About Elizabeth Gorcey
Elizabeth Gorcey has devoted her life to the pursuit of art that intrigues her, stories that compel her, and the elevation of authentic voices that must be heard. In her personal and professional lives she has pursued a number of outlets for her boundless creative energy, focusing on those passions which best allow her to entertain, support, explore, and nourish. Acting, directing, producing, painting, working in documentary, narrative and multi-media…Gorcey has followed her instincts to become a true creative force to be reckoned with. As she simply states, “Creating is nourishment for my soul.” This genuine, creative imperative has led to Gorcey’s newest adventure—the children’s book series LIV ON LIFE told from the perspective of her own daughter, Olivia!

I am to old to learn everything techs of nowadays. I could not figure out how to use a cell phone or new tv’s
shut it all down and read
I can do better on controlling technology. We make sure to get at least an hour a day of exercise a day. (swimming,hiking,bike riding).
we read, go for walks, go to the park and enjoy games.
Since I am the only one with thumbs in my house, I don’t have to worry about the dogs getting out of control with the tech. LOL
I limit the amount of time I spend staring at TV and computer screens, and always make time to read books!
it is limited time
We Limit electronic use to 30 minutes a day
We always make time for quality family time
It”s is also limited time….
I am afraid we are much more into technology than I would like.
Now that my children are all grown now and have their own families I just have me and my youngest daughter home. Simply no phones at the table or when there is family or company over. Thanks for the gret giveaway.

It is very hard when the schools have eliminated textbooks and handwritten homework. At my daughter’s HS, everything is read, written and submitted online
We do things other than watch TV and computers. Exercise and going for walks at the Nature Center keep the focus on the natural world and stimulate conversation and contemplation.
My husband and I try to do things together(nature walks/hikes) with our teenage daughter about once a week without the use of our technology, so that we can focus on making fun memories as a family.
We limit screen time and have passwords on all the devices.
We set weekly limits on the time they can spend playing games or online.
I make sure technology does not take over my home by limiting TV time and Ipad time to 2 hours. I do a lot of activities outside with my children.
