FIRE After 50 Live Activation — July 21

**Ready for More?** FIRE After 50™ is an exclusive live activation for accomplished women over 50 who know there is more life waiting to be lived. This experience is delivered live online via Zoom. Registration details and Zoom access are available at FIREafter50.com **What is FIRE After 50?** FIRE After 50 is not a webinar, seminar, coaching session, or motivational talk. It is a focused two-hour live activation designed for accomplished women who have built meaningful lives, achieved success, and now feel the unmistakable pull toward something more. Not because they need another reinvention. Not because they want to abandon everything they have built. But because what brought them here is no longer enough to express everything they have become. Per Dr. Diva, the desire for More is not about replacing the woman you have become. It is the natural expression of purpose pressing outward for greater expansion. **During this live activation, Dr. Diva Verdun will introduce three powerful ideas:** • How to Command More Without Sacrificing Your Authority • How to Live, Lead, and Expand Without Settling or Starting Over • How to Create Fierce Impact Without Reinventing Who You Are This experience is exclusive to women who are ready for More. **Date:** Tuesday, July 21, 2026 **Time:** 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM Pacific Time **Location:** Live via Zoom **Investment:** $97 **Replay:** None Reserve your seat at FIREafter50.com.

Seniors - Interactive & Therapeutic Music Session - Playing, Jamming, Dancing!

This meetup group is all about appreciating the wonderful music (pop, soul, rock, jazz) of decades past, roughly encompassing the 50's to the 80's. We use music to facilitate interaction and for the therapeutic benefits, especially for seniors, of rhythm-based music therapy. As a professional drummer and songwriter, I have found that listening to and enjoying music from a rhythmic standpoint has great benefits for people of any musical background. The only requirement is that you enjoy music too! This particular group is open to all individuals in the area who are at least 55 years in age. I have carried out many sessions like this with great results, as I especially love bringing joy to seniors, who too often don't have viable social opportunities and don't have any way of revisiting good memories from their youth via music. The primary reason to join this group is to HAVE FUN! To expand on that, the fun you have during these sessions is based on simultaneous appreciation of music and positive social interaction with an individual who is not necessarily in your age group (ME!). If you would like to enjoy not just listening to music, but interactively getting INSIDE the music by rhythmically playing along or clapping, then join! If you are looking to meet other like-minded, music-loving seniors, then join! If you want to have a unique experience enjoying music you love while creating lasting friendship, then join! While I certainly offer musical knowledge with each session and information regarding the instruments and the music that I bring, my priority is for you to have a great time while also possibly learning something about music! In a typical session, we begin by chatting for a few minutes about music (or any other topic!). Oftentimes, I will then do a quick performance to demonstrate the rhythmic approach to listening to music. Then, I pass out small instruments to whoever may be interested while we play, sing, clap, and dance! If you have limited mobility, you can still join in with small percussion instruments that I bring, or you can simply watch and listen. You will forget your aches and pains for an hour as we jam together within the context of music you love, like Stevie Wonder, the Beatles, Benny Goodman, the Grateful Dead, Michael Jackson, and a whole lot more. I often dance with and interact with everyone in the room while we play our instruments and forget our worries inside the music. If you're a senior who loves music, join our group today! I'm very much looking forward to meeting you! No musical experience necessary.

Walk along Millionaire's Row & Back to the Future House in Pasadena

Walk along Millionaire's Row in Pasadena, Wrigley Mansion, Suicide Bridge, Worldwide Church of God, Back to the Future House, etc. Walk is under 6 miles RT. Bring water and sneakers. During the first two decades of the 20th Century Pasadena became the home of millionaires (who probably would be billionaires in today’s dollars). Chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr., David B. Gamble, son of James Gamble, founder of Proctor and Gamble, and Adolphus Busch of Budweiser fame, were some of the wealthiest families in the country. Many of these upper-class residents lived on Orange Grove Blvd. which, due to this extreme affluence, was nicknamed ‘Millionaire’s Row’. As ‘Millionaire’s Row’ grew, with dozens of opulent mansions of eight or ten bedrooms lining the street, the need for hired help increased dramatically. Mary Gamble and Ada Wrigley were not going to wash dishes and clothes, nor prepare meals for their families. Those laborious tasks were given to domestic workers who lived in the residences of the rich in modest servants’ quarters. And they were paid low wages for the difficult and arduous work required to maintain these enormous estates. Wrigley House (Tournament of Rose Parade House) [https://tournamentofroses.com/house-tours/](https://tournamentofroses.com/house-tours/) Suicide Bridge 87 have committed suicide from this bridge: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Street_Bridge_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Street_Bridge_)(Pasadena,_California) Back to the Future House (Gamble House) [https://movie-locations.com/movies/b/Back-To-The-Future.php](https://movie-locations.com/movies/b/Back-To-The-Future.php) Worldwide Church of God We will walk to see the scenic grounds of the church and the mansions there. Parking: Street parking After walk, people can go to Old Town Pasadena to get something to eat.
