Just for Now, without asking how, let yourself sink into stillness. Just for now, lay down the weight you so patiently bear upon your shoulders. Feel the earth receive you, and the infinite expanse of the sky grow even wider as your awareness reaches up to meet it. Just for now, allow a wave of breath to [...]

Therapeutic Recreation Month 2012
Therapeutic Recreation has its roots in the military, believe it or not. You could say the first known accounts of such work was done by Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War (1853-1856) where she became best known for her special work in caring for wounded soldiers. It wasn’t until the year 1981 that the National [...]
Gratitude
Happy Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be thankful for. When things are going well in our lives it is easy to come up with ideas of things we appreciate. During difficult times it can be more challenging to bring thoughts of gratitude to mind. My senior year of high school, a friend of [...]
Creating Space Opens New Doors
In that last two weeks or so I’ve been talking to friends who are dealing with the often-dreaded experience of moving.

It seems in Boston the most common lease-start date is September 1, which means that for some people this [...]

Welcoming the Whirlwind of Summer
Well, June is here. In fact, we are at the mid-way point already! To me, it always seems like January, February and March drone on, while before I know it July 4th, the true mark of summer in my personal dictionary, has come and gone. All winter long, I long for the warmer weather, longer [...]
How to Care and Cope
I apologize for the delay in posting April’s book review! As you can see we are now into May and I am just getting this post up. I had my own version of some recent caregiving events as well as some struggle to find an equilibrium in my work/life/caregiving balance. My parents live long-distance and [...]
