Each of us has experienced the challenge of surrendering control, whether willingly or unwillingly, gracefully or grudgingly, with resignation or resentment. Thankfully, the choice eventually to surrender willingly and gracefully in peaceful resignation is within our power. CareNotes author, Diane Pharo, SCN, offers ways to sustain our inner being with sections titled, “Living life with resilience,” “Cultivating a hopeful attitude,” “Living gracefully,” “Exploring creativity,” “Practicing gratitude,” “Mindful breathing,” and “Staying close.”

CareNotes are written for people dealing with intensely emotional situations who are looking for concise easy-to-read guidance and support. That’s why these support booklets have been designed with smaller, more manageable sections.

CareNotes, a ministry of Saint Meinrad Archabbey, are concise 5×7 booklets written to provide uplifting guidance to those who are hurting. These wellness-oriented booklets address real-life emotional, physical and spiritual needs with topics that include grief, aging, healthcare, mental wellness, family care, spiritual support and more. Whether you are dealing with difficult emotions or you minister to someone who is, you’re sure to find the topic that applies directly to your situation. The down-to-earth style of each CareNote offers relatable advice to help you heal – mind, body and spirit.

All CareNotes proceeds support the prayer and work of the monks of Saint Meinrad Archabbey. Learn more about our mission at www.saintmeinrad.org.
