Mind of a Goddess

Join Me on May 6 to Celebrate National Nurses’ Day

On May 6, we pause to honor the heart, hands, and hope of nurses everywhere. Today, I choose to spotlight one phenomenal nurse whose compassion left an indelible mark on my life.

Nearly twenty years ago, I had the privilege of being cared for by a young intern, now a Registered Nurse, whose service went far beyond routine care. From taking vitals and managing medications to preparing meals and offering gentle custodial care, she served selflessly and skillfully. But what set her apart was her deep understanding of something far more powerful: the dignity and wholeness of every person, especially those living with disabilities.

She recognized that health is not just about treatment—it’s about living fully. She encouraged fresh air, faith, education, meeting new people, and staying curious about the world. Her work reminded me daily that healing happens in body, mind, and spirit.

As we approach May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday—the very foundation of modern nursing—I invite you to reflect on the nurses who’ve touched your life. Nurses are more than caregivers. They are beacons of light and earthly angels, restoring, supporting, and strengthening us in our most vulnerable moments.

This week, celebrate a nurse. Say thank you. Write a note. Share a story. Give them the recognition they so richly deserve.

I’ve worked with many incredible nurses over the years, and I share these powerful experiences in my memoir, The Invisible Child. I’d love for you to read it and journey with me through stories of resilience, compassion, and hope.
