We will go live on this page at 8am EST, Saturday 12/6.

I used to think the hardest part of the mountain was the climb. But the truth is, it is the weight: Fatigue becomes familiar. Frustration simmers beneath the surface. Discouragement whispers that we are falling short while giving everything we have. There comes a moment when we realize we cannot keep climbing without release. That is where the Sherpa Method begins. There are four touchstones that mark the climb and transform shepherds into sherpas. At each touchstone we set something down so we can carry what matters most. Alignment — Energy protection. Ask: Where am I out of step? Impact — Credibility. Ask: What are my boundaries? Integrity — Truth. Ask: Which emotion do I most often hide: grief, sadness, anger, frustration, or disappointment? Renewal — Perspective and steadiness. Ask: Where am I most weary: mind, body, or spirit? I have built this space for your reflections to live. It is for grandparents who said yes when life changed direction, because no one was meant to climb alone. ⛰️

Your Emotional Closet Workbook is available here

You’ve just stepped onto the front porch of Lazlo’s Heart, a trusted space for grandparents raising grandchildren and kinship families. This community exists so we don’t have to walk this path alone. Here you will find authentic stories, shared wisdom and practical strategies that strengthen both children and caregivers. We want every member to feel safe here. That means a few simple but important commitments: - Respect - Every voice matters. We listen without judgment and treat each other with dignity. - Confidentiality - What is shared here stays here. Trust is built when we know our words are safe. - Encouragement - We speak to lift, not to tear down. Honest support helps us all move forward. Each day you’ll find a thought-provoking post to pause, reflect and journal on. There will also be events, some free and some with a small fee, where we can learn and grow together. You are welcome here. Pull up a chair, share your story and know that in Lazlo’s Heart you are supported, encouraged and part of something that builds legacy for generations to come. Please introduce yourself!
