Episode description

 – Oh, the lagging path between words and actions!

For me, the motion of the bike was just the right pace.

Emily Rosen, 97, lives in Boca Raton, Florida, where for over 20 years and until her 95th birthday, she instructed classes in memoir writing, publishing two anthologies of stories from her classes, and the book, Who Am I? For two decades until the local weekly newspaper folded in 2021, she wrote her column, “Everything's Coming Up Rosen.” Her travel and feature articles have appeared nationwide. She has worked as a copy writer, travel writer, columnist, elementary and community college teacher, mental health counselor, and owner of the now defunct “singing telegram” company, Witty Ditty. Until January 2024, her poetry languished in the pages of a fat notebook. But some of it was recently released in Lingering Over a Long Life: Selected Poems from My Journey (available on Amazon.com.)
