Today, on National Senior Citizens Day, I’m celebrating the incredible older adults who have taught me so much. 🩵

Our seniors are so much more than a diagnosis, a care need, or a housing decision.

They are parents and grandparents. Veterans and community leaders. Caregivers, teachers, professionals, homemakers, neighbors, and friends.

They have decades of stories, accomplishments, resilience, wisdom—and purpose.

As someone begins needing more support, it’s easy to focus on what has changed or what they can no longer do. Instead, I think we need to ask:

Who is this person? What still matters to them? What has been their purpose—and how can we incorporate a modified version of that gift into their life today?

Maybe they can no longer tend the garden they once loved, but they can help choose and care for a few plants. Maybe cooking for the entire family isn’t possible anymore, but they can still share a favorite recipe or help prepare part of a meal.

Aging may change how we do the things that give us purpose, but that doesn’t mean we stop needing to feel useful, valued, and connected.

Their voice matters. Their independence matters. Their purpose matters. Their dignity matters.

Today, ask an older adult in your life what has brought them purpose and joy—and then think about how you can help keep a piece of that alive. 🩵

Happy National Senior Citizens Day!

Such a wonderful day at the PNW Post Acute & Primary Care Summit! 🩵🙏🏻

I always love the opportunity to connect with people who share the same passion for supporting seniors and their families.

The relationships we build within our healthcare and senior care communities matter. The more we learn from one another and understand the resources available, the better we can support families when they need us most.

Thank you, PAC Med, for bringing us together to connect, learn, and continue strengthening our community of care. 🩵

I’ve been thinking about my grandpa a lot lately. ❤️

He was, by far, the most dedicated father figure in my life growing up. I don’t remember him missing a school event, milestone, or activity—even after his stroke.

He was a World War II veteran, a community leader, and the kind of man everyone could count on. He never said no to serving others. If there was a problem, he was the first to come up with a solution.

He taught me how to fish, took me camping for the first time, and could fix just about anything. More importantly, he showed me what love looked like—not through grand speeches, but through showing up, serving others, and being there when you needed him.

After his stroke, his mobility changed dramatically, and I saw firsthand how much harder everyday life becomes when movement and independence are affected.

What I remember most, though, was his determination.

He worked tirelessly in rehabilitation, took physical therapy seriously, and celebrated every bit of progress. I can still picture him proudly doing water aerobics at the YMCA. That image has stayed with me all these years.

Although diabetes made recovery an incredibly difficult battle, he never lost his hope or his will to keep trying.

Today, I carry those lessons into the work I do with families every day.

His story reminds me that recovery isn’t only about the outcome. It’s about hope, perseverance, having the right support, and celebrating every small victory along the way.

Looking back, I also wish he had received more rehabilitative support outside the home. Through my work, I’ve seen how skilled rehabilitation teams and compassionate care providers can make such a meaningful difference during those critical windows of recovery.

My grandpa’s service, faith, resilience, and unwavering work ethic continue to shape the way I care for others.

I’m grateful for the example he set and for the lessons he continues to teach me, even years later.

Thank you, Grandpa. Your story still inspires me every single day. ❤️

Today is National Parents’ Day, and it has me thinking about how relationships with our parents change as we move through life.

For so many years, they are the ones checking on us.

Did you eat?
Did you get home safely?
Do you need anything?
How can I help?

And then, sometimes almost without realizing it, those questions begin to change direction.

As our parents age, we may find ourselves checking on their health, helping with appointments, noticing changes around the house, managing medications, or beginning conversations about what additional support might look like.

That role reversal can be beautiful, difficult, emotional, and overwhelming, all at the same time.

Today is a wonderful opportunity to appreciate our parents not only for what they have done for us, but for who they are. Ask another question about their life. Listen to a story you’ve heard before. Make the phone call. Spend the afternoon together.

And when the time comes for them to need a little more from us, remember how many times they showed up for us.

Happy National Parents’ Day to the parents who raised us, the parents we are caring for, and those we carry with us in memory. 🩵

Yesterday, I stood at Tahoma National Cemetery for the interment of my stepfather.

He was a quiet, humble man whose life was made shorter and more complicated by the lasting effects of Agent Orange exposure during his service in Vietnam.

He entered the service trained in radio repair and operation, but his duty ultimately called him to something very different — preparing the deceased for their return home.

A responsibility few of us can imagine, and one he carried without asking for recognition. In fact, for years he didn’t even seek the Veterans benefits he had earned. He simply wanted to leave that chapter of his life where it was.

Today made me reflect deeply on what service and sacrifice really mean.

Every salute, every word, and every movement at Tahoma was filled with purpose and dignity. Even the volunteers have stories — many turning their own experiences with loss into service for other families.

Through my work, I have the privilege of serving Veterans and their families throughout the Puget Sound region. Today, “thank you for your service” somehow felt too small.

So many Veterans carry stories we will never fully know. Stories rarely told. Sacrifices never celebrated. Experiences whose consequences sometimes don’t reveal themselves until decades later.

Today, our family laid one of those stories to rest.

I am grateful for his service, grateful for the beautiful way he was honored, and reminded that every Veteran has a story worthy of being heard and remembered.

God has him now. 🙏🏻

May we never forget what they carried for us.

A heartfelt thank you to Barret West, Amy Schmidt, and Retirement Connection for bringing us together to support Valley Medical in Renton.

I was so grateful to be part of this event and to have the opportunity to share my business with the people doing such meaningful work on the front lines.
Sharing my “why” and helping others understand the heart behind is so important to me. Education, connection, and true knowledge of the services available to families can make such a difference.

What made the event even more incredible was knowing we helped raise funds to support low-income and uncompensated services for patients who come through Valley Medical. Together, $5,500 was raised, and I could not be more proud to be part of such a thoughtful and generous community.

Thank you so much for the opportunity. It is truly wonderful to be part of the Retirement Connection family!

One of my favorite parts of doing this work is finding like-minded people who share the same heart for serving others.

Jennifer Thompson is one of those people.

She is an incredible human who genuinely puts people first. Helping others isn’t just part of what she does—it’s the foundation of who she is. She leads with compassion, serves with integrity, and truly cares about making a difference in the lives of the seniors and families she works with. The business naturally follows because people can feel her heart.

She’s my kind of girl.

Thank you, Jennifer Thompson, for being my table partner at the Valley Medical event. It was such a pleasure to spend the evening educating providers about what we do, how we do it differently, and—most importantly—our why.

It was an honor to stand alongside someone who shares the same passion for serving our senior community. Looking forward to many more opportunities to work together!

Brain health matters — and so does planning before a crisis.

In my latest article, I share why education is one of the most powerful tools we can give families, especially those navigating dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive decline, and Veteran benefits.

If your loved one is a Veteran or experiencing memory changes, I hope this gives you hope and direction for the road ahead.
