DUNWOODY and SANDY SPRINGS, GA (January 5, 2018) – Their stories reveal tales of love lost and rediscovered, finding strength through adversity, wartime memories, humorous triumphs, and much, much more. They are the stories from our greatest generations – America’s seniors – and they are being told, saved and treasured in “living history” in the form of a social media initiative called These Eyes Have Seen®, www.theseeyeshaveseen.com. Now, seniors in and around Atlanta are invited to audition their own special stories for permanent placement on These Eyes Have Seen when auditions are held on Wednesday, January 24, at Dunwoody Pines Retirement Community in Dunwoody, and on Wednesday, February 7, at Hammond Glen Retirement Community in Sandy Springs.
Launched in 2015, These Eyes Have Seen celebrates seniors by documenting their stories to provide joy, inspiration and guidance to people everywhere. The stories are accompanied by visually stunning photographs that capture not only the essence of the story but of the storytellers themselves. A passion project of Sunshine Retirement Living, which manages 21 retirement communities in nine states, These Eyes Have Seen now includes stories from nearly 100 seniors, and will continue to grow to showcase hundreds more seniors across the country in coming years. The seniors profiled to date offer insights into the experiences that impacted them most in their long lives, how they reflect upon with their greatest happiness or regret, and various words of wisdom on what it means to lead a life well-lived.
Seniors from the Atlanta area, who want to be included in the project, can audition their stories at one of the two events, which will both feature complementary food and beverages, live entertainment and presentations by local historical experts:
Other innovative programs at Windsor Heights include:
“These Eyes Have Seen has become a passion project for us, allowing us to create a living history channel that celebrates seniors everywhere,” said Luis Serrano, CEO, Sunshine Retirement Living. “Filled with joy, courage, inner strength and optimism, we hope these diverse and fascinating histories inspire everyone, young and old. While we work every day to enrich the lives of our residents at each of our communities, the reality is that we have found our lives deeply enriched by our residents. We wanted to share that inspiration and guidance with a broader audience, so we created this storytelling project.”

We all want to start our days on the right foot, and prioritizing a well-balanced breakfast is a great way to make sure you have energy all day! Our residents have access to healthy breakfasts every day of the week, but for our friends at home, one easy way to add a nutritious punch to your morning meal is by adding spinach to a simple scramble.
It is extremely easy to make for yourself or a loved one if you’re short on time in the morning. Simply heat up a nonstick pan, add your eggs, some spinach, and a little of your favorite seasoning (we love everything bagel seasoning)! Turn the eggs occasionally to cook them through, and you're ready to eat.
If you have more time, you can add cheese or avocados too!
