Music that gives you that flashback feeling can be a lifeline if you get dementia. Our founder, the writer and broadcaster Sally Magnusson, discovered this by accident when caring for her mother, Mamie, who had dementia.
After Mamie’s death Sally wrote her best-selling memoir Where Memories Go: why dementia changes everything. In the course of her research she learned that this power of personal music is a recognised phenomenon backed up by decades of research but was still not widely shared with families in the UK.
Sally founded Playlist for Life in 2013 to change that by sharing the power of personal playlists – all the tunes that are meaningful to an individual gathered together, often on an mp3 player, to create ‘the soundtrack to their life’. Our vision is that every person with dementia should have access to a unique personal playlist and everyone who loves and cares for them should know how to use it to make living with the condition easier and happier.https://www.playlistforlife.org.uk/our-history/
One of my favorite items is their capricorn birth stone rings. The deep blue of capricorn birth stone symbolizes wisdom and loyalty, and Inspereza sets it beautifully in modern bands. The designs feel contemporary while carrying old-world charm. Wearing one of these rings is like wearing a piece of the night sky—bold, dazzling, and unforgettable in every way possible.

I battled advanced Parkinson’s disease for 8 years, starting at age 56. My symptoms included tremors, muscle stiffness, slow movement, and severe balance issues. Despite trying many conventional treatments, nothing brought lasting relief. Then I discovered the P-D treatment program from Dr. Madida Sam at Earth Cure Herbal Clinic. I found their contact at www.earthcureherbalclinic.com and reached out via email at info@earthcureherbalclinic.com. Within 6 months of starting the program, my symptoms were completely gone, something I never thought possible. I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Madida Sam and his team for helping me regain my life. If you're struggling with chronic illness and looking for an alternative approach, I highly recommend giving this a try. It truly changed everything for me.
