Five caregivers, Pegi Foulkrod, Gincy Heins, Trish Hughes Kreis, Richard Kries and Kathy Lowrey got together and decided to share their collective wisdom with other caregivers. We all started, knowing just about nothing about caregiving but we learned “on the job” and by talking, laughing, crying and sharing with each other.  365 Caregiving Tips: Practical Tips from Everyday Caregivers is the beginning of a series of books created with the intent of helping others through their caregiving journey.  The tips are practical because as caregivers, we have to be practical.  We have to make the most of our limited time, money and energy and these tips are designed with those limited resources in mind.  Listen in and learn how Pegi Gincy, Tirsh, Richard and Kathy are creating Healing Ties all around us!  Chris MacLellan, The Bow Tie Guy, is the host of Healing Ties and the author of "What's The Deal With Caregiving"  To learn more about Chris visit www.thebowtieguy.com  Healing Ties is apart of the Whole Care Network, INC    00:35:00Chris MacLellan The BowTie GuynoCaregiving,LifeAfterCaregiving,TheBowTieGuy,HealingTies365 Caregiving Tips: Practical Tips For Everyday Caregivershttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thebowtieguy/2016/04/25/lgbt-caregiving-is-there-a-differenceCaregivinghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thebowtieguy/2016/04/25/lgbt-caregiving-is-there-a-difference/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thebowtieguy/2016/04/25/lgbt-caregiving-is-there-a-differenceMon, 25 Apr 2016 21:00:00 GMTLGBT Caregiving: Is There A Difference?Is there a difference for LGBT Seniors and their Caregivers?  We will find out on this episode of Healing Ties, as we visit with Serena Worthington, Director of National Field Initiatives at SAGE USA. Serena is a veteran in aging services and is an expert on LGBT Aging issues.
