Its been a while since there has been a post, my apologies. There have been many exciting things going on with the business including news interviews, trade shows, and contacts. It has been really encouraging and enjoyable to have so much support and success recently. Out DVD really is on many levels one of a kind. Read the excerpt from a recent email,

“Today we showed my 80 year old mother ‘A Night to Remember”. I would have to say, on almost every level that you expected it would connect, it does. It evoked her memories of her relationship with my father. It evoked the era. She recognized that there were some production “flaws” but they didn’t interfere with her enjoyment of the experience. She’s a very aware and alive 80 year old, and I trust the perspective. It validated what I thought when Greg and I watched it. It’s just a matter of finding a reasonably efficient way to connect with buyers. “Very nice, relaxing, DVD, which did evoke a lot of memories” (is a direct quote as my husband and mother discuss it in the background)”

Life is fun right now for producers this DVD. People of all ages are benefiting from it, seniors because it is made for them and they can relate; activity directors because it alleviates stress in their workplace; and boomers and their children because t reassures them to know they bought a product that is truly made for them and enriches their lives.

Recently we moved my 88 year old Grandpa to the memory care unit of a local senior home. It is absolutely beautiful and such a wonderful place for him to be. People are friendly and take an interest in his life. I began walking with him 4 days a week since he can no longer out unattended. This is definitely a switch for everyone. He is used to being out whenever he would like without supervision. Because he gets lost and confused…this is no longer an option for him. The interesting thing is that sometimes he knows that he gets lost and doesn’t understand when or why it happens.  What struck me is that he doesn’t recognize life in his own brain, nor in the world around him…everything is still foreign and he still asks to go home almost everyday. Since he is unable to provide a consistent and recognizable life on his own… how much more important is it for those around him to provide consistency and reminders for him. DVDs like “Night To Remember” remind him of life, the music speaks to his heart and calm him, when everything around him seems unfamiliar, “Night To Remember” is as close as he will be to home.
