Caregiver Warrior

10/10/2025

I spend way too much time in the past. Even though I’m aware that I do it, I still find myself hanging out there.

I don’t want to discredit the value my past holds. After all, I have learned so much in my big, rich hard lived life but loitering in my memories often distracts me from my present.

I can take the lessons learned and the wisdom I’ve been granted and pull that knowledge into my now.

The present is a much better place for that experience.

It’s more useful here.

I can look back without staring.

This allows me to appreciate where I’ve been but look forward to where I’m going.

Somedays just feel like it’s impossible…

Give it a try anyway…you might pull it off…

There are times when it just doesn’t feel doable. It feels impossible.

It takes everything we have just to show up for it.

It’s those days that test us and tell us we can’t go on.

But we can and we do.

As my Dad used to say, keep movin! And move we do.

And we move through not by trying to be perfect but by just trying and seeing where we are.

By acknowledging it’s hard, and being so kind and generous to ourselves while we figure it all out.

It may feel impossible, but we never really know unless we give it a go.

And man, does it feel good whether we pull it off or not.

If we pull it off it’s amazing, and if we don’t, trying feels fulfilling on its own.

Pretend it’s not inpossible and see what happens.

I can’t worry about what other people think of my decisions.

If my heart tells me my decisions are aligned with who I am and what I believe in, then I’m in. That’s the path I follow.

Make decisions based on your values, not what they look like to other people.

There is so much noise out there and so much challenge in caregiving.

It can quickly become overwhelming and take our breath away.

We need a village of people that we can lean on.

People who see us, love us no matter what, tells us the truth, are there when we need them, know when to just listen and have a cache of hugs available.

We find them by being those people to others, and by being brave enough to turn away from people who can’t be there for us.

Creating this bubble may not be easy but it is critical for survival and balance and we deserve it.

It’s sacred and ours to claim as our own.

I can tell I’m not going to win any awards today. It’s going to be a day I plough through with cement feet.

Caregivers know these days.

We can feel a day like today almost upon waking up.

It’s not that we can’t change it, because we can and will, but it’s going to be more challenging than usual and showing up is key.

It’s a getting through it day without fanfare or major accomplishments.

It’s doing the normal, mundane, hard, unpleasant things without much ceremony kind of day that has its own merit and meaning.

It can be just another day to get through but with a little costly grace we can pat ourselves on the back for getting through it and knowing it matters.

Just by showing up we make a difference, sometimes without ever knowing how or why, yet the impact is important and powerful.

So without bells and whistles, I moving forward today, ready to feel like a winner when it’s done.

We’ve been here before. Maybe not in the exact same place but close to it. There are things about each challenge we face that mirror all the others. Caregiving is a bracelet of beads strung together with the thick thread of experience.

When we can lean into trusting ourselves to get through just about anything, we are free to call on all the experience we have with all the previous challenge and crisis.

It doesn’t really matter about the how, what matters is that we’ve done it before and can do it again.

Just like in the past, we will navigate, push, pull, organize, strategize and give it all we’ve got.

This is not our first rodeo and we will survive, dust ourselves off, and get back on the horse for another ride.

Just dropped 🎙️
I had the honor of joining the incredible hosts Nikki + Tara of Care-isma, a podcast redefining what it means to care for others and ourselves. We talked about Self Judgement, honoring loved ones wishes, healing relationships, what it meant to be a Caregiver Warrior!

If you’re a caregiver, supporter, or just curious about the real behind-the-scenes of showing up for yourself, this one’s for you. 💜
