					<description><![CDATA[<p>Age only becomes a limitation when we stop growing, stop contributing, or stop aspiring toward something greater. Why confine ourselves with pity titles about age and self-worth? Live with vitality at every stage &#8211; giving our best, focusing on what we can control, inspiring, and serving.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><a href="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/paul_china_3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-87127 aligncenter" src="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/paul_china_3.jpg" alt="" width="608" height="1080" srcset="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/paul_china_3.jpg 608w, https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/paul_china_3-169x300.jpg 169w, https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/paul_china_3-576x1024.jpg 576w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px" /></a></div>
<div>I am not afraid of growing old. Let the wrinkles come—I will wear them like medals, proof that I have laughed, cried, and lived deeply. Let my skin loosen and fold like pages in a well-loved book. Let my hair silver and shine, a crown earned by years of stories.</div>
<div>I do not fear the quiet. Solitude is no stranger; I have learned to make peace with my own company. I have sat in stillness and found strength there. I know how to rest in the silence without being swallowed by it.</div>
<div>But what unsettles me is something else—fate. That unpredictable force that sometimes tucks you in at night like a loving hand and other times leaves you standing in the rain, forgotten and cold.</div>
<div>I do not want to become a burden—a sigh of exhaustion behind closed doors. I do not want my presence to feel heavy in the room or my name to be whispered in tones of weariness. I do not want my dependence to become someone else’s silent sacrifice.</div>
<div>I want to be like the wind—restless, moving, always dancing forward. I want my old age to be a poem of resilience, a morning brewed with memories, a sunset painted with hope. I want to keep learning, keep loving, keep discovering—never stagnant, never finished.</div>
<div>I do not fear aging. I fear being boxed in by a life I didn’t choose—a life that shrinks instead of expands.</div>
<div>So I will keep walking forward, not clinging to what was, but embracing what still can be.</div>
<div>And if the day comes when my steps falter and I lean on others more than I would like, I will offer my gratitude freely, never forgetting that love is not a burden—it’s a gift.</div>
<div>To those who carry others with patience and tenderness—you are the quiet heroes of this world. Thank you</div>
<div>Holmes</div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On August 8, the United Nations Headquarters on the eastern shore of Manhattan, New York, hosted a special event dedicated to children. A group of young artists, averaging around 10 years old, showcased their imaginative art at the UN headquarters. On this day, dozens of children attended the event to engage in collaborative art creation, interact face-to-face with UN representatives, and give speeches sharing their unique insights on sustainable development. This event was not only a display of artistic creativity but also a profound educational experience.</p>
<p><a href="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/anobo_1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-85455 aligncenter" src="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/anobo_1.jpg" alt="" width="506" height="337" srcset="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/anobo_1.jpg 506w, https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/anobo_1-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px" /></a></p>
<p>The event, titled “2024 ANOBO &#8216;1 World&#8217; Children’s Global Competence Education Panel Discussion at the United Nations Headquarters, New York,”was organized by the NO-BOundaries nonprofit organization in collaboration with various international schools, institutions, and artists. The 2024 annual children’s global competence education launch kicked off with a special exhibition featuring creative art pieces from children across the globe, conveying their vivid ideas and feelings. The exhibition hall displayed the artworks sequentially, with the children’s dynamic brushstrokes coming to life in vibrant colors, presenting a cross-cultural and artistic feast. The exhibition comprised two sections: &#8220;Growing Peace&#8221; and &#8220;1 Planet.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Growing Peace&#8221; featured collaborative art created by students from Beijing Montessori International School, Italian artist Jacopo Della Ragione, and New York youth. Children from Beijing and their peers in New York worked together to produce a symbolic piece of art. Young artists such as Feiyu Chen, Ziming Huang, Valerie Wang, Nova Wang, Jerry Zhang, Jay Wu, Joshua Minghong Li, Louise Roux, Lucas Wang, Lucien Wang, Vincent Liu, William Wu, William Zhang, Xinyang Qin, Xinyue Qin, Yitong Wang, and Zuzanna Pawlaczyk-Pan, guided by artist Jacopo Della Ragione, contributed to this creation. Their artwork conveys the ideas of cooperation and respect, aiming to promote awareness and pursuit of peace on Earth.</p>

<p>The art was drawn on paper cut into the shape of two hands coming together to form a peace dove. The children used colored crayons to freely depict their longing for world peace. These drawings were then attached to a &#8220;tree&#8221; outlined by the children, symbolizing the vibrant life of peace thoughts and the growth of children nurturing dreams of peace.</p>
<p>The &#8220;1 Planet&#8221; section emphasizes human connections, linking young artists from different regions to create collaboratively. Each child painted their vision of the world on a semi-circular paper representing half of a &#8220;planet.&#8221; These &#8220;half-worlds&#8221; were matched with another child’s artwork to merge into &#8220;1 World.&#8221; The process highlighted the diverse understandings of a single planet, showing how future developments are rooted in history, and how cultural respect and exchange enrich the macrocosm of our universe.</p>

<p>The fusion of art and education allowed the children’s boundless imaginations to be concretized and visualized, further stimulating their creativity. Through the artistic creation process, children actively discovered and explored the world, understood their connection to it, recognized its diversity, and developed an awareness of “unity in diversity” while expressing their hopes for peace and envisioning the future world. This unique educational approach enlightens the children’s minds, helping them build bridges between themselves and the broader world through exploration and discovery.</p>

<p>During the interactive session, host Wang Zaozao invited Khalid Sulaiman Ba Omar, Permanent Observer of the Gulf Cooperation Council to the United Nations, and Henry Ye, Director of the NO-BOundaries nonprofit organization, to interact with the children. Omar encouraged the children to fully utilize their artistic talents to contribute to world peace and become future peace ambassadors.</p>

<p>Subsequently, representatives from Beijing Montessori International School, China Soong Ching Ling Youth Science and Culture Exchange Center, ANOBO Global Sustainable Development Goal Ambassadors, and bloggers Guo Yushan, Michael Xiang, Du Kefi, Qian Kangming, Roger Eckner, and Allyana Filiault etc took turns giving speeches on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, expressing their understanding and hopes regarding environmental protection, poverty alleviation, and international cooperation.</p>
<p>The children’s speeches on sustainable development not only showcased their deep understanding of the topic but also reflected their valuable experiences gained through hands-on practice. On August 1 and 2, student representatives from the ANOBO “1 world” children’s global competence education program participated in the Educational Field Program at  Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. They collaborated with leading geologists, marine scientists, and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory team to explore the Hudson River field station and the Earth and Polar Sciences Department. Guided by researchers, the children learned about marine food chains, conducted water quality and clarity tests, compared glacier melting rates, and analyzed laboratory data to deepen their scientific understanding. This experience enhanced their scientific inquiry skills and deepened their environmental awareness, instilling a sense of responsibility for the future and driving them to become active advocates and ambassadors for sustainable development.</p>

<p>This special panel disscussion was not just a practice in art education but also an exploration of the world. It is believed that the event will nurture the children’s creativity and imagination, inspire their hopes for peace and visions for a sustainable future, and encourage them to broaden their horizons and strengthen their sense of social responsibility. Let us look forward to these hopeful seeds blossoming into brilliant flowers in the future, bringing more beauty to the world!</p>

&#8220;Pollack’s titular hero shines; she’s likable and relatable, an even blend of relatable worries and drama-queen moments&#8230;.  An endearing, plucky girl endures and overcomes in this absorbing quick read.&#8221;<br />
&#8211;Kirkus Reviews</p>
<p>Ever since she was in fourth grade – back in 1960 – Amy Meislin Pollack was writing and telling stories about a character named Jelly Bean. She never stopped telling those stories, sharing them with her students over a teaching career that spanned 40+ years. She shared them with her three children when they were younger – and then with her seven grandchildren. Now her stories have been made available to everyone with the recent publishing of two coming-of-age books intended for middle-graders, The Adventures of Jelly Bean and The Further Adventures of Jelly Bean.</p>
<p>“My books touch upon topics of friendship, popularity, death, race, drugs, alcohol, feeling neglected, family issues, and the types of things many kids today are confronting as they look to find their way in an ever-changing world,” says Pollack.</p>
<p>The Adventures of Jelly Bean and The Further Adventures of Jelly Bean are the stories of a fourth-grader who faces challenges that just about all children her age can recognize.  Her parents don’t approve of her favorite friend in the whole world. She has trouble getting along with the brother who is closest in age to her.  The uncle she loves so much is about to marry the most awful woman she could ever imagine, and the girl who used to be her best friend has turned on her. Jelly Bean faces these and other stumbling blocks, including: the difficulties in achieving and maintaining popularity and how important having certain friends should be to her; difficulties inherent in relationships with various friends and family members; and learning how to make decisions on her own.  In these first two books of my middle-grade series, Jelly Bean comes to understand that much of life is trial and error, and that the only constant in life is that it is always changing.</p>
<p>Pollack is available to discuss the following:</p>
<p>Why coming-of-age stories are always needed for children.</p>
<p>What parents can do when they have strong disagreements with their children.</p>
<p>Why some kids need help making friends and dealing with issues of popularity.</p>
<p>The dialogues she hopes to see people launch into as a result of her books.</p>
<p>Solid generational advice that still holds true for our youth confronting challenges.</p>
<p>What parents need to know about raising healthy and successful kids today.</p>
<p>How grandparents and parents can help kids navigate the problems of growing up today.</p>
<p>Why a retired teacher of four decades and a grandma of seven recently took to publishing her middle-grade fiction after developing the story 60 years ago.</p>
<p>About The Adventures of Jelly Bean:</p>
<p>What if the start to your day was falling into the toilet, which caused you to miss your carpool, that in turn caused you to get to school late, that ultimately caused you to miss getting one of the decent parts in the upcoming Thanksgiving play? That is exactly what happens to fourth-grader Jelly. Bean on the day we first meet her. Things only go downhill from there and no one at home seems to have much time for her. Except Roger-Over, her beloved dog.</p>
<p>About The Further Adventures of Jelly Bean:</p>
<p>Jelly Bean in the continuation of her adventures as she seeks solutions to the challenges that confronted her in book 1. Michael, her oldest brother, has dropped out of school and joined the Marines, which usurps much of her parents&#8217; attention. Kylie, the new girl in school, faces a medical emergency. And Jelly Bean is still forbidden from going to her best friend&#8217;s house.</p>
<p>She has to decide how to deal with these dilemmas and more. Along the way she learns about love, death, pain, relationships, the difference between right and wrong and the value of friendship. See the world through the eyes of this forthright fourth-grader as she discovers two truths about life &#8211; that it is always complicated, and always changing.</p>
<p>5-Star Amazon Reviews:</p>
<p>“Understanding a young girl’s feelings, capturing her mind’s world in a fun, loving way. This debut novel will win the hearts of school children because they will relate, feel heard and laugh along the way.”  *****</p>
<p>“I am so glad I was with my grandchildren (11 &amp; 12 years old, boy and girl) when they both read the book! They had planned on sharing the book by reading one chapter then letting the other read one…but they had such trouble giving up the book!! Each chapter simply made them want to continue on!” *****</p>
<p>“Bought this for my 12-year-old granddaughter. She read it easily, and had a good time following the stories. Beautiful, fun illustrations.” *****</p>

<p>Why Bamboo? No, not because we sell bamboo. It’s an analogy that growing companies is like growing Bambootrees, and both offer a great metaphorical lesson. Unlike normal crops that you can harvest annually, the Chinese Bamboo tree takes a little longer. The process goes like this: You take a little seed, plant it, water it, and fertilize it and nothing happens for four years. Then, sometime during the fourth year, the Chinese bamboo tree sprouts and grows ninety FEET IN SIX WEEKS! The story of the Bamboo tree is much like growing a company- you have to have faith, belief and persistence.</p>
<p>Additionally, it is a story of stability, structure, and maturity. It&#8217;s about laying down and growing the ROOTS that will become the FOUNDATION to support MASSIVE growth.<br />
In becoming an entrepreneur, growing companies, or growing as a person, remember to always be watering your tree, growing roots and building your foundation</p>
<p>WHAT IS MONETAPRO? <a href="https://monetapro.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.MonetaPro.io</a> (<a href="https://monetapro.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.monetapro.io/</a>)<br />
MonetaPro is a trade-for-credit, B2B exchange that allows companies to list goods and services available for trade-in a closed-loop platform. Upon the trade of an item, the Company does not receive cash but instead receives an internal trade credit called a G-BUC (pronounced “G-BUCK,” which stands for General Business Usage Credit) which can then be used immediately to purchase other goods and services from approved trade companies in the platform.<br />
The MonetaPro exchange provides a centralized global trading venue for companies to trade with existing partners as well as find new ones. Locating a trading partner is as simple as entering the type and amount of goods or services desired within the powerful search engine designed by MonetaPro. Negotiating and executing trades are both fast and easy. Tracking and reporting trade activity is in real-time.<br />
All aspects of ownership become decentralized and recorded, and the audit trail becomes more transparent and efficient. The system utilizes leading-edge, private blockchain technology to deliver better efficiency, more liquidity, and trust to the global trade industry.<br />
The overall result? Lower transaction costs, ease of locating a new trade partner, executing a trade, and tracking each trade from start to finish.</p>

<a href="http://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-31-at-10.13.04-PM.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-67118" src="http://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-31-at-10.13.04-PM-300x191.png" alt="" width="720" height="405" /></a><br />

<p>&#8220;Gray Matters invites readers to reexamine what they think they know about growing old. Offering succinct close readings of richly diverse cultural texts, Lem’s book presents literature as a resource for dealing with the practical and existential concerns of aging. With its interdisciplinary grounding in age studies theory and sociological data, Gray Matters is itself a valuable resource for readers ready to reorient their view of later life.&#8221;</p>
<p>——<em> Erin Lamb, co-editor of Research Methods in Health Humanities</em></p>
<p>Aging is one of the most compelling issues today, with record numbers of seniors over sixty-five worldwide! Gray Matters: Finding Meaning in the Stories of Later Life examines a diverse array of cultural works including films, literature, and even art that represent this time of life, often made by people who are seniors themselves from all walks of life from the rich and famous to the everyday person in our towns and neighborhoods.</p>
<p>Ellyn has been on multiple programs such as &#8220;The Morning Blend&#8221; (TMJ4TV &#8211; Milwaukee), and she can speak on topics focused on aging such as:</p>
<p>· How people&#8217;s personal stories of aging connect with writers&#8217; portrayals<br />
· Senior parents and their adult children<br />
· Housing options<br />
· Memory Loss<br />
· Intimacy<br />
· Men and Women (Differences and Similarities)<br />
· Money, Work and Retirement<br />
· Dealing with the challenges of social isolation during COVID19.</p>
<p>This thought provoking analysis is certain to challenge your audience&#8217;s perceptions on aging, as Professor Lem engages in dialogue with others on the recent research exploring how “stories” illuminate the dynamics of growing old by blending fact with imagination. GRAY MATTERS: Finding Meaning In The Stories of Later Life (Rutgers University Press; Paperback; August 15, 2020; $29.95; 978-1-1978-80631-3) will shine light on the fascinating real life experiences of seniors gathered from over two hundred in-depth surveys with a range of questions on growing old, not often included in other age studies works.</p>
<p>Gray Matters combines cultural texts, gerontology research, and observations from older adults that will give all readers a fuller picture of the struggles and pleasures of aging and avoids over-simplified representations of the process as all negative or positive.</p>
<p>“Creative, wide-ranging and well-written, Gray Matters offers a many-sided, complex understanding of late-life. It demonstrates that this period of our lives interweaves our past and present, takes grit, and offers opportunities for positive experiences. For some, learning becomes more enjoyable, as the phrase ‘senior college’ indicates. Gray Matters also skillfully shows that aging occurs in a social context, a fact often overlooked when the process is understood as solely an individual matter.”<br />
—— <em>Margaret Cruikshank, from the foreword</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Gray Matters invites readers to reexamine what they think they know about growing old. Offering succinct close readings of richly diverse cultural texts, Lem’s book presents literature as a resource for dealing with the practical and existential concerns of aging. With its interdisciplinary grounding in age studies theory and sociological data, Gray Matters is itself a valuable resource for readers ready to reorient their view of later life.&#8221;<br />
—— <em>Erin Lamb, co-editor of Research Methods in Health Humanities</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Lem draws examples from literature, film, television, and a survey of older people to support a wide-ranging and accessible examination of contemporary culture. Especially helpful to those who are new to the field, this book is a welcome addition to age-studies scholarship.&#8221;<br />
—— Valerie Lipscomb, author of Performing Age in Modern Drama &#8211;This text refers to the hardcover edition.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ellyn Lem’s research wasn’t just from gerontology— she surveyed over 200 real people over the ages of 65&#8230;. making the experience of reading this book heartfelt and personal. Census facts were fascinating as well. Added pleasures for book lovers, screen lovers of movies, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Showtime, Amazon Prime, and other network watchers, will be smiling! There are so many fun tidbits and commentaries from literature, film, and television: many favorite authors, books, and screen entertainment is explored and examined throughout!<br />
I found it exciting to read about books &amp; authors I’ve read -and exciting to learn about books, authors, shows, I’ve missed &#8211; but now must add to my desire to read &amp; watch lists.&#8221;<br />
—— <em>Elsye Walters, Advance Reader from Goodreads </em></p>
<p>Ellyn A. Lem is a professor of English and Gender Studies at UW-Milwaukee at Waukesha. She teaches a variety of composition and literature courses, including a course, Women in Popular Culture.
