Just like the title says, I am closing for self care.  I need to take a bit to process 2021.  I have a bad habit of working when I should be resting...or stretching myself a little thin at times.  With two hospice patients and and a client,,,plus this lovely podcast and my family, something had to pause.   Thank you so much for listening!  Happy New Year!!!  See you in 2022!!!

One of the phrases I hear very often in the military is "Words Matter".   I think we can all agree that they definitely do matter and they also have the power to change the perspective of a situation....and sometimes the outcome too.   In this podcast we explore a few words or phrases used when talking about people who are dying from illnesses or dying in general.  I also talk about how we can turn those phrases or word around and put a more positive spin on death and dying.   Support the show (https://paypal.me/butterfliestoangels?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US ..read more
