Cultivate That Which Is Dormant: A Call for Older Adults to Thrive.
Everyone has dreams and passions that have been "deferred" as the poet writes. What happens to your passions that are deferred or dormant? How do you take steps to cultivate your dormant dreams and allow yourself to thrive and flourish? Dr. Hilda R. Davis in this talk encourages you to "cultivate that which is dormant." This talk is focused on older adults; though everyone can benefit from searching their hearts for the passions that have been set aside--that are dormant. Dr. Davis invites older adults to cultivate those dreams, passions, and desires that have been set aside for whatever reason and to now take time to cultivate them and thrive.
