It is that time of year! Grab a cup of hot cocoa, a bag of tiny marshmallows
(oh yes, I said a bag) and a few candy canes.
We are going to have fun this week!
Every year, Denise Brown hosts a Blog Party through her site for
caregivers, CareGiving.com. There are several other participants,
including my husband who writes at PickYourPain.org
and friends Kaye Swain (SandwichINK.com)
and Shelley Webb (The
Intentional Caregiver) along with many others.
Of course, no party is complete without prizes and presents!
This week I will be talking about holidays, decorating, medications and
advocacy and anything else that might come up (in caregiving, you never know).
Each day I will give you a chance to win a copy of my book, “Forever a
Caregiver,” – all you have to do is leave a comment on one of the blog
posts. At the end of the week, Richard
and I will give away a grand prize of a $25 Amazon gift card. Visit either one
of our sites to enter – just make sure you leave a comment in order to be
eligible to win!
I am excited to participate again in this fun event and looking forward
to reading the blogs of fellow caregivers. Getting a variety of perspectives
during the holidays and during a caregiving situation is both helpful and
unifying.
To me, this season is all about being helpful and loving and giving and
hopeful and bringing people together. (I
don’t expect much, do I?)
These may be high expectations for the season but we need as much
goodwill and kindness now and all year long!
We just might need two bags of marshmallows . . .

Hi Trish -- I've been a member of Caregiving.com for a couple of years and blog regularly there. I'm also an active participant on WhatNext.com, the Pancreatic Cancer Forum, and the ACOR pancreatic cancer listserve. I'm also a member of a Cancer Care online support group for spouses and family members of pan can patients. I'm glad to learn about your site; I'm always looking for new caregiving resources. I care for my husband, who was diagnosed -- you guessed it -- with pancreatic cancer a little over two years ago.
I look forward to checking out your site!
Happy Holidays!

Nice to "meet" you through the blog party.
Hi Trish! Just hopping over to say "hi!" from Seniors Flourish. We are also participating in caregiving.com's blog hop. It really has been great to meet other caregivers and connecting! Happy Holidays!

Hi, Liz!
Thanks for stopping by the blog party! I don't know about you but I don't think I had near enough hot chocolate. :-)
You were the Thursday winner of my book! Please email me your address and I will get it in the mail to you. I can be reached at RobertsSister@att.net.

Thank you to Seniors Flourish for stopping by! The beauty of the blog party is it tends to continue even after it officially ends. I will definitely visit your site this week and plan to post links to everyone's website if that is okay with you!
Thanks again!
Trish
Denise,
Thanks for stopping by for some hot cocoa! :-) As you may have guessed, we are still decorating! I think we will be up until December 24. Oh goodness - I can't help myself!
You already have a copy of my book but I am happy to send you another copy if you'd like. I will put you in the hat for the Amazon gift card for sure!
Trish
Richard and I just drew the name for the $25 Amazon gift card winner and the winner is . . . . (drumroll, please) . . . :

Send me your address and I'll send the gift card with the book.
How fun!
