Holiday Special from Brownstone Therapeutics

For the months of November and December, 2007 Brownstone Therapeutics is
offering
short Oral History DVDs for $200.00.

Brownstone Therapeutics can capture your mom's life story on DVD.

This makes a nice gift for your loved ones and future generations.


Everybody has a story to tell. From my eight years as an Oral Historian, I
have found one of the greatest gifts to give someone is to just listen.

Oral History is an opportunity and a platform to share life stories and
create a legacy for future generations. Oral History Services provided: a
reminiscing group, Oral History Projects in DVD or written form and Oral
History 101, a dynamic and interactive training.

Benefits of Reminiscing:
1. Boosts quality of life
2. Leaves a legacy for the future generations by passes on life lessons.
3. Provides a place for positive and meaningful interactions between
family members through storytelling of life journey.
4. Enables older people to achieve a sense of coherence and wholeness.


Some of my experiences include:

• Produced and Directed two video-documentaries on reminiscing with
seniors: “Wise Friends” and “Community Building/One Story at a Time”.
• Interviewed 50+ neighbors in Rogers Park for local website:
www.rogerspark.com.
• Collaborated with Methodist Home, White Crane Adult Wellness Center,
Lakeshore Healthcare & Rehabilitation Centre, Edgewater Historical Society
and The Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society
• Facilitated groups for seventeen years

You can check out my twenty+ video interviews at

The Test

This past Saturday I took a test I was fearful of..I took it ...five hours of essays..oh, my goodness..the kicker was when I finished writing I wasn't tired..which I interpret as a good sign.. I faced my fears and took my test..regardless.. i moved forward..for me that means so much..
In life we can be tested all the time..in situations..relationships..it is good to know when you are being tesed and be able to see options in how to get through the test with flying colors and gain some insight to boot.

Every day is a new day

I am learning that every day is a new day..nothing is a given... everything changes..even me..even the moon which is full tonight.. What I can do is picture in my heart and mind what I want and continue to move forward.

Remembering a Friend

On this day, while the wind is whipping up leaves I am remembering a good friend, Bobby gene Mike. You are dearly missed.

A New Light

I ran into an aquaintance of several years today..She was getting on the bus and I was getting off. She remarked to me at first that she didn't know me..when I explained where we had met she remarked ..you look changed you look happy..there is a new lightness about you...I feel it...even with everything else internally I am okay.....

Enjoying the moment

Hello again...I got pulled into the summer wind for awhile...lost in the lake mist...comforted by the waves... it is hard to come back...we got to enjoy moments that call us out to play..from the ordinary... feel the spark and magic in our hearts and dance... I still have stars in my eyes... thanks..
