Someone asked me what I like about working with dementia friendly programs like memory cafe, support groups and reminiscence groups. What I told them was…

“I am amazed, humbled, honored, privileged and encouraged when I see a caregiver’s fear be displaced by education,
when education empowers them with confidence,
Pwhen hopelessness turns into perseverance,
and then the bonus, joy found in friendships only made because of a common burden shared. “

Come get educated for yourself or a friend someone you know that has cognitive changes happening…. We all need each other.

Here’s a hug for the new year.
Not the loud kind.
Not the rushed kind.
Just a quiet, gentle hug for everything you carried through this year.
For the days you were tired but kept going.
For the nights you held on longer than you thought you could.
For the moments you survived in silence.
As 2025 fades and 2026 begins, may you move forward softly.
May life meet you with kindness.
May your heart feel a little lighter than before.
You don’t need big resolutions.
Just peace.
Just warmth.
Just the reminder that you made it.
May the new year be gentle and kind to you. 🤍
