At Make One Change, we welcome ideas and perspectives on how to make those small differences that yield big results-maybe it is taking up walking instead of taking the elevator, or sharing your life with a pet, or volunteering. There are so many things that contribute to wellness. To that end, Make One Change features people in the community who are dedicated to wellness each and every day. Please welcome our newest Make One Change community bloggers: Fran Larkin and Michele DeMarco Wilkie.
After retiring from a 35-year career at IBM, Fran and his wife Kathy, moved to Newburyport two years ago. Since his retirement, he has joined many local organizations and published 5 Words and Then Some, a self-help, motivational book for young adults, became a board member of Pennies for Poverty: 2 Cents 4 Change, and is a Retirement coach, Alzheimer’s champion and advocate, and inspirational speaker on Visioning.
Michele DeMarco Wilkie is the creator of Spiritful Living®, and the founder of the Center for Spirit Wellness and Build Pathways for Peace. She is also the author ofSpirit Wellness, Stirred Not Shaken, and A Little Dose of Spirit. Her most recent book is Living Proof, a memoir that chronicles both her near-death experience from two very rare and freak heart attacks within the space of a single week, and her powerful experience of healing and flourishing in their aftermath.
