I gave a talk on being a caregiver
at TEDx Ubud on May 28, 2016. The talk is now on You Tube and you can see it
here:
People asked me afterwards what it
was like to stand in front of an audience and speak intimately about my life as
a caregiver. As with many events in my life, this one had a life of its own. I
did the work and followed along. Yes, I had to push myself beyond my fear of
public speaking but the rest felt fluid. The script seemed to write itself. The
memorization was surprisingly easy.
My creativity is much like that too.
Inspiration comes and I follow. I find it difficult to conjure up the creative
spirit – it conjures me.
I’ll be posting soon with some of
our latest creations and new directions we are going in here at ‘World on a
String’.
In the meantime check out my book, Piece by Piece: Love in the Land of
Alzheimer’s. The story is much more
than about Alzheimer’s. It’s a terrific love story and a travel adventure as
well. You can find it on Amazon at:
