Note from Susan

Dear Friends,

 

Chances are it's really hot where you are . . . this summer is a doozy!  I don't know about you, but the picture above really speaks to me as a caregiver, and prompts the question:  How can you "wash away" increased stress when the "heat is on" and your stress level is rising?

 

With this in mind, we have something totally new for those who need a "portable beach"! In the past year we've worked with Dale Springer, CEO of NewReality, to develop 2 unique relaxation tools utilizing CA's unique blend of music and stress-relieving, healing messages.  Both tools can be used anywhere, anytime and are customized:  one is for family caregivers; the other for healthcare professionals. We're really proud of these wonderful tools and know you'll find them truly helpful.  Check them out (!) at the link below:
