Denver woman, 101, visits Sapulpa

This one's a cute little piece on a spry 101 year-old woman who -- you guessed it -- is vegetarian.

She also big on church and the bible, so no doubt her faith and social ties at church, as well as her regular walk for groceries, play a part in her continued vibrant health. These are common threads out there for the learning, but so few actually fall into step. Of course, she only became vegetarian at 39 (which, by the way, is stunning, considering that was back in the 40s, when vegetarians were probably much more strange in this country), but it's never too late.

As for the faith thing... I'm not religious myself, but I do believe strongly in developing a vital connection with one's self, with others and everything around us, which is its own sort of spirituality.
