Edinburgh, 2024
I sat in the hostel most of the day and ate til I couldn’t move, but when I DID move, I was utterly delighted.
Hope and Joy
Hope and Joy
In recognition of the International Day of Charity (5 September), I want to shine a light on a very special charity in Edinburgh, Scotland - Hearts & Minds.
I first learned about Hearts & Minds through the advocacy of the remarkable and indelibly special Phyllis Logan, who although I have never met her, has had a profound impact on my life. After learning about Hearts & Minds, and the extraordinary work they do through their Elderflower program, helping those with dementia, my heart was so full and I have sought to help and support them in every way possible.
My dear mother suffered through Alzheimer's Disease, while I was her carer. Where we lived, there was no program like Hearts & Minds to be a blessing and light for my mom...and I wish there had been.
Hope and joy are emotions so vital, yet often so fleeting for those with dementia and their carers and loved ones. Someone coming alongside, shining a light of hope, and sharing joy, is a blessing and moment of sustenance that can birth a smile, lift the spirit, and bring comfort and encouragement to the heart. Such is the amazing and uplifting work of Hearts & Minds and the joy and smiles brought by their Elderflowers into so many hearts and lives.
I am grateful for, and inspired by, the amazing work of Hearts & Minds and all that they do to bring joy and light to so many. And I am eternally inspired by Phyllis Logan, whose life, work, advocacy efforts and kindness are a light in this world.
On this day of charity, and always, may we all try and do our bit, shine a light, and pay kindness forward.
Please support the extraordinary, uplifting work of Hearts & Minds and their Elderflower program as they bring hope and joy to countless lives:
