What if our stress epidemic is really a warning about how we're living—and caring? My latest, inspired by Drs. George & Whitehouse, reframes chronic stress as a cultural signal within what I call "American Dementia."

When a loved one’s dementia diagnosis enters the room, one may well feel brokenness and despair if the message is not delivered by enlightened, informed, and realistic expert providers. Despite the stigma surrounding this diagnosis, it is possible to live well with support following the diagnosis.

On the birthday of Martin Luther King, we honor his fierce moral clarity – and his insistence that dignity must include access to compassionate care. This quote still resonates with me, especially for families navigating dementia, disability, and the inequalities surrounding aging.

........Changing “I” to “we” isn’t just a word choice — it’s a moral shift. In a fractured moment like this one, that collective lens feels more necessary than ever. We are reminded about how movements — and healing — begin.

At this moment in history, the call to conscience rises above politics. This quote resonates deeply with the mission of ABeautifulVoice.org. The message feels especially urgent as we face ongoing social and existential challenges together. #MoralClarity #CoryBooker #DementiaAwareness
A meme with Cory Booker's quote as he spoke on the Senate floor in his historic 25+ hour oration yesterday: "For all Americans it's a moral moment. It's not left or right. It's right or wrong." As a former care partner for both parents, I am hoping that someday, we will also look at how we care for people living with dementia through this lens.
