I like to talk a lot about building social fabric, relationships and trust. Now I’ll be directly experiencing it, with the “Chewbaka Project.”
Turns out my 80 year old grandmother needs fulltime care, and will be moving in with me now.
Here’s my chance to really flex my creative muscles, and figure out how continue to build the foundations of my career and life while dealing with this new challenge.
I’m determined to continue spreading the messages of a new cooperative economy and world, to educate and inform others of the tools and resources available to us, and to be inspired to keep bringing forth more love and light.
And I might be asking for some help. 🙂

Thank you for sharing, Venessa.
I provided various levels of care for my mother and grandfather as they “slowed down” (that seems to be an apt description) — and also served as a hospice volunteer — and those were among the most powerful, meaningful times of my life.
This may be a curve ball … or it may be just the right thing. Caring for an elder (or an infant, for that matter) isn’t easy, but it does expands the sense of self.
That’s so sweet. Lovely way of facing things, Venessa!
oh my.
absolutely lovely.
thank you for sharing/posting.

Looks like a wonderful arrangement for both of you! I hope we’ll be seeing more of Baka. You’ll certainly be getting some good food from the sound of things. Your grandma has the same birthday as my sister, BTW.
Kako si? 🙂
The hardest thing for Baka will be the close-knit Croatian community she probably left behind in Cleveland. Don’t forget about her network–time to get Baka’s friends on Skype!
Wishing you and Baka the best.
You and your grandmother are graceful and accepting. I always look forward to your sharings and find you such an inspiration.

You are incredible! What a cute video 🙂 I wish you all the best! LOTS of strenght to you!
