I follow all of your writings....you are a big help to me as a caregiver. Thank you so much for another great find...this book...I loved the following message..."Live your dreams, no matter how many detours you encounter"...and part of that dream is to be a good caregiver...but it shouldn't be your whole focus.

 

You save me (and many others I'm sure) a lot of time....I can review your site and you have already found the good stuff, ..an "uplift fix" for the day if you will.

 

Thank You Carol!
