Blog on the caregiver journey featuring my own story and tips for thriving during challenging times

We Are Interconnected, Never Alone

I received two messages. One was a video by Lisa Miller about how #WeAreNeverAlone. That we are all interconnected. Fascinating both scientifically and spiritually. I found this uplifting and encouraging and wanted to share it because so many of us who are finished caregiving and have their kids out of the house and have no spouse or significant others can feel alone. The second message to me came via a posting by my friend Robert Pardi. Robert posted a challenge for us to say to the universe, every day for a week, “Today is going to bring me everything I need.” I incorporated that into my morning meditation today and will continue to include it for the next 7 days. I include personal affirmations, “I am Enough!” and “I am Worthy” in my meditations as well. My sincere hope is that when you read this, you will find these messages helpful to you as well.

When someone dies while you’re there…

Being present in the moments after death is an incredible gift to yourself, it’s a gift to the people you’re with, and it’s a gift to the person who’s just died. They’re just a hair’s breath away. They’re just starting their new journey in the world without a body. If you keep a calm space around their body, and in the room, they’re launched in a more beautiful way. It’s a service to both sides of the veil.

Breadmaking Failure? Or is it?

Breadmaking Failure? Or is it?

What did I learn from baking this week? Patience. Ask for help. Don’t cook when you’re hungry because you can get hangry if things don’t work out. Follow the instructions. So there… my Gap Year lessons for this week. I guess not everything in my attempt to be bold and different going forward in my life is going to succeed right away. When I get finished eating the Dutch Apple Bread, I’m going to try the French Bread again and will hopefully have better luck.
