Urine drug testing provides critical insights for addiction treatment, helping clinicians understand what substances patients are actually using and how the drug supply is rapidly changing. Matthew Rutledge, founder of MD Labs, shares his expertise on testing methodologies, detection capabilities, and emerging trends in substance use.• Different drug test types include basic immunoassay cups (similar to pregnancy tests), which detect drug shapes but can have false positives/negatives• Liquid and Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry provides highly accurate substance identification down to nanogram levels• Developing tests for novel substances takes 2-4 months, requiring standards and validation across hundreds of specimens• Poppy seed muffins can genuinely cause positive opiate tests depending on seed source and patient body mass• Unexpected test results require clinical judgment—some exposures may occur through contamination, intimate contact, or environmental exposure• Integration of pain and addiction medicine allows better co-management of patients with both conditions• Emerging threats include nitazine opioids, exotic benzodiazepines, and tianeptine ("gas station heroin")• Test adulteration methods (vinegar, bleach, dilution) can be detected through validity testing for oxidants, creatinine levels, and specific gravityTo contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: From Chaos to Command: Luka's Unexpected Leadership Leap Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-06-29-22-34-02-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Лука је седео за својим столом у светлој и проветреном канцеларијском простору, покушавајући да се сконцентрише на гомилу извештаја.En: Luka was sitting at his desk in a bright and airy office space, trying to concentrate on a pile of reports.Sr: Био је дан "Доведите своје љубимце на посао" и којекакве животиње су пратиле своје власнике у корпорацијски свет пун стаклених састанкаоница и модерног намештаја.En: It was "Bring Your Pet to Work" day, and all sorts of animals accompanied their owners into the corporate world full of glass meeting rooms and modern furniture.Sr: Мила је, као и обично, стигла прва са својим псом Рексом.En: Mila was, as usual, the first to arrive with her dog Rex.Sr: Овај огроман крзнени сноп енергије је увек био у покрету, лајао би на сваку особу која је промицала и весело машући репом, правио би врло мало простора за рад.En: This massive furry bundle of energy was always in motion, barking at every person passing by and cheerfully wagging his tail, leaving very little room for work.Sr: "Лука, види Рекса! Он само жели да се игра!", рекла је Мила с осмехом на лицу.En: "Look, Luka, see Rex! He just wants to play!" Mila said with a smile on her face.Sr: Међутим, Лука је имао озбиљан задатак — да импонује Мили својим вештинама и да избегне сусрет с Драгановим мачком, Вискерсом.En: However, Luka had a serious task — to impress Mila with his skills and avoid an encounter with Dragan's cat, Viskers.Sr: Драган, иначе човек за техничке ствари, довео је Вискерса, али то нису биле добре вести за Луку.En: Dragan, who was the tech guy, brought Viskers, but this was not good news for Luka.Sr: Он није волео мачке, а Вискерс је имао навику да неометано упадне у сваку просторију.En: He did not like cats, and Viskers had a habit of unannounced appearances in every room.Sr: Током преподнева, Рекс је, у својој игри, успео да запетља све каблове у предсобљу, стварајући хаос без премца.En: During the morning, Rex, in his playfulness, managed to tangle all the cables in the foyer, creating unmatched chaos.Sr: Вискерс је, узнемирен галамом, успео да се увуче у сервер собу и попео се на највишу полицу.En: Viskers, disturbed by the commotion, managed to sneak into the server room and climbed to the highest shelf.Sr: „Аууу, Лука, можеш ли помоћи?“, запита Мила која се борила да обузда Рекса.En: "Auuu, Luka, can you help?" Mila asked, struggling to restrain Rex.Sr: Лука је знао да је ово тренутак када мора да се докаже.En: Luka knew this was the moment he had to prove himself.Sr: Сабравши храброст, кренуо је ка сервер соби.En: Gathering his courage, he headed toward the server room.Sr: Вискерс је седео на полици, посматрао све око себе као да је господар света.En: Viskers was sitting on the shelf, observing everything around him as if he were the lord of the world.Sr: Лука, с погибељном решеношћу, попео се на столицу и пажљиво пружио руку ка мачки.En: Luka, with deadly determination, climbed onto a chair and carefully reached out to the cat.Sr: „Добар Вискерс, полако...“ говорио је, и на чудо, Вискерс му је дозволио да га узме у наручје.En: "Good Viskers, slowly..." he said, and miraculously, Viskers allowed him to pick him up.Sr: Дрхам тамо-где-не-би-требало, Рекс је одједном престао да лаје и прилазио иза Луке, машући репом.En: Causing trouble where he shouldn't, Rex suddenly stopped barking and approached behind Luka, wagging his tail.Sr: Лука је спустио Вискерса на под и Рекс и мачка су чудом постали једно од ретких партнерских парова у канцеларији.En: Luka put Viskers on the floor, and to everyone's amazement, the dog and the cat became one of the rare partner pairs in the office.Sr: Тог дана, када је хаос престао, Мила је похвалила Луку за његову оданост и храброст.En: That day, when the chaos ceased, Mila praised Luka for his dedication and bravery.Sr: Лука је с осмехом не више само преживео радни дан, већ је доказао да може да реагује и у најнеочекиванијим ситуацијама.En: With a smile, Luka not only survived the workday but proved that he could respond in the most unexpected situations.Sr: Научио је да се не треба бојати неочекиваног и стекао је нови осећај самопоуздања.En: He learned not to fear the unexpected and gained a new sense of confidence.Sr: Његови колеге, као и Мила, сада су га гледали с новим поштовањем.En: His colleagues, as well as Mila, now looked at him with new respect.Sr: Лука више није само млади аналитичар, већ лидер у настајању, који је избавио канцеларију од правог зверињака.En: Luka was no longer just a young analyst, but a leader in the making, who saved the office from a real menagerie.

Manuel was late for church and stuck at a red light. As he waited impatiently, his daughter noticed a stranded driver trying to fix a tire. “Daddy, you’re good at changing tires,” she said. “You should help her.” Manuel was now going to be very late, but he knew this was a divine appointment. He stopped to help, even inviting the other driver to church. Paul and Silas faced an interruption in Acts 16. They’d encountered a slave girl with an evil spirit who kept shouting (v. 17). For several days Paul ignored her. Finally, he became too annoyed and said to the demon, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her” (v. 18). Paul had made a conscious choice to serve others even when it was inconvenient. When he freed the girl, it only became more complicated. Her owners lost the means to make money from her (v. 19). Paul and Silas were seized and dragged “into the marketplace to face the authorities” (v. 19), beaten, and thrown into prison without a trial (vv. 22-24). Serving Jesus comes at a cost. Jesus told His disciples they were to take up their cross and follow Him (Matthew 10:38). This is the way of Jesus: we’ll be interrupted and sometimes suffer, like our Savior. He invites us to accept those unexpected interruptions. How will you respond when they come?

Allison Williams' filmography is loaded with variety, but it's also packed with examples of how one project can influence another — even if they're in entirely different genres. There's the hit HBO comedy-drama series Girls, which first sent Williams' star skyrocketing. As that show wound down, Williams headlined a feature film for the very first time, Jordan Peele's Academy Award-winning horror movie Get Out. Williams continued to enjoy great success in the genre, but wound up exploring an entirely different corner of it with the horror-comedy M3GAN. Now, M3GAN 2.0 let's her do just that yet again as the horror-comedy concept becomes a horror-comedy-action film.M3GAN 2.0 picks up about two years after the events of the original film. Since Gemma's (Williams) A.I. creation went on a murderous rampage, she's put her focus on advocating for government oversight of artificial intelligence. However, when Gemma discovers that the M3gan tech wasn't entirely destroyed and was used to create a military-grade weapon called Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno), she's left with no choice but to resurrect and team up with M3gan to stop Amelia from growing too far beyond the control of her human creators.With M3GAN 2.0 now playing in theaters nationwide, Williams joined me for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to retrace her journey in film and television thus far, and to dig into how her craft in front of and behind the lens has evolved.

Hey Family Brand — it's Melissa here. Today's episode is a little different, and honestly, it's one I tried to record six different times. It took me a while to even figure out what I wanted to say because this one hits close to home. Last week, my cousin and his wife passed away unexpectedly in a tragic plane crash, leaving behind two little ones. Even as I write that, my heart feels so heavy. It's every parent's worst nightmare to even imagine not being there for your kids as they grow up. It's something we never want to face — and I never thought we'd have to. But this experience really made me look at some practical things that all of us, as parents, need to have in place. Specifically: a will, and life insurance. Years ago, when we had our last baby, one of Chris's clients — who happened to be an attorney — kind of nudged us to ask, “Hey, if something ever happened to you guys, who would raise your kids? Do you have a plan for that?” We didn't, so we sat with it and decided it was too important to put off. So, I'm sharing some of that thought process today. Who did we pick? What kinds of questions did we ask ourselves? And, honestly — I'd encourage you to do the same. It's one of the most caring, responsible things we can do for our kids. And the other thing I want to talk about is life insurance. That was something that really shifted for me as we were having babies. Back then, Chris had just gotten a policy, and I thought, “That's great. That's one box checked.” But then our agent asked if we'd thought about me too. Even though I wasn't working much at the time, he explained that if something happened to me, someone would need to help with the kids, house, all of it. Plus, we'd need the space to grieve without worrying about finances. That really stayed with me — because it's not just about income, it's about protecting your family's time together too. So if you don't have a will or you haven't updated yours in a while, or if you don't have life insurance, I just want to gently encourage you to make some time to do that. It's not fun to talk about. Trust me, I get it. But it really is an important part of being an intentional family. And I'll leave you with one last story that kind of caught me off guard… The other day after one of Ivy's softball games, we were driving home and I saw this random basketball on the side of the road. I told Tanner to pull over so I could go grab it — I'm forever rescuing random stuff on the roadside lol — and when I picked it up, I flipped it over and saw the name “Smith” written on it in kid handwriting. It was our basketball that we hadn't seen in probably a year and a half. How it ended up two towns over, on the side of the road where I happened to drive past it? I have no idea. And I just felt this really sweet, gentle reminder that God sees us. That even when life feels heavy or uncertain, we're not alone. So that's my encouragement for you this week — you're seen, you're loved, and you're not forgotten. P.S. Hug your babies a little tighter tonight.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode 634, And It's About Financial Red Flags Your Construction Company Can't Afford To Ignore As a construction bookkeeper, I've had a unique vantage point, watching countless projects unfold from the first bid to the final payment. While the hammers and blueprints are the visible signs of progress, it's the numbers behind the scenes that truly tell the story of a company's health. And let me tell you, those numbers often whisper warnings before they start screaming. Small business owners in the construction industry are incredibly busy. You're juggling bids, managing crews, dealing with permits, and ensuring client satisfaction. It's easy for subtle financial warning signs – what I call "red flags" – to get overlooked until they become critical problems. However, ignoring these signals can lead to severe cash flow issues, stalled growth, and even business failure. Based on what I've observed, here are five common financial red flags that you absolutely cannot afford to ignore, along with practical steps you can take to address them. Red Flag #1: Constant Cash Flow Crises Despite "Profitable" Projects This is the most puzzling red flag for many owners. You look at your profit and loss statement, and it shows a healthy profit. Yet, your bank account is always running on fumes. You're constantly chasing payments, delaying supplier invoices, or juggling funds to make payroll. Why it's a problem: Profit is a theoretical measure of what you've earned over a period; cash flow is the actual money moving in and out of your business. In construction, where you often incur significant costs upfront (materials, labor for the first phase) and payments come in installments (often with retainage held back), it's entirely possible to be profitable on paper but cash-poor in reality. This constant stress impacts your ability to take on new projects, negotiate better deals, and even pay your team on time, leading to low morale. How to fix it: Implement Robust Progress Billing: Don't wait until a project is 50% or 100% complete. Structure your contracts to allow for regular progress payments tied to specific milestones (e.g., foundation poured, framing complete, rough-ins finished). This ensures a steady stream of cash. Aggressive Accounts Receivable (A/R) Management: Send invoices promptly as soon as milestones are met. Have a polite but firm follow-up process for overdue invoices. Don't be afraid to make phone calls. Negotiate Favorable Payment Terms with Suppliers and Subcontractors: While you want to pay your bills on time, try to secure longer payment terms (e.g., Net 30 or Net 45) from your vendors whenever possible. This helps you collect from your clients before your payments are due. Manage Retainage Proactively: Thoroughly understand the retainage clauses in your contract. Track how much retainage is outstanding for each project and aggressively pursue its release as soon as the contractual conditions are met. This money is yours; get it! Build a Cash Reserve: Even a small percentage of profit set aside each month into a dedicated savings account can create a vital buffer for lean times. Aim for 3-6 months of operating expenses. Red Flag #2: Consistently Inaccurate Project Estimates (Leading to Underbidding) Do you frequently find projects ending up significantly over budget, eating into your expected profit margins, or even becoming a loss? Do you often need to inform clients about additional costs? This points directly to issues with your initial estimating process. Why it's a problem: Inaccurate estimates mean you're consistently underbidding, leaving money on the table, or worse, taking on jobs that will inevitably lose you money. This directly impacts your profitability and, by extension, your cash flow, as you're funding the gap with either the cash from other projects or your capital. It also damages client trust when costs unexpectedly balloon. How to fix it: Implement Detailed Job Costing: This is a non-negotiable requirement. For every project, meticulously track all expenses, including labor hours (with specific tasks), material quantities and costs, subcontractor invoices, equipment rentals, permit fees, and miscellaneous expenses. Learn from Past Projects: Conduct a post-mortem analysis after each project. Compare your actual costs to your estimated costs. Where were the discrepancies? Was it materials? Labor hours? Unexpected site conditions? Use these insights to refine your estimating formulas. Categorize and Standardize: Develop a comprehensive system of cost codes for materials, labor types, and activities to ensure accurate and consistent tracking of costs. This consistency makes it easier to track and compare data across projects. Build in Contingency: Always include a contingency fund (typically 5-15% of the total project cost) in your estimates for unforeseen issues, changes in material prices, or minor scope creep. Use Estimating Software: Even simple estimating software can help streamline the process, ensure all line items are considered, and integrate with your accounting system. Red Flag #3: Uncontrolled Material Waste & Loss Are materials constantly going missing or getting damaged on site, or are you consistently buying more than what was initially estimated? This is a direct drain on your project's profitability and your company's cash. Why it's a problem: Every piece of wasted or lost material is money directly out of your pocket. It means you're paying more than you bid, leading to cost overruns. It can also cause project delays while you wait for replacements. How to fix it: Implement Strict Inventory Control: Secure Storage. Designate secure, organized storage areas on job sites for materials when not in use or overnight. Material Tracking System: For larger projects, consider a simple log or spreadsheet to track materials received and used. Regular Site Cleanliness: A clean, organized job site naturally leads to less waste and makes it easier to spot missing items. Careful Material Handling: Train your crew on proper handling and storage techniques for various materials to minimize damage and ensure optimal safety. Accurate Take-offs: Ensure your initial material take-offs (the process of determining the quantities of materials needed) are precise to avoid over-ordering or multiple trips to the supplier. Return Unused Materials: Establish a process for returning unused, undamaged materials to suppliers for credit, where possible. Red Flag #4: Inefficient Labor Utilization & Unaccounted Time Labor is often the most significant cost for a construction company. Suppose your crews are standing around, waiting for materials, traveling excessively between job sites without proper tracking, or simply not as productive as they could be. In that case, your labor costs are likely to be increasing significantly. Why it's a problem: Every idle hour or misspent minute costs you money. Inefficient labor directly reduces your profit margins and can cause projects to fall behind schedule, leading to client dissatisfaction and potential penalty clauses. Unaccounted time can also lead to compliance issues with wage and hour laws. How to fix it: Accurate Time Tracking: Implement a robust system for tracking employee time. This could include mobile apps with GPS features, biometric time clocks, or even detailed paper timesheets, as long as they are managed in a meticulous manner. Ensure all hours (including travel, breaks, and specific tasks) are accurately recorded. Optimize Scheduling & Workflow: Plan daily tasks meticulously. Ensure materials, equipment, and instructions are ready before the crew arrives. Minimize downtime from waiting or searching for tools. Cross-Training: Train your crew members on various tasks. This provides flexibility and prevents delays if one skilled worker is absent or busy elsewhere. Daily Huddles/Toolbox Talks: Begin each day with a brief meeting to review tasks, identify potential roadblocks, and ensure everyone is aware of their role. Regular Performance Reviews: Identify bottlenecks or areas where productivity can be improved. Provide training or reassign tasks as needed. Red Flag #5: Lack of Financial Visibility & Untimely Reporting Are your financial reports always weeks or months behind? Do you rely on gut feeling more than actual numbers to make business decisions? Do you only look at your bank balance at the end of the month? This means you're flying blind. Why it's a problem: Without up-to-date and accurate financial information, you cannot make informed decisions. You won't spot cash flow issues, cost overruns, or unprofitable projects until it's too late. This lack of visibility prevents strategic planning and proactive problem-solving. How to fix it: Invest in Good Accounting Software: QuickBooks Desktop or Online, Foundation Software, or other industry-specific solutions are essential. They automate data entry, generate reports, and track job costs. Maintain Clean Books Consistently: Don't let your bookkeeping pile up. Enter invoices, payments, and expenses regularly, ideally on a daily or weekly basis. This provides a real-time picture. Review Key Reports Regularly: Cash Flow Statement - Review it weekly or bi-weekly to track where your money is going and coming from. Job Costing Reports: Review weekly to compare actual costs against your budget for each project. Accounts Receivable Aging Report: Review weekly to see who owes you money and for how long. Work Closely with Your Bookkeeper: A good construction bookkeeper isn't just a data entry specialist; they are your financial partner. They can provide valuable insights, flag potential issues, and help you understand your numbers, enabling you to make informed, profitable decisions. Identifying and addressing these financial red flags isn't about adding more burdens to your plate; it's about building a stronger, more resilient construction business. By taking proactive steps and staying on top of your numbers, you can turn those red flags into green lights for growth and lasting profitability. Don't let hidden financial issues undermine your hard work on the job site – empower yourself with clarity and control.

We've put together a list of 12 alternative but amazing uses for Vicks VapoRub. And we are pretty sure you've never heard of any of them! We all know Vicks VapoRub as our good friend and ally in fighting colds. Its main ingredients — camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus — help relieve a cough and nasal congestion. However, these are not the only benefits of the product. It also has some superpowers like relieving headaches and back pains, disciplining your pet and even reducing belly fat! TIMESTAMPS Works as an insect repellent 0:35 Relieves headaches 1:15 Takes good care of your feet 1:41 Prevents pet incidents 2:19 Stops your cat from ruining your furniture 2:49 Reduces stretch marks 3:18 Treats toenail fungus 3:45 Helps you get rid of bruises 4:13 Relieves earache 4:35 Brings noticeable results on your face 5:01 Relieves muscle and back pain 5:25 Helps get rid of belly fat 5:56 Recommendations before you use Vicks VapoRubs 6:35 #vaporub #vicks #bellyfat SUMMARY Follow some general recommendations before you use Vicks VapoRubs: • Just like any other product that is used on the skin, Vicks VapoRub must be tested on your skin before you use it. To see if you have an allergic reaction, put some Vicks on the back of your hand and watch for a while. If you notice burning, redness, or any other symptoms, don't use it at all. • The product shouldn't be used on children under two as it can adversely affect the respiratory tract. • If you have doubts, always consult your doctor before using. Vicks VapoRub can help you to relieve it. Menthol, one of its main ingredients, helps lower blood pressure in your head and, as a result, relieves pain. Rub some Vicks VapoRub on your stretch marks, and in just two weeks you will see that they gradually become less visible. If you suffer from toenail fungus, try applying some Vicks to the affected nail every night and then put your socks on. The next day, wash your feet and clip off as much infected nail as possible. If it happens to you, gently rub some Vicks VapoRub on your bruise, and observe the healing process. The ointment will reduce all the swelling, and the bruise itself will disappear faster. Vicks can help you get rid of belly fat! Mix one tablespoon of crushed tablet camphor, one tablespoon of alcohol, one tablespoon of baking soda, and half a jar of Vicks VapoRub until you get a paste. Before doing your physical exercises, apply this paste to your abdomen or to the area that you plan to work on, and wrap yourself with plastic wrap. When you finish your workout, rinse with plenty of water.

No matter how experienced we may be in terms of prayer and ministry, it is always a great source of joy when God moves in unmistakable ways. There is nothing quite like the sense of awe and astonishment we get when He comes in His beauty! Last Sunday, I was due to give a talk at church based around 2 Corinthians 10. I had worked hard to prepare it and focused particularly on the theme of demolishing strongholds. I also invited Sally Mowbray to come and lead the worship from the piano. The very moment Sally started playing, we became aware of a deep sense of the Lord's presence, and a great freedom in the Spirit. We had planned three songs before the talk, but no one wanted to stop worshipping. I couldn't help wondering whether starting my talk would bring us back down to earth rather than allowing us to stay in this precious place before the throne of God. I had asked a few friends to pray for the meeting, and couple of them had messaged me beforehand to say that the Lord wanted me to speak from the heart. And that is just what happened! Instead of the somewhat formal talk I had prepared, I began to call on the Lord in an extended and impromptu prayer that covered many of the themes I had planned to speak on. I love how God meets with us unexpectedly! Our pastor told me that the Lord touched his knee during the evening, which meant he was able to play football during an outreach evening with local children. It reminded me of how the Lord healed someone of a long-standing ear problem while we were praying against the spread of Islam in this country many years ago. As we seek Him, He ministers to our needs! Of course, I still have all the notes for the talk I planned to give, and I hope to share them on another occasion. But talks can be read anytime, while the presence of the Lord is of the moment – may you encounter Him today.

What if you could take the most chaotic thing in your life and turn it into something that actually creates peace in your home? This month in the Family Teams Accelerator, we're talking about how to use this one unexpected tool usually found in the most boring parts of a business, to turn chaos into clarity at home. That tool? Standar Operating Procedures (SOPs). This is how you train your kids to do what you want them to do. It's how you lead them into actually rising to the level of high expectations. It's how you take the chaos and uncertainty out of teaching them how to behave and how to perform the tasks you want them to perform. And it's way simpler than you think (otherwise there's no way we'd do it!). In this episode Jeremy sits down with Blake and Chandler Smith, next month's community coaches inside the Accelerator, to give you a taste of what's to come.

Welcome to episode 108 of Flying Magazine's I Learned About Flying From That podcast, featuring Jose Acevedo, a private pilot and military aircraft mechanic stationed at Travis Air Force Base, who holds high performance, complex, and commercial ratings despite a "circuitous route" to his private pilot ticket due to military deployments and training inconsistencies. Jose shares two critical "I Learned About Flying From That" incidents: the first involved a flight to Lake Tahoe in a TV20 Trinidad where he faced severe density altitude issues at the 6,200+ foot elevation airport on a hot day, resulting in an extremely close takeoff from an 8500-foot runway and teaching him the importance of better planning and avoiding "get-home-itis". The second incident, on a return flight from Monterey in a Piper Archer 3, saw him encounter an isolated, unexpected cloud covering his home airport (Oscar 88) as civil twilight ended, leading to a denied landing request at Travis Air Force Base and his subsequent decision to declare an emergency at a more complex airport, Concord. This experience taught him the vital lesson of being assertive with air traffic control for assistance, an act which, without FAA repercussions, even led to a change in standard operating procedures at Travis AFB allowing aero club aircraft to land there in emergencies. Host Rob Reider emphasizes that changing weather—whether winds, temperature, or clouds—is often the root of such stories, underscoring the necessity for pilots in command to be aware and make informed go/no-go decisions.

In this month's episode, Committee members Analysts Arielle Feger and Sara Lebow will defend their list against Senior Analyst Zak Stambor and Analyst Rachel Wolff, who will dispute the power rankings by attempting to move retailers up, down, on, or off the list.

When Rachel Shapiro's daughter suffered a severe stroke just before her second birthday, Rachel and her husband were told their child might not survive. Despite the devastating prognosis, they refused to give up, navigating a complex medical journey that transformed their family's life. Their daughter now lives with significant medical needs, requiring a tracheostomy and ventilator support, which initially seemed overwhelming to Rachel.What makes Rachel's story remarkable is her determination to maintain a full, vibrant life despite the intense caregiving responsibilities. Working full-time in marketing while managing her daughter's complex medical care, she and her husband have intentionally preserved their family's sense of normalcy. They continue to be active in their community, host events, and ensure their other children feel supported and engaged. Rachel's approach is characterized by a deep faith and a belief that their current circumstances serve a greater purpose.Her perspective on caregiving is both practical and inspirational. Rachel approaches challenges with low expectations and a remarkable ability to adapt, viewing unexpected changes as opportunities rather than obstacles. She emphasizes the importance of open communication with her spouse, maintaining their relationship through shared goals, and making time for self-care, such as occasional shopping trips or simply enjoying a quiet meal. Her story illustrates that while caregiving can be incredibly demanding, it doesn't have to consume or define one's entire existence.Thank you to our sponsor: CareScoutLearn more about Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver: https://www.confessionsofareluctantcaregiver.com/** Caregiver Action Network Caregiver Help Desk offers free support to family caregivers via phone, chat, or email Monday through Friday, 8:00 am - 7:00 pm Eastern.
