Estate Planning, long-term care insurance, and retirement planning have been on my mind since my mid-40s!

Working as a Psychologist at long-term care facilities and watching my elderly parents struggle with chronic medical conditions made me think of my own estate planning a decade ago.

I purchased long-term care insurance in my early 40s yet I haven’t revised my living will since I remarried. The struggle is real.

It is an ongoing struggle to get all of our affairs in order… who wants to think about post-retirement years when you are not even a senior as of yet?!

My dad died unexpectedly and there was no living will. It was a complete mess. Tension was high among family members. Controversial discussions were held. At the end of the day, I was hurt, betrayed, disappointed and completely stressed out and emotionally spent.

This is the reason I recently finalized my decision on moving into a life care retirement community in two years.

I want to be R-E-A-D-Y and live life abundantly, courageously and to the fullest without any reservation or concerns about leaving any troubles behind once the Lord calls me home.

I want to leave a legacy, unforgettable memories and loving relationships instead.

You are welcome to follow my new blog, livingathefarms.wordpress.com

I plan on sharing upcoming adventures.

Lord,

Prepare our hearts. Renew our minds. Strengthen our hearts and transforms our lives one day at a time.

We want to be in fellowship with You, Lord, walk in Light not in darkness, share our lives with one another, be prayerful and love one another.

We do not want to flirt around with worldly things but focus our eyes on You and surrender our lives one challenge at a time amid global pandemic.

Encourage us to abide in You and be mindful of Your precepts, act on Your commands and Trust in all eternal promises.

Our desire is to walk in Faith, not by sight.

In Jesus’ name we boldly and courageously pray, Amen.

There is beauty in life even in the midst of loss and grief. There is beauty in our surroundings when we intentionally search for it.

I am grateful for life and the gift of good health this evening.

Life is precious yet temporary.

Be intentional.

Enjoy good health. Make your health a priority today.

My heart aches … the impact of collective grief is quite real but I also know the Lord is near the broken-hearted.

I heard about people either being diagnosed with a terminal illness, dying from COVID19 and grieving over the loss of loved ones from the novel virus this afternoon.

It was the most difficult “afternoon” I’ve had in 100 days❣️

In less than two hours…
I heard my hubby share about his co-worker who recently lost two family members from COViD19 a few days apart.

A friend who treats COVID19 patients was quite concerned about the rapid spread of the virus in our county.

And, helping a patient manage the intensity of deep grief after losing two family members to COVID19 in the same month was quite sobering.

As a Healthcare worker and a human being, I’ve got to acknowledge the emotional impact of a global pandemic. Let us not deny it. The pandemic is real and so our raw emotions.

Even though the struggle is real, our God is so much bigger.

Let us pray for healing, hope and peace this evening.

Thank a healthcare worker the next time you see one.
