Hello friends…  I need your help. Voting in the 2014 Best Senior Living Awards ends in less than a week.

As some of you know, I started this blog with one goal in mind. I wanted to reach the widest audience possible to offer support and education, encourage advocacy, and share our story in hopes of helping others on their Alzheimer’s journey. I’m proud and honored that the blog has been nominated in the 2014 Best Senior Living Awards’ Blogs by Individuals category.

Here’s where you come in! Popular vote determines which nominees will make it to the final round, and getting to that point would increase The LaWR’s exposure significantly.

Right now I’m behind, but your votes can easily change that! If you have just 30 seconds to click the link below and vote for (i.e. “like”) The Long and Winding Road, I would be very grateful. Please help me as we continue this fight to END Alzheimer’s! Voting closes Monday, April 28. Thank you so much. ❤

Unfortunately, only those with Facebook accounts are eligible to vote because voting consists of clicking a “like” button on my voting page.

It was a gorgeous Easter day here in Ohio. Nothing but sunshine and blue skies! I made my mom’s spaghetti sauce and meatballs this morning and let everything simmer on the stove all day before assembling a big pan of lasagna for our holiday dinner.

The smell of that wonderful sauce gently bubbling away and having lasagna for dinner brought back happy memories of Easters past. When my daughter was growing up, most of our egg hunts were done indoors due to the typically cold, wet Midwest weather – but we never missed one! And as with all of our holidays Mom was up early and making all kinds of magic in the kitchen. No one could put together a scrumptious meal like she could. Continue reading →

As the third most deadly disease in the U.S., Alzheimer’s is taking a huge toll on us. But it is not just a U.S. crisis, it’s a global crisis. And only by working together can we find a treatment or a cure.

Reps. Smith, Fattah, Waters, Burgess and Meadows have come together to propose the Global Alzheimer’s resolution, which would create a much-needed global action plan and fund for fighting Alzheimer’s.

Take action TODAY and tell your representatives to co-sponsor this critical legislation, H. Res. 489 – there’s no time to waste. It’ll take no more than a few minutes of your time, and your voice could make all the difference in the world.
