RE: renewable caring

For those who show up...however they can for love

…caregiving of yourself and your others …and the world

to be better gardeners of our ONE WILD AND PRECIOUS LIFE….

My Father said if I had 1 or 2 authentic friends in my life...I would be rich

I am preparing a collaborative series of presentations around my new book and working with a dear friend to accomplish it.  It is great (chaplain) fun to find common ground between the sacred wisdoms and with the highly actionable nature of neuroscience research. 

Heart and head are powerful partners which change the planet...and certainly our lives.

This day long symposium is on resiliency in nursing.
These beautiful professional caregivers experience much of the same stress symptoms as their unpaid sisters and brothers on the front lines of love.  But the opportunity to work with a true friend when doing this work (that matters...) is an exceptional thing.

My father was a wise man: John W. Hager
He is gone from this earth and has been for decades, but his words are alive in me. His saying about the quantity (of friends) that make one's life rich, flies in the social media's face. As a new author, I am validated by how many people sign up for messages from me (...and by all means, please sign up).  Having said that, however, the magnitude of a nearby friend, one that shows up with treats when they hear a twitch in your best "I'm fine" survival voice, is measured on an earthquake scale.  

The 4.8 earthquake (which woke me up last night) is felt by all. But only one more richter point and it is feared by all.

A true friend is a wonder...they gently turn post-traumatic-stress from disorder to order...and growth. 

(or maybe even some fun.)

The amazing thing about being an author is to see the progress that your book is making. It is making its way into the world.  It offers the notion that we can change how we do caregiving.

It's a big order... to care for yourself while you are caring for a loved one who has fallen ill.  Most of us don't practice resilience but (with luck) restoration and reconstruction at the end of the day...or week or month.

It takes a toll. It's traumatic and it can make you resilient; post traumatic growth is possible. I offer my rules as gifts to you, those fourty-four million Americans who are trying to navigate this tricky shoreline.

Check it out on Amazon.  (Search for EM Hager)

Pretty cool.
