As a Compassionate Caregiver, I can tell you firsthand that is a question on the minds of many seniors as they come face to face with mortality. “Who will tell my story?” Some seek to preserve their history and legacy through the written word: prose, fact, fiction, and poetry. What is written can never be unwritten, and for generations of writers, putting pen to paper (or digit to key, in today's case) is as good a way to secure an everlasting thought which will, hopefully,

Me and a simply wonderful lady who I have cared for, going on 1.5 years. Helping her family out, brings rest for the family and care for her. Win win Without a doubt, growing older brings wisdom, perspective, and life experience. But we must acknowledge for millions of seniors, aging also brings something far less celebrated-loneliness. What many people don’t realize is that loneliness isn’t just an emotional hardship. It’s a serious health risk that can significantly affe

❤️ Gestures that come from the heart, with no expectation of anything in return, like a simple smile or a thank you are what truly matter. A stranger, child, spouse, colleague or anyone you are communicating with. If we have done our best to make someone’s day a little better, that alone is an act of kindness and love. The small things do count. Today, I realized I was wrong about something. I had to course correct quickly and offer an apology to a stranger. And you know

There is no doubt January can be a hard month. The holidays are over, the days are short, and the cold can make even simple outings feel like too much. For many of the seniors I work with, getting out and about isn’t always possible and that can make this time of year feel especially quiet or lonely. That’s why I talk so much about self-care . Not the fancy kind. Not the expensive kind. And definitely not the kind that requires a lot of energy. I’m talking about the kind o

Happy New Year With Smiles Never underestimate the value in giving your time to show the seniors in your life you care. It matters more than any of us realize. May 2026 be a great year for you and your families, filled with blessings. Danielle Pointon Live Blue Consulting XOXOX)

I recently watched a new documentary from Chris Hemsworth- A Road Trip To Remember. Chris and his dad are on a road trip, after a recent diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. In the film you realize the importance that close connections have in therapy for the person’s quality of life. It is worth a watch. Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease often means searching for ways to maintain connection, comfort, and dignity as memory changes progress. While medications may help m

Happy Friday - I hope your week has been great. Today is World Diabetes Day! What does that mean to you? Perhaps nothing or perhaps everything! If you have been personally touched by Diabetes, you will know there are a few things you need to do to put your best foot forward for living a long beautiful life. That’s actually how I started Live Blue Consulting, not the medical part of managing Diabetes but rather talking to people about the benefits of moving your body. W

As I walked into the retirement community this morning, I was reminded of how Remembrance Day affects people in so many different ways. I asked one gentleman if he was going to attend the ceremony? He replied “I will celebrate in my own way”… At first I thought he was being cheeky, but he really meant that Remembrance Day means something different to him. What I loved 🥰 was his genuine authenticity in his response. The lady that I spend much time with, requires I meet her

I was doing a road trip recently to a paddling event. Afterwards we went to Nashville and heard many artists and song writers. One young girl caught my eye and ear. When a song hits you at the right moment, it can feel like the universe whispering, “It’s time.” That’s what Jessica Rose’s newest single, “A Chance,” does so beautifully. It’s not just a melody—it’s a message. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the biggest changes in our lives begin with a single brave decisio

Fall 2025 I read the most beautiful literature this week, that is very symbolic of life. I personally believe there is no such thing as perfection, learning is CONSTANT. In addition, we are unique with our approaches to solve problems given the obstacles we had to overcome. I often will say I am perfectly “ imperfect ”. A play on words. One very important piece of advice that became abundantly clear in my years of age so far, is the deep need to be connected to au
