-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
IT SEEMS THAT--EVERY TIME YOU TURN ON THE TELEVISION, OR READ A
NEWSPAPER, THESE DAYS--THERE'S NEWS OF THE WEAKENING ECONOMY.
UNFORTUNATELY, TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES CAN ENTICE PEOPLE TO CUT BACK, IN
ALL THE WRONG PLACES. DOCTOR JOY BROWNE--PSYCHOLOGIST AND
NATIONALLY SYNDICATED TALK-SHOW HOST--TELLS HER LISTENERS TO PLAN FOR
THE FUTURE DURING THESE TIMES, AND TO CONSIDER THEIR LONG-TERM GOALS AND
PERSONAL FINANCES...
(BROWNE):
"THE EMOTIONAL STRESS OF ECONOMIC HARDSHIP CAN MAKE PEOPLE FOCUS
ON SHORT-TERM EXPENSES--RATHER THAN LONG-TERM PLANNING. WHAT
PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IS THAT FINANCIALLY PLANNING TODAY, FOR THE FUTURE,
CAN HELP THEM EMBRACE LIFE--KNOWING THAT THEY'RE COVERED, IN THE EVENT
OF THE UNTHINKABLE, SUCH AS THE DEATH OF A SPOUSE. I KNOW IT'S
UNCOMFORTABLE TO DISCUSS--BUT YOU'LL FIND PEACE OF MIND IN KNOWING YOUR
HOME AND YOUR FAMILY ARE PROTECTED FROM LIFE'S 'WHAT-IF'S'."
(CLOSE):
DOCTOR JOY HAS TEAMED UP WITH STATE FARM LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
TO HOST THE FIFTH-ANNUAL "EMBRACE LIFE AWARDS"--A PROGRAM THAT
HONORS MEN AND WOMEN WHO, AFTER THE LOSS OF A SPOUSE OR PARENT, MOVED
BEYOND THEIR GRIEF, TO EMPOWER THEMSELVES AND INSPIRE OTHERS. THIS
YEAR'S 13 HONOREES WILL EACH BE AWARDED 10-THOUSAND DOLLARS--AND BE
RECOGNIZED DURING A CELEBRATORY EVENT. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT
