If you’ve ever said, “Hand me your phone, I’ll fix it,” you might be a caregiver. 📱If you’re the one who keeps the family calendar, remembers the birthdays, and knows everybody’s appointment times… you might be a caregiver. 🥪If you’ve ever talked someone off the ledge with a five-minute phone call, made a meal “real quick,” or showed up with coffee and a listening ear… you might be a caregiver. 🔑If you’ve helped someone fill out a form, find their keys (that were in their hand), or figure out the TV remote for the hundredth time… you might be a caregiver. 👩‍⚕️Caregiving isn’t only medical. A lot of it is simply showing up. 🌻So let me ask you: What do you give a CARE about? 💜And who are you showing up for right now? 🙏 Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you.

I want to give huge shoutout to @Linda Burhans she hosts Connecting with Caregivers Radio program every week for the last 10 year. I was on her show yesterday discussing Aromatherapy and The Cherished Caregiver Circle. It was not my first time, one week in December 2019, I was on the show as a caregiver that won her quarterly award. https://www.youtube.com/live/2sZtL2o5-3Y?si=N2yN7yXtzMh0IDSW Listen to Jacob too, he has some really good information about a medicare respite benefit. Let us know if you listen and what you learned.

Hello Cherished Caregivers! I hope you enjoy the message today.

I’ve been reflecting on something powerful lately—how caregiving for our loved ones and leading our communities often feel so similar. Both require patience, compassion, and a whole lot of heart. 💛 I created this little infographic to capture those parallels, and I’d love to hear your thoughts! Does this resonate with you? What would you add or change? Your feedback will help me refine it before sharing it with other communities. 👇 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗠 𝗺𝗲—𝗜’𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂! (P.S. If you’ve ever felt guilty for taking time for yourself as a caregiver or leader, this one’s for you. You’re not alone!) Blessings 💜
