🎉 Big news from Dr. Croom, Army Vet — I officially joined the Portage Zhang Senior Center! 🪶
So here’s how it happened: I walked in, looked around at this beautiful space full of energy, laughter, and wisdom — and I asked, “How young do you have to be to join?” They said 55, and I thought, okay, got a few years to go. Then they corrected themselves: actually, it’s 50.
Well… I said, “Give me that application right now!” 😂
I’m so grateful to be here, to still be here, and to still have a mission. Reaching 50 isn’t just a milestone — it’s a reminder that I’m alive, thriving, and still serving through my gifts.
I met some incredible people today — folks playing mahjong, carving wood, laughing over coffee, and a few of my fellow veterans proudly wearing their hats (I definitely need to get one too 👏🏽).
I’ll be sharing what I love most with this amazing community — from talks on senior pets and hospice care to at-home chiropractic and end-of-life services for our beloved animals. Because our elders and their pets deserve gentle care and respect in every stage of life. 🐾💛
