Jan’s Coping Toolbox: Lessons Learned in 2025
Welp. 2025 sucked.
I like to think I’m pretty good at self-care strategies. But last year was challenging. Here’s my recap including the worst comment from a healthcare provider and some new helpful coping tools.

“Humanity does not differ in any profound way; there are not essentially different species of human beings. If we could only put ourselves in the shoes of others to see how we would react, then we might become aware of the injustice of discrimination and the tragic inhumanity of every kind of prejudice.”

Hi Jan, I made "Gentle Spectrums" group changes. It always was for pets, books, nature, gardening, music and anything important; including helpful social commentary. It is minus reading challenges in 2020, for personal news that I explain there. I hope we renew participation. Your friend, Carolyn.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Jan!E-books and PDFs take longer to read because I can't curl up with them. I have a desk and desktop PC in an office. Please know I have not forgotten your collection of stories and that I look forward to them.
May we all be blessed, happy, and at peace. May we all be in long-lived good health and may the prayers we have, be answered! Your friend, Carolyn.

I am very happy to get to know you, Jan! I'm on rural dial-up in Manitoba so the messaging mailboxes and recommend button are off limits. Easy to name titles in this main website body and for private discourse, my e-mail need only be asked. Spirituality not governed by religion is my kind of faith! :) Warmly, Carolyn.
