So it’s the end of January, and I don’t think I’m alone in growing weary of the dark, damp, cloudy days. Unfortunately, I can’t make spring come as quickly as we would like, but in lieu of that, I thought it would be fun to have a Frosty February GIVEAWAY!

If you haven’t read The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, it’s a great little book. Incorporating the simple, yet powerful agreements into your daily routine will change your way of thinking and help to keep your life on a positive, joyful path. It’s one of those books you can easily pick up and read every once in awhile when you need a reminder or just want to refocus.  I wrote a piece on it not long ago on Caregivers, and it can be found here:  http://www.caregivers.com/caregiving/liberate-yourself/

Now then, on to the important stuff. To enter the giveaway, all you have to do is a leave a comment on this post. Just say hello, tell me how you heard about my blog, or share any other interesting tidbit you would like. How easy is that?! One entry per reader, please. The contest will remain open for two weeks, and a winner will be randomly chosen at 10pm EST on Wednesday, Feb 13.

Good luck!

Great Strides in Research

While we would all love nothing more than for a cure to be found tomorrow, we should realize that ALZ research really has come a long way in recent years. An informative article from A Place For Mom discusses some of the newest techniques being used for early detection. From brain imaging and genetic markers to examining proteins in blood and cerebrospinal fluid, researchers are making progress every single day.

These advances underscore the importance of supporting organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association as they work to increase awareness and raise research dollars. Another critical part of the equation, of course, is reaching out to your legislators to stress the urgency of this issue.
