For those experiencing the ‘living loss’ of a loved one to Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, finding moments of happiness can be far and in between. Yet when you keep your eyes, ears and heart open you can sometimes be touched by a moment that allows you to share a smile which is all you need...

A forever Hero

Why do books matter?  Because they continue to impact the reader long after the book is read! August 2009 Be The Hero was released.  January 30, 2010 master coach and author Noah Blumenthal presented his book at a fundraising event for Stillpoint Center for Spiritual Development.  October 2010 — ten months later — someone who...
