All is well with my Zen Master and Zen Mum.  ♥️ Through the really tough days of COVID, we all came out the other side stronger and grateful for all blessings in our lives.  The hardships put everything into perspective, which is the inspiration for today's episode.  It's a hard subject to talk about but it needs to be done in order to bring peace in the final days.  ⁠
⁠
In this part 1 podcast episode of a 2 part series, we begin future planning for the final days.   Today's episode is kicking off the planning.⁠
