Minx Boren, M.C.C.What attracted you to teach for OLLI at FAU?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been taking classes \u2013 in music, politics, literature, art and so much more- at Lifelong Learning since it first opened. I want to be able to contribute to this wonderful initiative that supports and enriches the lives of so many.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What inspires you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Human initiative and ingenuity and creativity and determination all inspire me. In the midst of all too many doom and gloom concerns about the state of the world, what gives me hope every day are the millions of possibilities, many in the infinite realms of what we don\u2019t yet even know we don\u2019t know, that might yet be possible.<\/p>\n

Being a 2013 recipient of the Giraffe Award \u2013 presented by the Women\u2019s Chamber of Commerce to women who \u201cstick their neck out for others.\u201d Serving as president of Executive Women of the Palm Beaches in 2013-14.<\/p>\n

What do you think students will enjoy most about your topic?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we grow older, our lives become more and more rich with experience, memories, wisdom, and blessings. Taking the time to name and reflect upon the fullness of our years can shift our outlook about past, present, and future to a more abundantly gratifying (and useful) perspective.<\/p>\n
