“In order to be successful caregivers to our friends, family and those we care for, we need to learn how to get more out of the care-giving experience than we put in. We are all teachers to someone in life. The moment you connect with an elder in your life, you give him or her your time, your attention and your touch. In this way you can open up a channel for them to contribute to your life in a way you never imagined possible.”
As caregivers, counselors and support staff, we can learn to be present with others and to become more self-aware and self-loving. My philosophy and experience for understanding the spirit were taught to me by my time with Bee Landis and the work with my book, Exit Strategy, as they helped me to see how my objectivity was anathema to her self-discovery.

What can we learn from this? What would we gain if we took a few moments to see what was truly inside another being, our patients? What if we set our preconceived ideas and internal stories aside for a moment in order to witness their light and love?
“One of the most beautiful compensations in life is that no
man can help another without helping himself.” – Emerson
