We use several icons to help illustrate what we believe is an important piece of the journey towards ‘Betterness‘.

Road Warriors are either facing or have faced serious health challenges. Their experiences have taught them what works, and have provided them with insights and ideas that can enrich the lives of others. Road Warrior Stories illustrate how to advocate, find personal ‘betterness’, and Choose Joy irrespective of the circumstance. Road Warriors’ real life circumstances have taught them what works. They’ve ‘been there’ and have a unique perspective on how to live life better, with courage and passion.

Care Team Stories are contributions from caregivers, family members and heathcare practitioners dealing with anything and everything to do with caring for others. These stories also speak to the importance of caring for one’s self as well, a critical issue often overlooked by even the most experienced among us.

Everyone (including you!) is an Everyday Guru, able to share ideas with the potential of enriching the lives of others. They are everywhere: in your doctor’s office, on the bus, at the grocery store. Everyday Gurus present insights and inspirations that illustrate ways to create more joy, find inspiration, experience relaxation and more. Everyday Gurus are all around us and we can all learn from them if we only open our eyes, ears and heart to the infinite number of positive examples they set for us every day. Look for Everyday Gurus and become one yourself as you discover ways to live better, together, with joy.

Hearty Hints are solid pieces of advice to help others effectively face their own challenges head on. Submitted by Road Warriors, Care Team Members, and Everyday Gurus, these tips and strategies address common issues that may feel anything but common to you, while encouraging you to remain true to yourself. Hearty Hints are meant to help us advocate for ourselves and those we care for, and take charge of managing the things in our lives that we can control.
