Are you the kind of person who might have tuned into some amazing ideas and wants to tell the rest of the world (to inspire and even to help us get out of a jam like climate change and miseries common to the human condition) ? Yes? Me too.

Hearing about what a savvy parent was encouraging her middle school kids to say if they were feeling strongly about standing up for what they believed and for rooting for someone insulted, I shared the following. Any dicey topics (Level 3 I call them as I've made up basic categories of Level 1, 2, 3, and 4 etc) to give examples of ways to frame social interactions and conversations in person, on the phone, with email or in writing or other documents (such as legal statements or court documents, etc.)

Everyone can be informed early and often that life can have twists and turns.Whatever

As part of a group of caring individuals who have taken trainings to become an "E-OLD" or  End of Life Doula (a support person in terms of information and care, not as a medical, legal or social service professional), we share many ideas.

One that is coming up is about 'what to call ourselves' in terms of what people can readily understand, consider and accept to help us connect with them in a caring, non-medical, non-legal yet professional manner. Some may feel 'all of this information' is online or easy enough to find with help from a librarian, a doctor or senior center or attorney.
