Critical thinking, long-distance relationships and reading with Evelyn Brindle
Episode #46 - Evelyn Brindle lives at The Village of Erin Meadows in Mississauga with her husband David. A conversation about critical thinking, long-distance relationships, and unexpected travel with Erin Davis & Doug Robinson on the Green Bench. ”If you just stop and talk with somebody. Everybody’s got a story. You don’t have to have a movie of the week or a book made about you.” - Erin Davis The Village has a library that is well used. The continuous increase of books that are brought in and mixed around. Evelyn always snuck a book into her grandchildren’s stockings at Christmas to encourage reading. What are your book recommendations? ”It’s so important to have the ability to read and to enjoy what you are reading.” - Evelyn Brindle Subscribe, rate, and review our podcast on any network and share your thoughts on social media using the #ElderWisdom tag to help others find us. The Green Bench is a symbol of elder wisdom. Physically or virtually, the bench invites us all to sit alongside a senior, share a conversation, or give and offer advice. It challenges the stigma seniors face; the ageism still so prevalent in society. It reminds us of the wealth of wisdom our elders offer and in doing so, helps restore them to a place of reverence. ”The greatest untapped resource in Canada, if not the world, is the collective wisdom of our elders.” -Ron Schlegel
