A Caregivers Path

October 7, 2015 by Amy White Leave a Comment

A few months ago, I was asked to share my story with a local Caregivers organization. As I was reading it over the weekend, I realized that many of my readers may not know the story of how I became a Caregiver. If you are a Parent/Caregiver, welcome! I am glad to have you along on […]

Dear Caregiver, I see your eyes and I know how lost you feel right now. I can imagine your thoughts and all of the emotions you are feeling; angry, sad, mad and blaming all at the same time. You are in shock. This child or loved one that you have tried so hard to love through all […]

In today’s Caregivers in the Spotlight guest post, Brandi Gowan, author of the blog mydaughtersmind.com which chronicles her journey as a caregiver of a young daughter with mental illness, shares some of the challenges of caregiving in her own words.

I am excited to share today’s Caregivers in the Spotlight guest post written by Annie Slease.  Annie and I met each other on twitter just over two years ago when I first launched this blog. I felt incredibly lucky to meet Annie and was grateful that she was willing to talk about her journey as a caregiver. […]

Loving Heart Wide Open

This post was originally published as part of Gently Moving Forward‘s Be Love Month Does it feel like everywhere you look these days, there are reminders that it’s February, the month of love? How often do you see a commercial or hear a radio spot about love and think “ugh, really, blah blah blah”? I […]

Yoga, Hip-Hop and Healing

YOGA

Over this past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend a yoga conference in the mountains of Vermont. Perhaps, upon reading this, your mind went right to a visual of hippie flower children running around the mountainside Namaste-ing each other. And you know what? You’d be right on! Oh, but it was so much more […]

Happy Belated Birthday, Far From Paradise!

April 7, 2013 by Amy White Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago (boy time does fly) this blog turned One Year old. It passed with very little fanfare and unfortunately without even a small celebration. Real life, as it is said, had gotten in the way. However, the anniversary of my first blog post is really something to celebrate and even more […]

March 6, 2013 by Amy White 9 Comments

Over the past couple of days, I have been following along with the congressional hearings of the House Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee on mental illness and violence, being held in response to the December 2012 Newtown, Conn. shootings. I have read a number of stories, essays and blog posts by parents who are participating […]
