Let's Talk Dementia

The way you think about things has a direct effect on the health of your body.  Your perceptions of life, both good and bad, literally change the cellular structure of your body.  AND, how you feel effects your loved one with dementia.

I was honored to bring the sermon at First Church of Cramerton, North Carolina, and this is the virtual version of that sermon.  I hope you enjoy it and spend time thinking about your "second chances."

Merry Christmas!

Bruce Williams has the beautiful pleasure of caring for his wife, Ann, through her dementia journey.  What an amazing caregiver he is.  I hope you enjoy this short little story he wrote about watching Ann sleep.  Grab your tissue.  It's a tear jerker!

Elizabeth Marcus is a listener of "Let's Talk Dementia," and she honored me by sharing her story through an email.  I am so excited to interview her on today's episode, and she will share her story about inappropriate and unusual behavior from her Dad.

How you decorate your home, or your loved one's home, can have an impact on the success of your Christmas holiday.  That's the topic of today's episode.

Giving thoughtful gifts at Christmas is really the meaning of gift giving.  Don't give gifts just to "get the job done."  Put thought into those gifts.  This is especially important for our wonderful folks with dementia.

Involving your loved one in conversations, decisions, or just life in general, is a very good thing.  Let's talk about that on today's episode.

If you grew up hearing the poem "Ring Around The Rosie," you might have wondered what it meant?  Well, let me tell you, it is NOT a happy poem.  Check out today's episode to learn what it meant and learn about the effect what we say might have on other people. 

On today's episode, I share with you a beautiful poem by Sharlene MacLaren titled "When God Says."  I hope it is meaningful for you.  Please check out Sharelene's books and wonderful offerings at https://www.sharlenemaclaren.com.  You will be glad you did!
