Even in your grief, you and your sister are in service to others. Your sweet mama’s spirit lives on and I am so very proud to know you. Bless you for your good and generous hearts.

What a wonderful post, Karena. It is so important that we build up our strength when we're young and keep going all our lives. I was tickled that you mentioned Qi Circles! Thank you. Beautiful post!

Good advice. My mother cared first for her mother and then for my father and it was a demanding job, both physically and emotionally.

Thanks, Karena. I’m caring for my kids and my dad right now. I think a lot about how to take care of my mind. This is a great reminder to take care of my body too
