National Family Caregivers Month and the day of all Saints

November 1, 2020 by Lisa Gigliotti No Comments

Today as we honor the start of National Family Caregivers Month and the day of all Saints—we reflect on the overlap of themes and give gratitude for those in our past who selflessly provided for our daily needs or guided us to step up to the potential we might never had recognized or attained. 

It is our opportunity to offer service as caregiver and saint by compassionately opening ourselves to give emotional or physical care to family or those in our community, to smile with our eyes while passing others in our mask, and to listen with kindness to others who express differing views or we perceive as unkind.

Songs for Peace

June 9, 2020 by Lisa Gigliotti No Comments

Stirred by images of my beautiful mother and her guitar…singing, singing, singing…a message of social justice from her soul through the late 60s and 70s. Songs “Has Anybody Here Seen My Old Friends Abraham, Martin, and John”, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone” and “Blowin’ in the Wind” passionately intoned to urge peace and love.

She had witnessed the brutality of racism and combat’s destruction in WWII Europe and felt an obligation to use the means she had—her song–vowing not to stop until the world was rid of prejudice and war. Her ardent example compels you and me to use the means we have each day to promote peace and the valuing of all lives.
