A Creed For Caregivers

Posted by bigjoek (Joe Kralicek) @bigjoek, Apr 13 2:27pm

I am a gifted writer (meaning I have no talent for it, it just comes to me)
One of the subjects I wrote on was the caregiver.
Feel free to share with other caregivers!
You are appreciated!!

@zoesmom
Thank you again! I truly believe that one of the many reasons my life was spared, and I was given this amazing second chance at life was because God had greater plans for me. I had no idea at the younger age of 35, I would begin on a path to touch lives across the world, by simply sharing a gift He gave me. I cannot and will not take credit for the writings I've penned, simply because that is the gift He gave me, and I believe I am doing what He intended me to.
I just am hoping to be able to publish another book (or it may take two) for the 250+ poems I've penned since the book first came out. I am going to have to self publish, and with ADD... lol it's a little overwhelming! God will guide me in my path.
I am thrilled you are happy with the poems! I hope all who read will find something of value in their own lives.
Peace and
God Bless

I believe you are on the right path to get published. I pray that our God will open that road or highway for you. What you bring forth in your writing is so touching to ones core...such a gift to others! Thank you Joe for sharing your gifts with so many especially us with Arachnoiditis!

I have been published once, but the publisher retired and closed shop... awwww
I have to print out, and sort over 250 poems then make chapter pages, and put all that into a digital format again... lol it's a wee bit overwhelming. I know I could break it down into two books, even three, but it's the same work! One day I will just hunker down and start this project, and hope that it will take off!
I know bookstores won't carry, from experience, but I'll find a way!

Peace
God Bless

Joe thank you again for sharing your gifts to all of us. You help others keep going with the pain we live with. I pray you keep giving a voice to our pain for healing to occur. I pray some physicians are touched by the greatest healer to find answers for our pain. Hugs and prayers from Zoes mom

Hugs again. I'm on ice today and increased meds to get through my every other day increase in pain. I pray for healing for this horrible disease and the one my husband has. I am grateful that I have this and not anyone else in my family. Was just not expecting my husband to get what he got. God is always at our side no matter what we get. Will try to settle this pain today. Blessings and prayers to you. Zoes mom

Greetings Zebra!
Thank you so very much for purchasing the book!! Since that book was published, I've penned just over 250 more poems! I do have a page on Facebook that is dedicated to my inspirational poetry! I'll see if I can post the link to that. I do sell signed frame ready copies of all my poetry works.
How old will your son be? I have another poem for parents of older children, plus one written for grandparents. I like your idea for the birthday card! I once was offered a chance to sell some of my work to a greeting card company. They would pay be a whopping $25.00 for unlimited use of my works. I politely declined, telling them I could give it away for free... I would be happy to create a post with just poems in it if you wish to send me a note with your suggestions. That way I can see if I have them typeset, and printed/scanned, or if I need to do so.
My question to you is 1) did you leave a review?? and 2) did you need tissue??
thank you for reaching out, when people do, it means the world to me! and....www.facebook.com/JoeKralicekpoetry
Thank you
God Bless
Peace
Joe

Thank you so much for your poetry Joe! After reading your two poems, I plan to follow you on Facebook & to purchase your book. As a caregiver/loved one to my husband with Lewy Body Dementia (4 years), the poems really resonated with me. I need these kinds of affirmations very badly. Again, thank you for sharing.

I'm thrilled my poetry work has helped in your journey! I did recently write a piece for those suffering from dementia, and Alzheimers. I can post it again if you wish, or you might be able to find it in the threads. I am hoping and praying I can self publish (never have before) another book or two (or three at this rate) that would share all 300+ poems I've penned.
Right now I'm at a stalemate with my ADD and organizational skills... lol
God bless you in your role as a caregiver. He blessed me with an amazing wife of near 41 years, and she has taken me through so many different setbacks, NONE of which were liver transplant related!!
Let me know if you wish me to post that poem again, or you prefer to search it.
Peace
God Bless

Faith is the foundation for all. If we lose faith, we lose everything worth having. Healing comes from faith. Prayers for you, and your husband, and family. I can't even imagine what you go through on a daily basis....
Keep the faith strong!!
Peace
God Bless
