Remembering Sr. Macrina Wiederkehr, OSB, on the anniversary of the day she was called to eternal life and share her words, “Holiness comes wrapped in the ordinary. There are burning bushes all around you. Every tree is full of angels. Hidden beauty is waiting in every crumb.” May you embrace the ordinary, see your angels, and find hidden beauty.

On this day when we embrace love, may we also open the doorway to our souls so we can walk in relationship with both God and others. "Our spiritual journey is like a dance between God and us. This mutual discovery begins with letting ourselves be found." - Virginia Blass, Experiencing God's Compassion https://www.facebook.com/reel/746655250567085

The way we conceive of the “check-engine-light for the brain” is as a tool to be used by older adults who want to plan for the future, and who want to have a tool to help them think about their own cognition and keep an eye on any changes to it.

If you think about it, measuring things relating to cognition happens at many points in one’s life (IQ tests, SAT/ACT and various exams).

However, for this exploration we started by focusing on measurement techniques used by the scientific community to study cognition in older adults. Of especial relevance are the measurement techniques clinicians use in studies that look for risk factors for dementia and cognitive impairment.

Thank you BVMs for inspiring me to look at how I can ecologically downsize. LaDonna Manternach, BVM shares: “Ecological downsizing calls me to assess how much I hang onto because ‘I might need it someday.’ I may not be the someone who needs it, so I’ll pass it along to someone who does.”
