"I can hold on to this memory, while my mom holds onto the locket, when her memory no longer allows."

"For my mom. Dementia is a cruel diagnosis. The shock, grief, denial, roller coaster of emotions truly feels like more than one could handle. My mom is early in her disease, which does not mean easier, but this picture, this was a day that we set it aside. While visiting from out of state, I did her make-up (while recording it, of course), and we laughed and joked about my (lack of) ability,…

Lockets: A Universal Healer and the Genesis of The Locket Sisters

Have I ever told you about the moment The Locket Sisters was born? Or perhaps conceived is a better word? I think of it often this time of year because it's related to this season we're in, and entering, of “back to school” and the milestones and separations and new beginnings held within. Let me share it with you now. Almost exactly five years ago my then-three-year-old daughter, Penny, star…
