Getting Things To Work

No matter what your goal may be, you have to invest your time and energy to make it happen.

Learning new ways to manage concerns or problems, like caring for a loved one, often requires time and energy. There is information out there that can help you be successful. There are support groups and there are a number of on line resources that can support you when you are feeling alone in your struggle.

Start out by realizing that asking for help is the first step.  Let people help you. Contact your local church or senior center to find out what resources they are aware of.  Look on-line for support group information in your area.  Check with assisted living centers and see what groups they are aware of.  Often doctor's offices know of specific groups that meet to discuss certain diseases.  If the situation you are dealing with is a neurological one, check with your neurologist for support group information.

Never feel like you are alone. There are plenty of people out there that are having the same issues you are. Learning how to manage and cope is a process. What are your concerns?

Let us know and we can offer some suggestions. Feel free to leave comments here or on our Facebook page. “Now let’s get going!”  xo Sally

Sally's Spotlight

  • The Relationship Between Humans And Loud Music
    While out walking our dogs with a neighbor on a warm, autumn Sunday morning, we discussed plans for the day. She mentioned she and her husband were going to the theater that evening to hear a New Orleans jazz trombone player and his ensemble. My husband’s ears perked up, as…

Legal Corner

  • What is a probate and why do I want to avoid it?
    Many times, clients come into my office stating that they need to have Last Will and Testaments done and at the same time, they tell me they want to avoid probate of their estate after they die.
