People ask if I worry about Alzheimer’s after watching two generations of women in my family live—and die—with it.
My honest answer: I’m mindful, but I don’t live in fear .
I know my risk. I stay informed. I focus on what I can control: sleep, stress, movement, nutrition, connection, and purpose.
None are guarantees—but they give us agency.
Science is moving. Hope isn’t wishful thinking—it’s a strategy.
That’s part of why I created @LeezasCareCafe : a place for answers, community, and support when worry becomes reality.
If you’re navigating Alzheimer’s, dementia, or caregiving, please reach out. You don’t have to do it alone.

For many of our older guests—especially those living with Alzheimer’s or caring for a loved one—this night is more than a party. It’s a chance to be celebrated, seen, and embraced by community. ❤️

Think about how you want to be as an older version of yourself. I want to be like Will. I met him in Dallas where he lives at Presbyterian Village North. He told me he used to be a good dancer "because his mom made him go to Cotillion ". He said he could show me, and just like that, he did! Today, Will likely doesn't remember me, but we had a shared moment in time. That's pretty much what life is anyway...a series of moments all strung together. Thanks for the dance Will, and for the the reminder that the secret to life is to focus on what's left, not what's lost. #fearlessaging #celebratingseniors #memories #dancepartners #JayAllen
"Sometimes talking to your sister is all the therapy you need; sometimes after talking to your sister, you need therapy !" Cam, you know I love you!! #sisters
One of the highlights of the year for me is hosting the @RoseParade with this guy, #marksteines . It's a fun gig to start off the new year. Have a great one! #2025 #RoseParade
If you show me you don't care, I'll show you I'm better at it. Not one ounce of my self esteem depends on your acceptance of me. What do you think? Convincing? #boundaries
It was a super fun and memorable Women's Wellness Weekend to benefit the extraordinary work of @womensalz ! Thank you @mariashriver for challenging us to pay attention to our brain/emotional/spiritual/sexual health! @MontageLosCabos and #MaravillaLosCabos were magical!
He had the American flag draped over his casket as we laid him to rest two days ago. Daddy was a proud veteran and when TAPS was played at his service, the Military honors were bestowed upon him, and the flag was folded and handed to my brother, it was deeply emotional. Today we thank, honor and respect all those who serve and served. We need to continue to be "a grateful nation". #veterans #agratefulnation🇺🇸
