"Appreciate the moment, appreciate nature, don't sweat the small stuff, and keep friends and family near" are just some of the suggestions from retired social worker Mary Beth Reese. Reese tells us about her late-teenage years as a nun, which changed her life and viewpoint when she left the Sisters of Loretta many years ago. Reese also discusses her many years working with teens as a substance abuse prevention counsellor and her personal journey as a long-time caregiver for her husband with frontotemporal lobe dementia.
