Hi Bev, it was a pleasure to meet you last week! How is the prep for your event going?

So Bev, let me get this clear re the website requirements. You need domain name registration and hosting for 2 years running Wordpress. Will you administer website after it is set up & running or would you want that done as well.

Hi Bev, I really love your plan - the internet is an amazing medium to tell our stories and keep them for future generations to enjoy and learn from. I noticed that you're now working with students at Griffith University and senior groups. I thought you might be interested in this site - Dear Photograph (http://dearphotograph.com/). People from all over the world submit their images and a brief tagline that tells an incredibly powerful story - it's a really interesting example of a community sharing their stories and personal history through media. It's also got a great website design using the Tumblr platform that you may find helpful.

Noticed your looking for a website ... why not check out fellow planner Rose's plan for just that thing: http://www.planbig.com.au/websites-for-charities

I'm thinking of turning Golden Days Images into a not-for-profit as now I am working with students at Griffith University and senior groups. My idea has become much bigger than just one person! Does anyone have any advice on how I can make this switch?

Another way your videos can be used is diversional therapy which is particularly good for carers who rarely get 'time out' when caring for someone with dementia at home. I'm happy to chat to you more about this if its something your interested in knowing more about. Selling your videos would be a great way of funding your plan, you could absolutely make a great business out of what you are doing.

Hi Bev, what a great plan and I hope you have great success with it. Have you thought about funding what you are doing with what you are doing? What you are doing with the seniors is 'reminiscence therapy' (RT) and is great for people with dementia. Dementia takes the short term memories and the long term memories are the memories left in tact the longest. Seniors with dementia often become socially isolated because they find it difficult to join in conversations about todays events, so reminiscence therapy is a way of promoting social interaction by getting them to talk and reminisce about things they can relate to, its amazing how they will open up and their eyes light up talking about things from their past. Your videos could easily be used by nursing homes for group RT !

Bev, how do I watch the videos?

Hey Bev, I've introduced your plan to another planner http://www.planbig.com.au/-collect-moments-not-things- you never know, you might be able to help each other out :-)

Hey Bev, I really like this project! I'm reading a book at the moment called "Counterclockwise" by Ellen Langer about how mindfulness can reduce negative effects of aging. Allowing people to retain their independence and giving them the respect of any adult is a big part of that. I think your project is helping that cause, I've pledged $25 and look forward to receiving those postcards.

Howdy Folks, I am asking for nominations to enter the Older People Speak Out awards as I think Celebrate Living History does promote positive aging. Even though i'm not a proper "journalist" in a media organisation, I think what i'm doing shows initiative and the yarns that I have captured should be in the spotlight. I have put so much effort into sourcing interviews and have placed a lot of passion into editing videos and photographs. If you like my idea can you please head to http://www.opso.com.au/media-awards/submit-now/ and vote for Celebrate Living History in the Online Media Coverage of Seniors - Best Submission (incl. social involving over 50's) Maybe i'm not in a media organisation but you know what there should be a category for those that want to cherish yarns for the next generation!
