A little piece of mind in a world full of what if’s

Originally posted 2017-02-09 16:50:48. If you have read all my posts you may recall when I mentioned something about Dusty and him almost getting on an ice cream truck. Kayla kept him from listening to the guy that was trying to get him on the truck.  As a parent things like this terrifies the hell out of me. Well, you would think anyone would worry about someone kidnapping a child, even more if it’s a…

She passed peacefully

My “step grandmother” passed peacefully. Unfortunately, no one bothered to tell us she did. So we were unable to attend any of the viewings she had scheduled. My aunt wasn’t even told she passed. She is in the mountains of North Carolina so she would have had to have known alot sooner than I. But she’s now up there with my grandpa, who if you recall (or if I even posted about it) unfortunately committed…

Good for Dementia or Alzheimers?

Originally posted 2019-10-30 07:00:00. Anyone seen this? I friend shared it on her facebook page yesterday and I just thought this was awesome. I feel like some of the patients in the memory care units, nursing homes would benefit from this. But I of course haven’t seen it with my own eyes. What do you think?

Update on bio father

Originally posted 2015-10-29 13:44:42. I think we all have a bit of “crazy” at times. Some more than others. I feel like it’s an overage of emotion, emotional outbursts.

Call me crazy, call me what you want. Do you know how incredibly easy it…

Study: Memories of music cannot be lost to Alzheimer’s and dementia

Originally posted 2020-12-14 08:30:28. The part of your brain responsible for ASMR catalogs music, and appears to be a stronghold against Alzheimer’s and dementia. Some music inspires you to move your feet, some inspires you to get out there and change the world. In any case, and to move hurriedly on to the point of this article, it’s fair to say that music moves people in special ways.  If you’re especially into a piece of…
