Family Trust: A Vault of Goodwill

"Think of Trust as residing in a kind of Vault… Let’s call it a “Vault of Goodwill.” Like any Vault, individuals can make deposits or withdrawals. There is no such thing as an overdraft when it comes to Trust and the “Vault of Goodwill.” Once the Vault is empty and in overdraft, there is no replenishing Trust. At that point Trust is broken and beyond repair."

Household Managers of the Sea: An Interview with a Chief Stewardess

"There are words that have the ability to evoke images and sounds. The name Natasha is such a word. That final syllable – that “shah” sound – is a gentle breeze filling the sails of a sea-faring vessel. “Shaaaahhh...” and I can visualize the sailcloth filling with the warm, salty air of the Mediterranean. I hear the sound, and, in my mind’s eye, I watch the sails, and I feel the movement of the vessel as it takes me from one exotic destination to another."

Interview with a Caregiver

"I met 'C' about a decade ago. He came to the office I was working in at the time with a charming lady for whom he was caregiving. There are a things that remain with me from our meeting. The first is I was struck by a male working in a field usually thought of as one intended for women. C was a man providing caregiving for a woman. The dynamic almost invites challenges, questions, and obstacles. It is one of the horrible myths of our culture that men are not thought of as caring."
