My Inspiration

Hello,

My inspiration to blog came from 3 people. One was Alyssa Johnson, who started a blog about transitioning called, "From Freeways to Fjords". Another was my niece, Adrienne, who started a blog called, "Auroraisms", documenting her daughter's activities. The third was from my nephew, Peter Arbuckle's Aunt Susan, who is a hospice volunteer. She encouraged me to blog about the experience of becoming and working as a CNA and Home Health Aide.

My final inspiration came from teaching, and transitioning from there to healthcare. I have many past stories, about working with individuals with special needs, such as my previous entry about the "Senior Sing-a-Long", that tie in to working today with seniors and others who are ill.

I also know that I can draw from my teaching experience to help clients learn to be as independent as possible, and to regain, or at least maintain, a quality level of life, and to adapt to new circumstances as they arise. Even ROM - Range of Motion Exercises, are another extention of the type of physical development work I did with my students.

I am open to different possibilities, as I explore this field of work. Alyssa, Adrienne, and Aunt Susan - thank you for your inspiration. I hope I can be an inspiration for others as I work my TLC with my clients.

'Til next time,
Stephanie
