Currently Browsing: We Break for Spring!
We end our We Break for Spring celebration as we began: Playing.
You can play an instrument, play a board game, play cards, play tag or play a favorite song.
Or, maybe you’ll take a playful attitude.
You can play for a minute or two hours; it’s not about the time but about the doing.
So, how will you play today? Share in our comments section for a chance to win a beautiful gift basket. Congrats to The Unit...
Today, as part of We Break for Spring!, we commit to learning something new.
It could be that you’d like to learn about a new resource or a new option for your caree. Or, you’d like to learn about a new technique that could make caregiving easier for you. Or, perhaps you’d like to take today to learn something new about someone, like your caree or another family member. Or, perhaps...
We all have one—that one problem (sometimes small, sometimes large) that we avoid. We see it, we know it’s there, we know it needs our attention. So, instead we watch TV, or call a friend, or read a book, or just fidget.
But not today!
Today, we solve it.
We make the phone call, ask the question, find the receipt, make the decision, have it out, take the high road, begin the dialogue, commit to an...
We’ve been busy playing, growing and planting. Today, we take a break to reflect.
Caregiving teaches. What have you learned? Have you learned to know that the saying “This too shall pass” says it all? Have you realized life is too short to waste on grudges? Have you gained an insight into your caree which helps you better understand yourself? Have you come to understand that everyone is wounded...
It can seem, because of caregiving, that your future is on hold. Certainly, some aspects must wait.
The waiting provides the opportunity.
So, today, what seed can you plant which will bloom in your future? For instance, can you research a trip? Begin a business plan? Start an exercise program? Take a online class? Make online connections that can help with a career change?
It may seem like it’s on hold,...
Caregiving changes everything. Especially you.
So, today, as part of our We Break for Spring! celebration, we’re talking about growing. How have you grown because of caregiving? Have you grown courage? Faith? A back bone? Compassion?
We’d love to know: How have you grown because of caregiving?

We’re breaking for spring!
Today’s question is: How will you play today?
You can play an instrument, play a board game, play cards, play tag or play a favorite song. You can play in our Solitaire Showdown (starts at Noon CT, 1 p.m. ET).
Or, maybe you’ll take a playful attitude.
You can play for a minute or two hours; it’s not about the time but about the doing.
So, how will you play today?...
We made it! We say good-bye to winter and hello to spring. To celebrate, we’ll holding a week-long contest on Caregiving.com called We Break for Spring!. We’ll celebrate spring while encouraging you to take a break (even a short five-minute one) daily to do something just for you or about you.
We kick off our celebration with a friendly (??) card game we like to call Solitaire Showdown. The showdown...
We broke for spring last week, but it wasn’t our last break. Bette suggested we break for summer, fall and winter. So, we will.
Thanks to all who joined in. I loved reading about you and especially learning about another side of you. I’m always amazed at the talents and gifts you each have. I’m grateful when you share those with us.
Julie Camp won our Facebook Fan Page contest; we asked you to...

We’re breaking for spring!
Today’s question is: How will you play today?
You can play an instrument, play a board game, play cards, play tag or play a favorite song. You can play at working when you’re really resting (I can do this–if you need tips, just email me).
Or, maybe you’ll take a playful attitude.

This week, we break for spring. Let’s also take a break from guilt!
Let’s commit to making decisions that honor us and our priorities without guilt. Let’s take a break from believing others judge our decisions and actions, which can lead us to question what we’re doing and how we’re doing it. And, that, of course, leads to guilt.
Let’s enjoy a reprieve from believing others know...
