    The new year has started and yesterday I was in full advocacy mode. Working through the “system” is not for the faint of the heart and quite tiring!

    The cost of my healthcare plan doubled and the benefits are not as good. 😌

    The holidays were nice with family and friends, but I’m soooo glad to be getting back to my meditation practice. It’s incredible how helpful it is to me and I know other caregivers feel the same way. If you’re a caregiver and want to get started (and need some guidance), please don’t hesitate to DM me.

    Wow, I’ve learned a lot over the past two weeks. My aunt was in the hospital because she had no energy and was having a difficult time breathing. Turns out her pulmonary arterial pressure was at 81 — extremely high. Scary! We’ll learn this week what’s next in her care plan. 🙏

    I’m trying to remain positive amidst the drastic changes in cost and coverage — for both me and my mom. Sigh!

    Starting the new year with a renewed self-care commitment! Although things are generally difficult most of the time considering my mom’s health issues and mine, I know being more diligent with exercise, breaks, etc. is critical to my long-term outlook. Thanks to everyone who encouraged me!
