Let us eat cake and talk about death
I started a virtual Death Cafe shortly after starting my practice. I discontinued after a about a year due to other obligations, but I’m starting them again. I will host another community Death Cafe-style virtual event on Tuesday, May 14 at 6:30 PM ET. It is free and open to anyone, and the conversations can be about anything that you feel you need to talk about. Holding these conversations by Zoom allows everyone to participate and gives us all a sense of togetherness, but if you’re not ready to share with strangers, I’m available for private chats as well. I’m still looking for a location to do an in-person event locally where I can also livestream for those who want to attend remotely. A few people have asked about Instagram or Facebook Live, but those venues don’t facilitate conversations between each other, which is the benefit and foundation of a Death Cafe. I also am available in my private group Solace Sanctuary if people would feel more comfortable carrying on discussions or continuing discussion that way. It is a safe and sacred space where anyone can talk about death, dying, aging, grief and other “big” life and death stuff.

The American Healthcare System and End of Life Care
Hey there, folks! Today, let’s talk about something that’s been a topic of discussion for quite a while – the good ol’ American healthcare system. Now, we’re all familiar with the infamous saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But when it comes to the US healthcare system, it seems like the saying might need a little tweaking – “If it’s broke, let’s talk about fixing it!”
National Tattoo Day
It’s National Tattoo Day.
Do you have any special or memorial tattoos. I’d love to see and hear the stories of them. Some of our inked art holds deep personal meaning, and serves as beautiful reminders of loved ones who have left an indelible mark on our lives.
Memorial tattoos are a unique way to keep cherished memories close. Each one tells a story of love, loss, and the enduring connection we hold with those we miss. We have a permanent reminder to keep our loved one close to us in our thoughts to inspire and guide us.
