It is a year for dreaming
A time when we can feel
Real change in the air
Many moments of unrest
And disillusion
Interspersed with excitement
Dreams turned into a reality
The Dementia Experts
Speaking out for themselves and for
Other people with dementia
T-shirts for supporters
Asking them to
See the person, not the dementia
Not so subtle suggestions
Words of encouragement
As we walk together
United as one
Dementia Alliance International
Members and supporters
Ps. Don’t forget most Saturdays I post a recipe here

Great that you are home safe and sound Kate. Thank you for your blogs from the U.S. , your ups and downs struck many cords with me. It does sound that despite those downs and the hard work you put into paddling that the trip was successful with some good outcomes. Well done, you are an amazing ambassador – for our country and for people living with a diagnosis of dementia. Are those Tee shirts you are showing available to purchase? The biography is going well, with my ‘client’ getting much satisfaction from recalling and talking about her very long and interesting life – it is going to be a gift for her family that I hope will be treasured.

Great to hear from you ahgain too Wendy, and of your work as a volunteer biographer for people with dementia.
I wonder, would you send in an Abstract to the ADI conference in Perth next yeaqr about it, for us to consider, as I htink it is very important work, and not being done in many places? Fingers crossed… x
