The Runner Who Never Ran

In her workbook reflections edition, The Runner Who Never Ran, Karen Swasey expresses her belief that one should value their roots and the foundation of their heritage. She takes us on a journey through the stories of her life and teaches us that we should embrace our own journey..
"Focus on the perseverance of finding the "good" or learning experiences in your journey no matter what trail you are on. Embrace the gift of faith in those small whispers in your ear from your... angels." - Karen Swasey
This book will help you learn to take risks, to be first in reaching out of the box, and to explore possibilities even if they fail. When it comes to working with our senior communities and those in assisted living, Karen describes how she and her staff members utilized an Occupation Therapy approach by considering peoples abilities as a primary focus of care.

Her stories are heartwarming but each carries a lesson that will lead you to explore ways to improve your life and interaction with your family, and improve the life of those you work with or for.

With a background of more than 30 years in the field of Assisted Living, Karen has learned the importance of the gift of renewal when actively being involved in your community or program to help others achieve joy.
While this workbook will be extremely helpful to anyone in the field of Assisted Living or considering a position in the field, it is simply a warm and wonderful book filled with great stories, wit, and wisdom for any reader.
