Legally Separated and Unemployed with a Year to Kill – What Will Jeanne Do? A unique and timely set of circumstances create the perfect storm for a woman on the cusp of multiple changes. Her somewhat flippant decision to volunteer sets the stage for profound relationships you won’t soon forget. When the housing bubble burst in 2008, Jeanne Corvese Hussin found herself at a fork in the road. She could either continue her job as a senior vice president for a mortgage banker at a significant pay cut or take the year-long severance and travel with her son, Jason. She chose the latter. Now what? After Jason would go to bed, the nights stretched out before Jeanne like a long black highway cutting through the desert. She spent the hours flirting with men online but was often disappointed by the real person behind the dating profile. Suddenly, she had an epiphany. Or maybe it was a message from God. She should find a way to give back. Drawn to senior citizens, Jeanne found herself at a local assisted living facility volunteering her time to memory care residents in a ward ironically named Recollections. From her inspired impulse to serve emerge the colorful characters who comprise I See Old People© . You will never be the same. In these pages, Jeanne tells the story of her family, her interactions with the seniors at Recollections, and finally, her storybook “never too late” romance in this extraordinary memoir. I See Old People is much more than a book; it’s an experience. In I See Old People , Jeanne Hussin has captured the power of kind conversations and the impact they have on the world. Jeanne's stories come from the heart of who she is as a person and her love for connection shines through every chapter. The values her family instilled in her, the power of little interactions to make big change and finally the reminder that we are all deserving of love is the perfect blueprint of how we all can move forward from difficult times in our lives. If you need a reminder that we're all connected in so many ways big and small, then this is the book for you! -- Chris Guizlo, Vice President, Fearey Agency There is a secret to successful, meaningful volunteering and Jeanne has shared it with her readers in her new book, I See Old People . She found through heartbreak and trial that in order to live your best self, you must find a way to give of yourself in the most genuine way possible, and as a result, you will have true impact on yourself and others. Jeanne's relationship with her mother, her own professed need to be the center of attention and a declared "talker" found her the perfect audience with seniors craving their own attention. Our senior adults, especially those with special needs, are so often left behind. They are really young at heart and like us all, crave love, companionship, memories, spark and significance. Bravo to Jeanne for showing up, being with them at the right place, with the right heart and mindset, and the right time. By sharing so much of her with them and giving back, she was rewarded generously in her own life's path and found her own love and spark along the way - like a favorite memory, it was there the whole time. -- Marchelle Sellers, Co-Founder, Charity On Top Foundation and Powered By Charity, Inc.
