We had a wonderful Gratitude Journaling class at McGregor today. The seniors learned how this practice can help them find the good in their lives, and provide balance and perspective to get through the tough times.

Lots of smiles at The Slovene Home today when we brought FayFay the therapy dog in to visit.  She really brightened up our client’s day and helped her to reminisce about happy times with the pets she used to have.  Lots of doggy kisses too!

Many thanks to the management at McGregor in East Cleveland for inviting me to present my “Stress Relief for Caregivers” program at their monthly staff meeting.  I discussed the unique stresses that professional caregivers face in their daily tasks, and gave them ways to stay peaceful, healthy and balanced amid the pressures of their personal and professional lives.

We had a wonderful group today at Aberdeen Crossing Assisted Living.  I presented my “Power of Intention” class, helping the participants to realize how powerful their thoughts are.  We discussed being proactive and creating the life we want, rather than being victimized by circumstance into accepting a life that may not be fulfilling for us.

We had a fantastic turnout today at The Jennings Center for Older Adults for our “Balance and Yoga Stretching” class! 30 residents, using walkers and wheelchairs, learned that they can do yoga!  I made it achievable and easy to understand, and helped them realize that it’s never too late to get healthy and achieve balance of body, mind and spirit.
