Hello everyone, this last week has been very challenging for many families. There is a lot of information to take in, process and navigate.

Information is changing everyday. We want to help you as much as
we can. We have lots of great resources listed on the website and
we are always able to connect with you.

This week Yvonne has been hosting a Facebook Live daily
at 430 EDT.  Here is the link. Next week the Facebook Live will
switch toMonday, Wednesday and Friday. This is a time to virtually
meet, connect and  chat about whatever you would like and
Yvonne will offer tips and suggestions to help you navigate
this new temporary lifestyle.


We also wanted to share that with the help of Michelle Emson from Sanctuary studios, Yvonne's book Love Your Life to Death
is now available as an AUDIOBOOK!! 

We would encourage all of you purchase your copy today and if you feel it has value, please share with someone that you think could benefit.

Global Grief and Just Showing Up!

3/18/2020

2 Comments

 
 
It is March 18th, 2020 and we are in the midst of a global pandemic.
The corona virus, (COVID-19) has become an international crisis.
We are in a state of emergency and experiencing global grief, on so
many levels.  There is uncertainty with health, social isolation and
many are not working as restaurants and industries close their doors.

These are very challenging times. And as always I encourage
everyone to acknowledge and allow their grief, their feelings and fears. We need to talk about it and know that it’s understandable, having
all of these feelings. We don’t have to strong for everybody and
pretend that everything is OK. It’s OK to say we’re struggling…
and then we have a choice.

 We have the choice to fuel the positive and focus on what we
CAN do and move forward together. Because connection and
Just Showing Up for ourselves and each other is key at this time.

So I’ve chosen to reach out to people; text, email, call and hosting a Facebook Live every day at 4:30 EST to connect people and also to
share and hear ideas from others; children are at home because
schools are closed. What can we do with our children? People are struggling even to get groceries. So let’s share ideas and support
each other in any way we can.

I share this with you today to encourage you and asking you to
share positive thoughts and ideas, anything you’ve tried and can
suggest to help people move through this time of uncertainty.

And if anyone would like a #IJustShowedUp bracelet and card,
just reach out at info@loveyourlifetodeath.com and we will send
you one: I Just Showed Up teaches people of all ages how to
Just Show Up for themselves and others, so they are empowered and resilient when grief arrives.
And grief is here—globally. And so is choice!

We will get through this. You never know what awaits on the other
side of grief. I believe we have tremendous opportunity to be strong together, to support one another through all of this and to create positivity as we get to the other side.

We can do this, together. Please share your ideas and join us on
Facebook Live daily (How long? For however long it takes!).
Take good care of yourself and each other.
Better times are ahead.

Don't Let a Disability Define You

3/11/2020

0 Comments

 
Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here. I am back in the studio
at Hunters Bay Radio. I am in the studio with Melissa Perry.
Melissa had some many amazing things to say on her show that we decided to do TWO shows. (It was really fun!) We were talking about
your journey with Nathan, raising three boys and Nathan who has Cerebral Palsy and special needs. Let’s touch on a few things that
we said were the most important for community to know
as you travel this journey.

We talked about Nathan, his personality and how funny he is.
We also talked about being genuine and kind towards people with disabilities, what questions to ask and how to not frame a question. (Using kind and respectful curiosity). We talked about balance.
We talked about self-care for the caregiver.
Let’s be honest, balance does not exist! (At times).

We did a two part series, and in the first we spoke about
“person first”, what that means is to not label a person by their
disability. For example, instead of using the words autistic child,
we use child with autism. Not labeling them or defining them by
their disability. The disability does not define them. It is a small
part of a whole person. I think it is important to recognize that and
to talk about that. We also spoke about being a caregiver, we have to
fire the martyr, and be OK to ask for help, and also as community, if
we see that someone appears to be doing OK, Just Show Up for them.

Be a part of their community. It takes a community to raise a child,
it takes a community to raise a child with special needs ten fold.

Tune in our show.
We will share part one this month and part two next month.

Melissa Perry Part One

Thank you Melissa for being awesome.
Thank you Nathan for being a shining star.
​I just love you! I am not even afraid to say it.
Thanks bye for now!

Get Out There and Have Some Fun!

3/4/2020

0 Comments

 
It is March 2020 and I’m in Muskoka and as you can see there is
still a little bit of snow here. It is exciting because we know that spring
is on the way, but we also know that there still might be some winter storms coming. So I want to encourage everybody—today is a beautiful day—and we really need to remind ourselves that the weather
is going to be the weather, no matter what it is, we need to go out and PLAY!!  No matter what age we are, no matter where we live--
hot weather, cold weather, whatever.

Today has been a phenomenally beautiful day so I went for a nice
long walk and now I’m going to sit outside in a lawn chair in the sun
and enjoy this weather. Some people would just see all this snow
and think… “Ugh!! I wish all the snow would go away.” And it will.

​If that’s your attitude you’re missing all of the wonderfulness
in the moment. I can hear birds singing, there are squirrels running around. There’s so much to enjoy. So don’t forget the good stuff.

Go outside and play today.
I’d love to hear what you’re doing!!
Have fun!
