Begin Again.... Life is daily improv...so is caregiving and a good life. Try these first eight ideas. They insure survival.

These eight rules will, when practiced, get you to a more grounded place to access a good life, well lived...no matter what is in front of you today.

Begin Again...with an inner fulcrum. They will give you an inner fulcrum to stand because they are about staying alive. They are also about the possibility of returning to your own center. If you go no further than this, you will benefit from increased vitality, and general health. That’s enough. That’s a blessing.

The first eight ideas will heal you - enough. This is not a guarantee, but a promise to show you how I did it while caregiving a difficult, diva mother. If they work their magic on you, you will become grounded enough to make better, more loving decisions for yourself and your beloved who is infirm. Otherwise, we remain too stressed and not only likely to fall ill, but be ill prepared for future life without them (…or beside them, as fate permits).

Begin Again... with eight bite-sized daily rules. When practiced, this book with its eight rules will keep you centered in the challenges of caregiving. They are my rules to life by.
