My PHILOSOPHY

Dare to Dream with Dementia

There is great sorrow on the dementia journey. This I will never deny. But what if I told you that you are allowed to dream and to live in beauty and joy while living with dementia. Joy is not the opposite of sorrow. They are woven together. Beauty is not the opposite of darkness. It is the light mixed with the darkness that brings depth and fullness to life. My work is a living invitation to live in the balance of that deep sorrow and light, finding the moments of possibility.
