The Caregiver Queen of Bling on Payday
Activated Attention Deficit Disorder
In the service of others, when we often work with families in crisis, one of the most potent tools in my bag is HUMOR. I find that my constituents; septos, octos and nanos, have a wonderful sense of humor. They know how to laugh at themselves to relieve stress and gain perspective. The funny story below was originally read to me by my Mom, a classic Octo herself; warm, cultured, who maintains a very active lifestyle in spite of some serious diagnoses that she refuses to discuss with me- more on this as time goes by. Imagine me sitting in front of the fireplace at a condo in Lake Tahoe, my Mom insisting she read this to me out loud from her KINDLE! BTW, she received this poem some time ago via e-mail, but since I had just added her e-mail account to her KINDLE, which she has owned for over a year, she reacted as if she had just seen an old friend!

The whole world is obsessed with catching people doing things wrong; just look at shows like TMZ, E!News, and websites like Huffpostcelebrity and Celebuzz. AT HOME CAREGIVERS likes to CATCH PEOPLE DOING THINGS RIGHT. Faranisese Hamilton is a CareGiver doing everything right! An old friend and supporter called us when her father was on his deathbed, and Faranisese served him for two days until he passed peacefully at home surrounded by his family. Their daughter, Lisa G., wrote to us that, “you were a huge help and Frances was a gift!”. Frances then went to work for a VERY challenging client, Rochelle, and the Case Manager, Brandy told us she was “doing great, and getting along do well!”. A well earned, and much deserved CAREGIVER SALUTE to Farinesese!
