Praise for Maryann's Message

"I am touched and inspired by Maryann Schacht's insightful and compassionate presentation on the dynamics of being a caregiver. Her personal stories, coupled with her ability to cull tools for coping for others is amazing. Her message distills into two powerful teachings: One, to be gentle with yourself and trust your own process, in the midst of taking care of a loved one and the other, life is precious and rich, don't waste a moment on issues that don't matter, follow the path with heart, and live in the present as fully as you can."
