Posted 4/12/24 Hi all! I am busy catching up after an extremely busy and productive week at the DC Forum put on by the beloved Alzheimer’s Association. I don’t have time today for a long-form piece, but I owe you one for next week. I want to get back in the swing of at least…
Work-Live Balance is (not) for Suckas
Posted 4/4/24 “Find a time and place to pray. Read your Bible every day”- Found inside the cover of my Great Grandpa’s Bible I am not a 24/7 caregiver although I certainly have activities at many hours of the day, but I am overloaded. I can’t imagine in 2024 being a sandwich generation member and…
Dementia Friends
Posted 3/22/24 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. Heb 13:16 Sadly I don’t have time for a full article today 🙁 Mom is actually more aware this week. Maybe it is the fresh air and longer days? Here is another passion of…
A Time Capsule That is Hopefully Never Needed
Posted 3/13/24 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecc. 3:11 Although I will never need access to a dating app as I am uber-happily married and have been, as of earlier…
Familiar Family
Posted 3/5/24 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has a quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies…

No, Friends, Alzheimer’s is Most Certainly NOT CONTAGIOUS. Please share this widely to save me phone calls. :) …
Posted 1/31/24 A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. -Prov 17:22 This is another short piece that I copy from a series I am doing for my co-workers on our Intranet at work. If you work at SeniorAge, this is sort of a rerun. 😉 OK. (Exhaling) Sometimes…
Making Some Sense of Senses
Posted 1/30/24 The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both. – Prov. 20:12 I shared this on our work intranet today, but thought it may deserve more time. 🙂 It is so interesting to me how we are seemingly pre-wired with things that fit like a Lego piece in our minds. Our…
FOG
Posted 1/25/24 We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! -1 Cor….
