You might be wondering what qualifies me, the living center, or anyone for that matter, to tell you how to live your life – and to that I say, we aren’t. We are neither qualified nor are we trying to tell anyone how to live, rather we bring all of ourselves into each encounter and recognize that the person going through a challenge is the only one responsible for their growth, success or learnings. Of course we lean on the love, support and compassion of others during our times of need – that is what community is all about. But what we have learned is that it is important to feel the feelings, to be in the moment – even if the moment is hard, because we each have our own strength to bring joy and love back into our life.

Often we do not know what we are capable of doing, because we too often focus on the cure instead of on the healing. We here at the Parkville Living Center wish to be the support you need when you or someone you love is going through something challenging. Our vision is that by walking along side people, through thick and thin, (but always with love) we all gain from that experience. If we, or anyone, were to simply direct our troubles away, how equipped would we be to handle future challenges? How equipped will we be to help others? As we encounter more people and more challenges we ALL become more equipped to grow towards community and love – and that is our goal.

We would love to meet with you and talk, or walk with you through today and tomorrows challenges, so we grow together in love and support and recognition of our own and our communities strengths, talents and passions. Please consider reaching out to the PLC, either in a time of need or when you can walk with others through their time of need – let us be in community.
