As Memories Slip Away


Just in case you missed NPR's Morning Edition this morning. I thought I'd share a link to the StoryCorps clip aired. This clip was recorded as part of the Memory Loss Initiative.

The Patterson's share what they have learned about living with Alzheimer's, and really living in the present moment. They hit on a key point for sure. Like Eleanor Roosevelt said...

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that's why they call it the present.

Listening and Loving

Many of you may know of the work I am currently doing with StoryCorps. There will be many exciting projects to come, but today something special will happen. NPR will be airing a beautiful clip that was recorded as part of the Memory Loss Initiative.

This morning at 8:20 on NPR's Morning Edition tune in to hear why I think StoryCorps is so wonderful, and its value with those we care for suffering from memory loss or dementia.

I hope you will listen and let me know what you think.
