You've been thrown a friendship ball. Throw it to someone who is special to you. A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end. It keeps us together, like our circle of friends.

Thank you, my friend!

Why people with dementia wander – and how families can keep them safe Wandering or ‘exit-seeking’ is common in dementia, often triggered by confusion or memory loss. Families need practical strategies and government support to navigate the risks.

Dedicated to the memory of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. A nurse's pledge: “I am a nurse. I will not permit consideration of religion, nationality, race, or social standing to intervene between my duty and my patient. I am a nurse. I will maintain the utmost respect for human life. I am a nurse. I make these promises solemnly, freely, and upon my honor. And I will do it again, every day. Every day. Every day. Amen.”

Dedicated to the memory of ICU nurse Alex Pretti, this is a nurse's pledge.

Statement from Matt Moberg, Chaplain of the Minnesota Timberwolves “If you’re a church posting prayers for peace and unity today while my city bleeds in the street, miss me with that softness you only wear when it costs you nothing. Don’t dress avoidance up as holiness. Don’t call silence “peacemaking.” Don’t light a candle and think it substitutes for showing up. Tonight an ICE agent took a photo of me next to my car, looked me in the eye and told me, “We’ll be seeing you soon.” Not metaphor. Not hyperbole. A threat dressed up in a badge and a paycheck. Peace isn’t what you ask for when the boot is already on someone’s neck. Peace is what the powerful ask for when they don’t want to be interrupted. Unity isn’t neutral. Unity that refuses to name violence is just loyalty to the ones holding the weapons. Stop using scripture like chloroform. Stop calling your fear “wisdom.” Stop pretending Jesus was crucified because he preached good vibes and personal growth. You don’t get to quote scripture like a lullaby while injustice stays wide awake. You don’t get to ask God to “heal the land” if you won’t even look at the wound. There is a kind of peace that only exists because it refuses to tell the truth. That peace is a lie. And lies don’t grow anything worth saving. The scriptures you love weren’t written to keep things calm. They were written to set things right. And sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is stop praying around the pain and start standing inside it. If that makes you uncomfortable - good.”

"The scriptures you love weren’t written to keep things calm. They were written to set things right.
And sometimes the most faithful thing you can do
is stop praying around the pain and start standing inside it.

“Totalitarianism is never content to rule by external means, namely, through the state and a machinery of violence; thanks to its peculiar ideology and the role assigned to it in this apparatus of coercion, totalitarianism has discovered a means of dominating and terrorizing human beings from within.” ~ Hannah Arendt

We know why they encourage random violence against peaceful people, why they murder in cold blood, why they kidnap children. Those who cannot earn support through persuasion instead terrorize. It is the societal-level version of the abuser who says to his victim "don't make me hurt you."

Hearty congratulations, brother Barry! Keep building community, my friend. ☮️🗽🙏🦋

“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.” ~ Anne Lamott

Sharing grief is not cathartic because it makes the grief go away — it does not. It is cathartic because it allows us a way to experience and express the love that remains.

Ending dementia stigma could change its trajectory: Cancer’s history shows why Dementia today occupies the same stigmatized, system-neglected space that cancer did half a century ago. And history shows us that stigma, not simply the absence of cures, delays progress.
