Dancing With Dementia has a release date!
March 31, 2020.
About 2 months away … so cue the freak out!
This book has been a labour of love for the last few years. The majority of the book is the story our journey. The collection of stories should make you laugh, sigh, shake your head, and blink back a few tears.
The latter part of the book includes lists for people who have someone with dementia in their lives. There are lists of early warning signs we’ve seen, tips to redirect and reassure those with dementia, ideas to ease communication, tips on how to make the move to a nursing home or other living situation, and tips to take care of the caregiver.
Dementia is NOT an easy disease. It’s horrific and cruel. We’ve managed to keep our Mom mostly happy and content. She's still laughing, still dancing. We hope our story will help others who are in the first steps of this dance with Dementia.
If you are interested in an ARC, please let me know (in the comments, email, or sign up for the newsletter).
The wonderful Mason Canyon (MC Book Tours) is going to help me out by hosting a blog tour for the release. If you are interested, you can sign up HERE.
My website is now active.
I've set up another blog to discuss more things dementia related.
I also have a YouTube Channel devoted to Quick Tips based on ideas in the book.
So, that's the news! If you know anyone who might benefit from the book or tips, I hope you'll let them know. Thanks!!

That book will help a lot of people. I'm featuring you on April 1.
I sure hope so!! Thanks so much Alex - you're the best!
I'm doing an announcement for you. My aunt died from dementia.
Thanks so much, Diane!
So sorry about your aunt - it is a truly hideous disease!!
Anything you need, Jemi. Email me, please. And I'm queuing up for that ARC.
There have definitely been tears (and smiles of rueful recognition) as I start reading. Which is not a bad thing since tears are one way to release excess toxins.
An email will be winging your way very soon, Damyanti - thanks my friend!
Yes - there were more than a few of those tears & toxins released as I wrote it, too! Thanks again for being an early reader!!
Thanks so much!!! :)
Jemi, I'm honored to help you promote your book. It's amazing and inspiring. It should be a MUST READ for anyone who hasn't or is just now having to deal with that terrible disease and for those who have had to deal with it, it will be a comfort to know others have gone through the same or similar problems they had to face.
Congrats, Jemi! So excited for you. I'd be glad to shout out about your book on Followers News.
Thanks so much, Natalie - that would be awesome!
Thank you so much Mason - I'm so glad you're finding it helpful!!
Congratulations on this Jemi. Dementia is the most debilitating disease and I think most of us know someone who is or has been thus afflicted.
Oh, and of course I'd love to help you promote. Let me know how best to do so.
Yay for the upcoming release! I'd be happy to review an ARC.
Thanks so much, Yvonne!
Yes! It's so common and increasing daily. It's a sad and horrific disease
Thanks Ellen! A copy is heading your way! :)
Congrats on your upcoming release. Dementia is something that touches so many of our lives- and it can be so hard to deal with. I have told a close friend about your blog and hope she will stop by and read it, as she is struggling with her own mother's dementia. Best of luck!

Thanks so much, Jess. I hope she finds something worthwhile. Dementia is a nasty disease and we need to help each other!
Congrats Jemi. I'm so thrilled for you!
My mom is 90 years young and she now has moments of forgetfulness... but she's such a strong individual.
I think that Dementia is a condition that will eventually affect every person's life, directly or indirectly.
Thanks Michelle!
Your mom sounds amazing!!! That is awesome.
Dementia sure is pervasive in this world of ours.
Congratulations on your release! Already signed up for the tour, can't wait to read your book!
Thanks so much!! :)
Look forward to read your journey
How very exciting, Jemi! Your book sounds very important.
Hugs to you and your family. <3
Congratulations! An important topic . Your book will help many caregivers and loved ones.
Thanks Dawn! It's a hideous disease - we're glad Mom remains content and loves to show her silly side!
I hope so! Thank you!
Hey if you want to do a guest post on my blog let me know! I'm happy to host!
Happy to host Jemi! Awesome on your book.
WOW, Jemi! Congrats! You made it happen! You should be so proud of yourself. Wishing you all the best with your tour. I hope to help out, but I need to pull myself together after my slight bout with skin cancer. Ugh. Not fun, but still recovering, I hope to be pulled together by then..,
Thanks so much, Marcy!! I'll send your email to Mason - she'll be in touch!
Thank you!!! I'm excited!
Oh no! I didn't know about the skin cancer situation! That's so scary and I don't know if 'slight' and 'cancer' belong in the same sentence. I hope you're taking good care of you. Healing and getting yourself together is the #1 priority. Take care and know I'm thinking of you and sending healing vibes!
Congrats! I love that you have made something positive out of something that can be so devastating.
Thanks, Nick. It is a horrid and devastating disease, but Mom continues to be content and we hope that continues!
Did you realize there's a 12 word sentence you can tell your crush... that will induce deep feelings of love and impulsive attraction to you buried inside his heart?
Because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's impulse to love, idolize and protect you with all his heart...
12 Words Will Fuel A Man's Love Instinct
This impulse is so hardwired into a man's genetics that it will drive him to try better than ever before to build your relationship stronger.
Matter-of-fact, fueling this all-powerful impulse is so binding to getting the best possible relationship with your man that once you send your man one of these "Secret Signals"...
...You'll immediately notice him expose his mind and heart to you in such a way he's never expressed before and he'll identify you as the only woman in the world who has ever truly tempted him.
