My guest today is Lisa Litman. Lisa is a local business owner, music enthusiast, and innovative personal assistant. After the recent death of her husband, and the closing of her 30 year-old shop, Sign of the Times, Lisa has learned how to re-invent herself, creating a new word-of-mouth business that responds to various needs of friends and neighbors. Lisa is grateful that she and her son Harry, were intimately present to the daily care-giving for her husband's dying process, knowing that not everyone can afford such time and flexibility. Her dear friend, who is an end-of-life doula, provided the greatest gift of all, supporting Lisa to advocate and care for her husband in his final days. Music is what held and pulled Lisa through; music is her passion! Just as Lisa's shop brought her Nyack, NY community together, music is now providing a renewed sense of meaningful community for Lisa. Lisa has woken up to the preciousness of life, the rich experiences of music, sacred spaces, new foods, new neighborhoods, travel and freedom. Check out the links below for Lisa's FaceBook contact. She may be the reliable, trustworthy person you are looking for to help you or a family member out. Enjoy the podcast! Links: FB: Lisa Litman www.levonhelm.com
