers and hurdles that stand in their way must be met head on as this Silver Generation moves into an era of unlimited possibilities forAging Gracefully with Dignity, Integrity and Spunk--and, yes, Aging Defiantly.
Ms. Roth sees new meaning in the words of Tennyson's for this new dynamic generation: Come my friends...T'is not toolate to seek a newer world...strong in will/to strive, to seek to find and not too yield. She invites the reader to join her on this exciting journey of the 21st Century into what may truly become: The Age of the Silver Generation.
