What do you do when your parent needs care, but doesn't deserve it? Christopher was a caregiver to his mom before she died of cancer. He really didn't WANT to take care of her, but he felt that he HAD to take care of her, even though she didn't really take care of him as a child and teenager very well.  With his father nowhere in sight, his mother nearly gave him up for adoption. Instead, she struggled to provide a life for him while battling multiple psychiatric disorders. Because of her struggle to keep a job, he went from being an average 13-year-old kid living in a 4-bedroom house to being a homeless 7th-grade-dropout, living in the family station wagon — and, if that wasn’t enough, he had to share it with 18 cats and 2 dogs! As a result of his mother’s limitations, Christopher constantly endured mental and physical abuse throughout most of his young life. For the next four agonizing years, Christopher suffered through — and survived — many painful experiences, which ultimately made him the man he is toda

Dave's Hammock Wisdom - New Book Excerpts

A month before the murder of his wife, Nicole, O.J. Simpson posed for Margaret Susan Lowell in the living room of his Bel Air home. Lowell sketched his face, mixed paint to match his skin tone and then took photographs to aid her later. As she had done with dozens of players before him, Lowell did her preliminary work at the football player's home, then returned to her studio to complete the portrait. Some hang in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, and others in an alumni museum in the San Francisco Bay area. Margaret ticks off a list of who's who in football as she recalls the portraits she has done: 49ers Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott and Dwight Clark to name a few. John Maranz. Her father was a world-famous artist who painted Dwight D. Eisenhower, Winston Churchill and General Douglas MacArthur. She was hospitalized with a stroke that left her with no memory for 1 year. Her memory miraculously came back (to her doctors unbelief)! She is currently living at an assisted living center in Gl

In the summer of 2009, Andrew crashed his motorcycle that left him with a T7 spinal cord injury. He continued on despite the changes to his life and began putting his experiences online through his YouTube channel: “Angl747″. He just wanted to make videos about the things he did and the places he went and those experiences to share with the online community. He also thought, what if there was more I can try to do? The name, DisabledLifeMedia.com is a name he kicked around but the word "disabled" legibly implies "incapacitation" and he didn't like being referred to as "disabled". In fact, he struggled with it after his injury and even though he knew he would most likely always be referred to as "disabled" from society standards,he realized that the word can have a profound affect on the way he looked at himself, the way he is looked at, and how our community as a whole, is perceived. But he is not and our disabled community is not incapacitated, they are "THIS-Abled" to do what they strive for and that is how

There are over 100 million caregivers just in the United States, that is roughly one third of the population. That means that every single one of you probably knows someone who is caring for a loved one that is disabled, elderly, or has some kind of disability. That doesn't even include all the parents that are giving care to their kids who might have special needs, or the ones who are grieving the loss of a loved one who are in need of support of some kind. Caregiver Burnout is at epidemic levels! The sad thing is that if not corrected, these loving, dedicated and self-sacrificing heroes will become as sick or sicker than the ones they are caring for! Do them a favor, and share this post with them so they might be able to listen to my recorded pod-cast that airs on my radio show. We have a different guest every Saturday at 3:30 pm PST. They just might pick up a tip or two that could make all the difference in the world between surviving, or going over the edge and getting closer to burning out. We discuss
