Self Care for Caregivers:

The most important person in the experience is YOU!

We are here to support caregivers of parents, spouses, and friends of any illness or disease.
I call myself an Involuntary Expert.  My experience is from eight years of hands on, day to day, 24/7 care of my husband who has Lewy Body Alzheimer’s.  As I moved along through the new challenges of each year, I kept notes, journals, files of resources, and developed some systems that made my life easier.  Now it is time to share my knowledge with others on how to stay positive and healthy while facing some of life’s toughest challenges.  Learn more about my background at About Joy.

When my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, I closed my business, Ignite The Community Spirit, and put my life on hold …. until now.  However, giving to others is ingrained in my heart and soul, so you will learn about creative non profits, NGO’s, and causes like micro lending on Community.  I encourage you to find a way to get involved.  A percentage of my profits will go toward these organizations.
So have fun, explore the site, and come back often to see what’s new.  Don’t forget to sign up for newsletters, and do check out the Blog page for more tips and resources.

Joyfully …… Joy!
