When someone you love is diagnosed with dementia as a caregiver your own life gets turned inside out as well. In fact probably even more as the caregiver. But really who knows? All of us are having our own experiences through our personal realities. Who are any of us to say what's real or not real in any given moment for anyone else. 

For me poetry and music have been consistent ways to examine emotions and personal growth the experience gifts me. Recently, I have found myself, once again, pulling at the threads my emotions through poetry. Some how by placing one word next to another I am able to find peace with grief. But even more powerful, I have been able to unravel the gift of the journey. 

Here are two of my most recent poems:

a cardinal rests
it’s frozen reflection
~ encapsulated
your colorful life stilled
in a lake of memories

The Unique and Sundry is live on Amazon and ready for eager eyes to devour the words, memories, and stories that unfold with the poems.

The launch party on Facebook was a huge success with virtual food & drinks, the tunes were great, the conversations were fun, great things were said (I still can’t get my ego through a doorway 😉 ) and there were lots of videos to watch.

The best part is, even if you missed the virtual book launch there you can still see a lot of it here when I share the highlights. 😉

See what all the hype is about for yourself and pick up your copy at Amazon today.
