The Drama Queen With A Caring Heart (Dementia Story)


Here it is everyone,

Grab a coffee and a couple of Tim Tams as you prepare to listen to Linda Booth open her world to us. Linda simply ‘keeps things real…’.

Upon hearing the interview back I realized how many valuable tips and scenarios Linda actually mentioned.

Linda’s story has a ‘little bit of everything’ and in true Dutch style she refuses to ‘sugar-coat’ issues. I feel privileged to hear her talk about her thoughts and feelings at times of great stress. This interview has some nerves at the start and gets better and better with a very confronting final story.

So sit back and relax and get ready for

‘The Drama Queen with a Caring Heart’….Linda Booth

No-One Should Have No-One

Today the very ‘glamorous’ Linda Booth and Brett Partington presented at the Loneliness & Social Isolation Symposium at Morphettville Racecourse’s Phar Lap Room.

We both put ourselves out there once again with our ‘heart on our sleeve’ speaking styles. There was a big crowd of 160 very receptive people.

‘Blinged Up’ Linda Booth was the hit of the day with her generous offer to give out free hugs to everyone in the room. (with a gentle push from me and a very big cardboard sign)

Thanks to the very innovative and professional Judith Gooden for inviting us to present. It was a fabulous opportunity to promote the benefits of ‘Dementia Downunder’ and share our stories about dementia to reduce loneliness and social isolation.

Congratulations to all the other fabulous presenters who gave up their time to speak today.

Welcome to all the brand new members who have joined ‘DD’ today from the Symposium.

Overall – a great initiative from SA Collaborative Projects.

PS – Thank you Linda for allocating me to receive above the regulation amount of your famous hugs.
