This is my KYPU Life, sharing the challenges of getting older, what we are not prepared for, taking the bull by the horns to defy the norms, hopefully with grace and humour, as we rise to it, while not letting it define us. KYPU means “Keep Your Pecker Up”, (an old 1850's British term eluding to the nose) meaning "Remain cheerful - keep your head held high". My Aunt would say this to my Mom when she was quite sick In her 80’s, and was continued by my sister when I too was quite ill, sending cards and notes with KYPU in her signature. Thus, KYPU Life was hatched and podcasts were born
