Finding a New Way to Celebrate

I just wanted to say that I think Christmas 2008 will be a great one, despite the economic turmoil that we are currently experiencing. Please understand, I am not minimizing the hardships that the slowing economy has created for so many of us. Significantly cutting back on my budget, and including giving to others are definite priorities for me this year. I am also supporting our locally owned businesses, where I have recently found great unique gifts at very reasonable prices.

Let’s not cut back on LOVE, JOY and helping one another through these tough times. After all, I think that is what the Holidays are truly about. So whatever you spend or do not spend, I encourage you to have a Happy Festive Holiday Season, and to celebrate together the season’s true meaning.

 

Love and Peace,

Carol

Hospice Awareness

I want to take a minute to discuss hospice awareness and how important it is to to get the word out so that people are aware of the services that hospice  provides.

When I lost my father, I did not know about hospice care and both my father and our family suffered. He was in great pain in the hospital, and I was frightened and at a loss as to what to do to help him. 

Losing my father was a heart wrenching event - but the fear and lack of loving care was horrifying. Soon after his death, I learned about hospice and became a volunteer. I am so thankful to help provide comfort for people with terminal illness and their families. It is truly all about the quality of our loving and caring connection to eachother that helps during a time of great loss.

Thankyou,

Carol
