Five Easy Ways to Solve the Aged Care Puzzle

IT’S TRICKY BEING PART OF THE SANDWICH GENERATION.

Why are we called that? It’s simple – we’re sandwiched between our kids who are possibly still finding their way and our parents who are possibly losing theirs.

When reading 5 Easy Ways to Solve the Aged Care Puzzle, stories may sound all too familiar. You may think I’m zeroing in on your family.

Trust me, I’m not, because my stories come from a variety of places around the globe in western civilisations.

It’s so important for you to realise that you’re not alone in this tricky transitional journey. Many of your friends and colleagues may also be perplexed with the issues of impending Aged Care for their loved ones.

Talk with them, talk with the type of professionals mentioned in this book and make the process easier. It doesn’t have to be hard. Talking can ease what you’re going through.

Imagine the process being easy, because you enlisted the help of professionals who do this every day and know all the tips and tricks of this ever-changing process.

Moving a loved one into Aged Care is not a Set and Forget process. It requires follow-up with the Aged Care Home staff, observation of changes, continuing to pay bills and shopping for incidentals, but your loved one will be safe.

And if you’ve been involved in full-time care for a loved one, you’ll possibly find that after 24/7 care is over, you may begin to remember the funnier moments.

Fergus Farringdon the Second: To Many Lands and Back Again

Fergus was a small cottage lad who had lived his whole life in The Hidden Gully. Unfortunately for Fergus, his most close family member passed. With this, unknown things began to take place. Winds, images and the hearing of silent words. With such events, these prompted Fergus to explore deeper, where he would discover something legendary. As all was evolving, Fergus was fortunate enough to discover many new lands and a few good folks.

Feed the Hike

In my life my hope is to encourage more people to get outside and experience nature and explore what this world really has to offer us other than what is in our immediate surroundings.

I would like to introduce to you all in this new book ‘Feed the Hike’, sustaining your hike with mind, body and diet.

Time spent in nature has been proven over and over to be the medicine we all need, the nutrients our bodies crave. It gives us mentally and physically the goodness that is essential to a healthy happy life, especially in this modern artificial fast paced world we now live in. The evidence of the health benefits have just been overwhelming and I also know through personal experience that yes Nature is the Nurture we need.

In my book I want to share some tips and ideas from my own experiences of many years with thousands and thousands of kilometres walked. You will also hear from well-seasoned hikers as they share with us their own tips and knowledge, perhaps helping to avoid making some silly mistakes, while letting us just focus more on making our journey a great one.

I have a guest writer and Physiotherapist, Damian Vance, he is sharing with us some of his knowledge on achieving and keeping your body in prime condition. Damian will also be giving us those important tips on what you can do on the trail if things go wrong.

You will find a chapter on Menu Planning and on what Equipment you might take with you on the trail as this can be daunting when planning a long hike.

There is also Trail Foods that I have personally tried and tested throughout my hiking life. With my ideas and recipes, I hope to help you avoid many of the prepacked foods and add more healthy choices into your menu planning for your journey. I also included a chapter about Dehydrating, this is something I am asked about a lot so I am excited to share my knowledge with you all.

The Capes

Guide book to walking Western Australia’s Cape to Cape Track.

*Companion to Michelle’s second title Feed the Hike.

About the Author

Time spent in nature has been proven over and over to be the medicine we all need, the nutrients our bodies crave. It gives us mentally and physically the goodness that is essential to a healthy happy life, especially in this modern artificial fast paced world we now live in.

Countless Universities studies have been done and proven the tremendous healthy effect that nature has on humans. Over time we have been evolving away from nature and entering this artificial world and this has been showing in the increase of health issues including obesity, depression, anxiety, allergies and so on. I am not saying that nature is the cure all, but I do believe that having time in nature is certainly beneficial to one’s health and should not be ignored.

The evidence of the health benefits have just been overwhelming and I also know through personal experience that yes Nature is the Nurture we need.

For some time now, I have been sharing many of my experiences of hiking and exploring through freelance writing for magazines, my Social Media pages, my Website and also expanded into having a YouTube channel. In 2017 I walked a trail in my homeland that has always held special feeling for me. Not completely sure why or even if I can explain the feelings to you but for me when I step on this trail I feel at home. I feel safe, comfortable, familiar like it is an old friend. It could be because I grew up in the area this trail was conceived and I did spend my childhood playing around the bushland it goes through, either way it is certainly a special one.

This trail I talk about is the Bibbulmun Track and it is just over 1000km long bush track that starts in my hometown of Kalamunda and ends at the bottom of Western Australia in the port city of Albany.

I decided after returning from hiking up through Norway that I really should hike the whole of this trail instead of just using it as a training ground. It started off as a hike for me that morphed into something else. It became a journey that I call of two sides and even though I still had my side to the journey with my own personal reasons there was the side of it I very much wanted to share with the world.

I opened up sections of my journey for people to come and walk a little with me having some wonderful people respond and join in. I also opened up my final day (day 54) and the last 20kms of hiking the trail for people to come along, walk and share the experience with me as well as donating to the Foundation that looks after and maintains this track. The response was just

outstanding and even today when I think back of all the people who showed up to support makes me tear up with joy.

The final part to this side of the walk was that I produced a documentary, Bibbulmun Journeys, to just be able to share this truly unique track with the world as well as give back to the track that means so much to me. It’s a film not only on the amazing track itself and its beauty but it is about the people who love it and care for it. This has been a journey like no other and one I have been so very proud of.

In my life my hope is to encourage more people to get outside and experience nature and explore what this world really has to offer us other than what is in our immediate surroundings.

Encounters with the Spirit World

Encounters with Spirit World contains many never-before-documented reports of peoples’ encounters with those who have left this life and gone to the next. Some of these accounts are inspirational and uplifting; some however are truly frightening.

What stops this book from being just another, ‘bump in the night’ , collection of ghost stories is that many of the encounters told within come from respected, professional members of the community: from doctors and police to lawyers and even an astronaut, their encounters are told here, many for the first time.
