But just hours after their final rejection came their first sign of hope – a clinical trial opportunity that could offer Cheryl a fighting chance.On May 4, 2022, the papers were signed for Cheryl to participate in the TB006 Phase II clinical trial, beginning the infusions within a week’s time. By the time of her next cognitive assessment on August 5th, Cheryl and Ron would learn that her previously consistent decline had stopped dead in its tracks. By February 2, 2023, just 9 months after beginning infusions, her cognitive assessment score has begun to show signs of increasing. While it’s a clinical trial with long-term outcomes to yet be determined, it’s bringing much hope to Cheryl and Ron.

Elizabeth Pizzarello was born a sighted child in the Bronx, New York. She grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Cedar Crest College, in Pennsylvania. Just weeks before graduating, she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic disorder that contributed to her eventual blindness. After ten years of living blind, in 2012 Elizabeth was the beneficiary of a newly developed lens implant procedure with miraculous results. The surgery took her from a state of complete blindness to the limited use of one eye. The inspiration for writing this memoir came from that moment of profound gratitude when Elizabeth experienced her newly regained sight post surgery. Elizabeth’s poem “WOW” was composed during the first month of her sight being restored. The ability to see the incredible world around her again had such a profound impact that she was compelled to write the poem in an attempt to distill the emotional magnitude of her journey. That is why the poem occupies such a prominent position at the beginning of her book.This book recounts moments from her story about going from life as a sighted child, through early adulthood, when she first received the devastating diagnosis of the disease that led to the gradual reduction of her sight that ended in blindness. But going blind and being blind are not the same thing, nor is going blind just about learning to live in darkness. It is Elizabeth’s desire to explain the psychological complexity of that transition as well as share the incredible twist of fate that enabled her to have a portion of her vision restored a decade later. Elizabeth is working on a collection of children’s stories that embody themes of compassion, determination, resilience, and pushing past limiting beliefs based on the lessons she learned from her experience as a disabled individual.

Red Carpet event and Fashion Show to benefit Caregivers Wednesday, Sept 21, 6:00, 501 Broadway Studio in Santa Monica. Tickets are $75 and Carefgivers are free. Go to CaregiversSafePlace.com to buy tickets or to donate to the 501-c3. Whether taking care of a parent, spouse, child, friend or neighbor, being a caregiver can take a toll. Carletta Cole knows this from experience as she took on the role of caregiver after her mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, which was causing dementia, while she was a single mom. “A lot of people really don’t understand until they’re in that position, what caring for an aging parent, kid with disability, traumatic brain injury, veteran, is like,” Cole said. “It’s a hard situation to be put in.”
We all crave connection. We long for partnership and passion. We pray for sexual ecstasy, rapture, and union. We know in our bones there is more to explore, more pleasure to be had. We want it all. And we want to give our all. But we don't have a map to lead us into that territory. Susan Bratton's Six Essentials for Connected Sex give us that map.
Much of the relationship advice we hear is rooted in the belief that “relationships are hard,” and you have to do a lot of healing work before you can love freely. The approach mapped out in Sexual Soulmates turns that model upside down by making playful sex the focal point for healing and transformation. Relationship frustrations melt away in the crucible of what Susan calls "erotic playdates." The time and energy that previously went into the struggle gets redirected. You start to bring out the best in each other—in the bedroom and out —and empower each other to give your gifts to the world.
Most men and women don’t have the basic building blocks for sexual fulfillment. This book puts those basics in your hands. These essentials are so obvious, so simple, and so much fun to play with, they can turn your sex life into an outrageous adventure.
In a world where digital natives get their sex education from ography, where hookups are practically obligatory, and where everyone’s head is in their phone rather than their heart, Sexual Soulmates provides the antidote by showing people how to feel their natural desire, follow their pleasure, and TRUST that asking for what they want is a surefire way to get it.
These simple strategies will transform your sex life into a love-drenched journey of epic-erotic proportions.

Brenda’s quest has been to find ‘right now relief’ in an upset—so that we can go from chaos to calmness in 30 seconds when challenges of any kind arise at home or in the workplace. To aid in that endeavor she taught conscious conflict resolution in six countries.
Her devotion to instant evolution out of common stressors like kid-chaos for parents and grandparents, calmness in the classroom for teachers, and workplace woes to workplace wisdom began twenty years ago—and ever since, she’s been offering others, through her private practice, books, courses, and by speaking to audiences, ways to free themselves from upsets and inner conflict—on the spot!
She discovered that joy is natural to all of us and she enthusiastically helps people rediscover theirs (all day long) by using one of the strategies in her book, The Kid Code, 30 Second Parenting Strategies—endorsed by Jack Canfield, bestselling co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul series. He says, “I absolutely love your work. Your book is phenomenal. Everybody needs this book.”

One of the most important and “neglected” things in the early stages of a cancer diagnosis is the Living Will.When someone is diagnosed with cancer, their chances of dying before their spouse rise up tremendously.(Not all cancers though). A living will is a legal document that stipulates the medical wishes of someone when they are no longer able to state their wishes themselves. For example, whether they would like a feeding tube inserted; whether they would like to be put on a mechanical ventilator when they can no longer breath on their own, whether they would like intravenous nutrition etc. The absence of this document can put a huge strain on the family because many times family members don’t agree on what to do; causing rifts in families that may never heal

“Eileen could have never imagined how her life would change in the course of one wintry night. Authorities confirmed that the plane her husband was piloting on his way home to celebrate Christmas with the family had crashed, and he had not survived. With three young children and an entire lifetime ahead of her, Eileen’s journey through the valleys of grief and the peaks of hope brought her to a place that is nothing short of miraculous. Author, speaker, yogi, and philanthropist, Eileen Robertson Hamra, shares her experiences in her first book, Time to Fly, available now through City Point Press and Simon and Schuster. Along the way Eileen discovered that keeping promises to those that have left this world is a lifelong act, and honoring one love does not mean foregoing the freedom and love that is found in reopening your heart, trusting in new love and expanding your definition of family.”

I was born to help people feel better about themselves. (It’s a long story!) Professionally, I became a parish minister. Honestly, I had a love-hate relationship with that. (Another long story!) In that role, I helped grow – by any measure you want to use – three congregations, each under very different circumstances. Along the way, I became an Adjunct member of the faculty of Candler School of Theology at Emory University. I helped originate the “Teaching Parish” program there.
I earned my doctorate in Counseling at Boston University, was the Director of a non-profit counseling center, and co-founded my own counseling center. In addition to serving local faith communities, for almost thirty years I have been – and continue to be – an Adjunct faculty member at Bryant University and Johnson & Wales University.
I have been helping people in all ages and stages of life, from teens to folks in their nineties – work through feelings of guilt, inadequacy, anxiety, anger, grief, trauma and depression – just to name a few. I have helped people work through relationship issues, life crises and life transitions.
What makes me different is the wide variety of people and settings in which I have worked. I am deeply steeped in spiritual development and am conversant in the languages of culture and spirituality, accepting people where they are and helping build a framework to allow them to develop in ways of their own choosing.
Having worked with thousands of people over the years, my goal is to inspire others to realize their own inner magnificence, both in terms of becoming aware of it and “owning it” and in terms of creating a life based on it. At the end of our time together, I want people to say “I feel good about being me!”

Jordan can discuss for your listeners the economic dynamics of Hollywood filming across the U.S. and share her behind-the-scenes experiences of covering a big-budget film production.
The entertainment that movies provide is deeply embedded in American popular culture. And in recent years, numerous states have decided to give tax credits to filmmakers to encourage them to film in those states.
This has become an important part of those states’ economic strategy. As of 2018, 31 states offered such tax incentives, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL).
While the move has been controversial in some states, it has been a hit in others, such as Georgia, with Atlanta now being called “Hollywood East.” The state claims an economic impact of $9.5 billion since the film tax incentives were passed in 2008.

Exuding sincerity and a rare, down-to-earth charm, he is, simply put, the epitome of traditional country music. After nearly a decade of writing, playing and touring, Bogart has begun pulling in big numbers in every arena, literally. Whether it’s the main stage at the AQHA World Championships with thousands in attendance or the social media scene with over 3.5 million fans reached through all social video platforms lead by “The Cowboy Way” and “Cowboy Ride” with over 2.6 million, Bogart’s songs have connected with America’s Heartland in a real, tangible way that modern country has perhaps missed. He released Leather in 2017 which landed him on the GRAMMY voting ballot and garnered critical praise for “grounding itself in the foundations of country music fandom's tenets of faith and family.”(CriticalBlast.com) For more information on Paul Bogart, visit www.paulbogart.com.
Join dave Nassaney (Caregiver Dave), The Caregiver's caregiver, as he co-hosts with Neil Haley on the Neil Haley Show, as they interview Former Secretary of the Department of Health Don Rheem.
Born into the Rheem Manufacturing family, Don Rheem learned early on that the days of a hierarchical approach to management had come and gone. With millennials flooding the workplace and bringing their unique perspectives with them, Don recognized that businesses needed a new leadership paradigm.
Think about it – as human beings, our most compelling need is for connection. As a species, we have evolved to prosper in clans and tribes; in the 21st century, the workplace is the contemporary tribe. This is why it is so critical today that leaders create the conditions where employees feel safe and can form trusting relationships with managers and peers. Don helps business leaders focus on the systems, processes, and environments that match these prosocial conditions. The results? A significant increase in employees’ mental capacity, job performance, and intrinsic drive to give more to their organization – all of which directly impact your bottom line.

Join Dave Nassaney and his co-host, Adrienne Gruberg, as they interview Bob Harrison, author of "Because of Annie." Bob Harrison was an ordinary guy who served twenty-four years in the US Air Force with his wife, Annie, by his side. When Bob retired from the armed forces, he and Annie decided to settle down and try to find the American dream in Wichita, Kansas. Things went well for a few years, and their two small antique businesses thrived. Then, on a warm summer day a stranger came out of nowhere, knocked on their door, and immediately transformed their lives into a clash of two worlds. The stranger’s name was blood cancer, full of chaos, evil, and the inhumane—versus love, compassion, hope, and faith. Through Bob, from his eyes as a loving caregiver, you’ll see the trauma, feel the pain, hear the laughter, and share in the love of two people that fought until the end. This is not an ordinary trail on a walk through cancer. It’s a chronological journey from the beginning to the end, with an unlikely twist. Bob’s hope and dream is that someone will learn from his experience and not have to relive this story. After all, it’s Annie’s story—Because of Annie.

It retains memory and lives on, building upon its experiences for inner growth and full realization of itself. Kristina has also been in the presence of souls crossing over in her work as a hospice volunteer and caregiver, affirming to her that the times of birth and death are truly the most powerful of every being. Her book, All Was Love, in partnership with artist, Trea Christopher Grey, is the result of a long personal spiritual journey and her openness to the soul, Tammy, that connected with Kristina while Tammy’s soul was transitioning through the experience of death. It is Kristina's hope that All Was Love will help change the way most people think and feel about death, life and love.
As a caregiver off and on for over 25 years, I truly understand the depths of selflessness that caregivers give to others and as well, the level of self care that caregivers need. The nurturing support of friends and family is crucial too. I have had to learn to have more balance in my own life of what I do for others and what I do for myself. I now know that I must care well for myself and get my needs met to be able to sufficiently give my energy to others.

Gary and wife Cassie adopted a baby daughter, Eva Rose in 2013 and remain very close to his son Matt and daughters Sarah and Millie, who’ve since spread their wings for school and successful careers respectively. “Family is everything to us”.
Once a week, Chapman sings live from his living room and tells the stories behind a different classic hymn. “These timeless songs were the only thing that gave my father peace in his final days. When he was struggling, I would just take out my guitar and play the songs that I had learned as a child for him at his bedside. Singing those hymns I grew up with helped me remember what music is really for.” After a long struggle with Parkinson’s and Cancer, Gary’s father went to be with the Lord in peace like a preacher should, Easter morning at sunrise. “A Hymn a Week” has grown into a global, loving community. https://www.facebook.com/ahymnaweek/

My name is Cassidy Bastien and I am founder and creator of the Caregivers Hub Facebook Page and Support Group. I am 31 years old and have been a Certified Nurses Aid since I was 18. I live in Washington State with my boyfriend and my weeny dog. I currently work for a home care agency, taking care of my 86 year old client whom I have been caring for 24hrs a day 4 days a week for the past almost two years. I got my certification in Montana where I was raised. I had worked in the local retirement home kitchen when I was 16 and that is how I fell in love with the geriatric population. As soon as I had graduated highschool I went to the local nursing home and underwent training to get my CNA. Over these many years I have done everything from skilled nursing facilities to private care, from activities to restorative work. The biggest learning experience of my career and where I found my heart was working as the only activities and restorative aid in the Alzheimer's unit. August 2015 I decided that it was time that I do something with all of the knowledge, experience and nursing skills that I have, and started putting together the caregivers hub. It has been my platform to share all that I know with family caregivers and my fellow CNA. The caregivers hub offers information on hospice, family Caregiving resources and Medicare, provides encouragement and support to others on their Caregiving journey. The support group holds all recorded hangouts on the above stated topics and is a place for all caregivers to connect and learn from each other. It is available to anyone who is mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically providing care for someone.
