No doubt that that is a loaded question, but also an important one. Sometimes it seems that peace is at a premium, particularly in the times we're living in at the moment. Whether it's inner peace or external peace, I think it's a pretty safe bet, that most people crave more of it. Do you have a desire to experience more peace within you, around you, or both??? As devoted daughters and sons, we ma...

B-R-E-A-T-H-E. Breathe again. And yet again. Conscious breaths. A deep, slow inhale. Hold it for just a moment. A slow exhale through the mouth, and sigh it out. Do this 3x.

Just as my subject line clearly states, I've been experiencing a lot of overwhelm and my "to-do" list is on overload. When my youngest brother and I began the clearing out process in Febru...

I zipped onto the highway and picked up a yummy BBQ style lunch for us instead. Family members in the area, including yours truly, will be celebrating with my Dad this weekend in the private dining room at AL. As I honor my Dad and his mile...

I'm so glad you found your way here! There's so much I have to share with you! As a devoted daughter myself, I've been dealing with a wide variety of aging related issues with my parents since 2014 and simply put, it's been a wild ride much of the time. Let's face it, supporting an aging parent is definitely not for wimps, lol. Wouldn't you agree? To me, a caregiver is anyone who plays a role in c...
