Let’s see how many you get right! 🏡 I help someone stay safely in their own home. 🏢 I provide around-the-clock support when more care is needed. 🕊️ I focus on comfort, dignity, and quality of life during a serious illness. Can you match them? A. Home Care B. Long-Term Care C. Hospice Care ⬇️ Answers ⬇️ 🏡 Home Care = Helping people remain independent at home with support for daily activities. 🏢 Long-Term Care = Ongoing care and supervision when living at home is no longer the safest option. 🕊️ Hospice Care = Comfort-focused care that supports both the individual and their family. ❤️ Bonus Question: Before joining Still Rising, did you know the difference between these three types of care? 👍 Yes, I did. 🤔 Kind of. 🙋 Not really. No judgment here! Many families don’t learn the differences until they’re facing a crisis. Our goal is to help you learn before you need it. Because knowledge reduces fear. And no one should have to walk these journeys alone.

In a couple of hours I’ll be boarding the 1.15am bus for a 2 1/2 hour trip to Dublin Airport. By 4am I will have found my 3 friends and we’ll be in the check in line for our flight to Madrid 😊 I’ve known these women since we were teenagers. We’ve navigated life together and once our children were looking after themselves we started these little getaways. Up until last year, we stayed in Ireland but we’ve since spread our wings. As we each turn 70, the birthday person is given a date and time to be at the airport - but doesn’t know the destination until we get to the gate. The birthday girl doesn’t pay for anything and we laugh ourselves silly for a few days. So I won’t be on Skool as much as usual until next week. Old friends are precious 😍 What’s your longest friendship?

If you or someone you love is managing type 2 diabetes, this breaks down exactly what to put on your plate and why. The plate breakdown: 🥦 Half your plate — non-starchy vegetables 🍗 Quarter — lean protein 🍠 Quarter — whole grains 🥑 Small amounts of healthy fat 🍓 Low-glycemic fruit — 1-2 servings daily The four daily habits that make it all work: ✅ Eat regular meals — skipping backfires every time ✅ Drink more water than you think you need ✅ Use smaller plates for effortless portion control ✅ 30+ minutes of movement daily The biggest mistakes I see women make: ❌ Skipping meals to lower blood sugar — it actually raises it ❌ Drinking fruit juice instead of eating whole fruit — juice strips the fiber ❌ Going low-fat instead of right-fat — healthy fat stabilizes blood sugar I'm Becky — founder of The Aligned Diabetes Collective, a midlife woman living with diabetes, and a nurse. I created this free community specifically for women like me who are managing type 2 diabetes in midlife and tired of figuring it out alone. We cover meal planning, blood sugar education, and the hormonal side of diabetes that nobody talks about — because managing diabetes in midlife is a completely different experience than managing it at 30. If this resonates with you or someone you know — come find us. 💚

What dream did you delay while raising kids or building your career?

So, I made it to SC by 00:15. With a volunteered bag checked that is in Baltimore and will arrive at noon. Tooth Brush and toothpaste complimentary (cannot have dragon breath, just sayin’). Gift shop/Coffee and just had to get a t-shirt that promotes the restaurant at the hotel, I know heartbreaking. 💔. Hee Hee. 😛
