A Calling That Blooms
Every calling begins with a single moment.
From my childhood in Barbuda to a lifetime of caring for others, A Calling That Blooms is the true story of faith, resilience, and the experience that shaped my calling and inspired a life of service.

More Than a Memoir—A Life of Purpose and Service
The loss of my father as a little girl in Barbuda became the beginning of a lifelong calling to care for others.
For more than 30 years, I have worked as a nurse, caregiver, and advocate. Learning that true care is rooted in dignity, presence, compassion, and trust.
A Calling That Blooms shares the journey that shaped my purpose.

“I just sat down and read the entire book and wow!!!! I had a smile on my face reading so many things I didn’t know. I’m now crying as I finished—the ending was really emotional and powerful. Such a beautiful piece of work.”
“I just read your fabulous book in one sitting because it was so riveting. I was totally inspired by it, and you wrote it in such an engaging way that I felt as if you were talking directly to me.”
Susan especially connected with these words from the book:
“Caregiving is not about control. It is about collaboration.”
“Calling does not always look like action. Sometimes it looks like presence.”
“Wherever you go, you bring dignity and love to those who know you. You are one of the only people who could call ‘Nancy’ when she crossed a boundary. It is my strong belief that she wouldn’t have lived as long as she did without you.”
Caregiver Education
For more than 30 years, I have learned that caregiving is about more than completing tasks. It is about understanding the individual, building trust, protecting dignity, and being fully present.
Through caregiver education, I will share practical lessons from decades of hands-on experience to help families and caregivers provide safer, more compassionate, and more confident care.
