This book will help you learn to take risks, to be first in reaching out of the box, and to explore possibilities even if they fail. When it comes to working with our senior communities and those in assisted living, Karen describes how she and her staff members utilized an Occupation Therapy approach by considering peoples abilities as a primary focus of care.

Her stories are heartwarming but each carries a lesson that will lead you to explore ways to improve your life and interaction with your family, and improve the life of those you work with or for.

With a background of more than 30 years in the field of Assisted Living, Karen has learned the importance of the gift of renewal when actively being involved in your community or program to help others achieve joy.

While this book will be extremely helpful to anyone in the field of Assisted Living or considering a position in the field, it is simply a warm and wonderful book filled with great stories, wit, and wisdom for any reader.

This activity book is based on the best-selling book, A Walk In Rose's Garden by Karen Swasey.

We must come to realize that we will all take that walk from stepping stone to stepping stone in our life's journey. It's important to record that journey for future generations. We have a legacy to leave and it's our responsibility to share that with the people who love us and future generations.

We're addicted to our devices; phones, computers, tablets.

When was the last time you took out a pen and wrote a note or a personal letter?

What if your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, and future generations could read about you in your own handwriting even long after you're gone?

How would it feel to sit with them and share that info NOW!?

Someday, it might be important for them to know your favorite song, what ice cream flavor makes you happy, what memories will be important to you when you are having a bad day or need some support.

This book is where you get to put it all in one place for now and for posterity!

The depth of our memories are the life stones within the stairway of a life lived. Never underestimate the gift that your life story will bring. It's the gateway to a peaceful journey.

In her second book, A Walk In Rose's Garden: Our Stepping Stones in Life, author Karen Swasey has shared with us a treasure trove of stories, journeys taken on the stepping stones of the lives of many people she has known and helped over her years in the assisted living field. She entreats us to embrace the memories from our heritage and share the stories of old.

Keep the pathway of your life story alive for generations to come.. so that your loved ones may understand the path taken and lessons learned. Envision your place of tranquility and peace that you may visit this place of refuge. Lift the vail of miracles and faith so that one may find the gift of being present.

Many of us say that we don't have time to write our stories. However it's important that we create an interest in sharing our memoirs and to make sure that not all is dependent on a wireless frequency... but it is a written tome, held in hand to be cherished.
