Photos and Attendee Quotes from our
Pink Cloud Moments Journal Events

“I first bought the caregiver journal and later passed it on to a family member who was walking through a difficult caregiving season. I loved attending the journal event at Red Stick Reads and hearing Peggy, Katherine, and Jackie share the inspiring stories behind these journals. I even treated myself to an Angel Journal that evening. It was such a meaningful and uplifting experience.” – Barbara

“The Pink Cloud Moments journal event was deeply meaningful for me. Peggy’s guided journaling opened up emotions I didn’t realize I was still carrying after my Dad’s passing three years ago. I’m especially drawn to her idea of honoring the small, providential “Pink Cloud Moments” that show up during the hardest parts of caregiving. She has a way of bringing light and hope into a time that can feel overwhelming for families, and I’m thankful for the space she creates.”

“It was a lovely evening at Cavalier House Book Store. I enjoyed hearing Jackie and Katherine’s stories. Peggy, you are truly a star. I admire your courage and dedication. You’ve taken your gifts – acting, podcasting, and writing and run with them in such an inspiring way. I finally started writing in my Pink Cloud Moments Angel journal. It’s guiding my thoughts, helping me open my heart, and reminding me how healing journaling can be. Thank you for creating a Sacred Journal that makes it easy to reflect and be vulnerable.” – Lisa

 

Caregiving Support Group - Pink Cloud Moments Journal Workshops

Peggy and Jackie Begue are available to facilitate Pink Cloud Moments Journal Workshops for caregiver support groups, churches, and community organizations. These uplifting sessions create a heartfelt space for reflection, gratitude, and connection. Using the Pink Cloud Moments – A Sacred Space Journal for Caregivers, participants will explore self-care, gratitude, and finding their pink cloud moments of grace and hope through writing prompts and art projects.

In addition, Peggy is also available to speak about her bittersweet journey of moving home to Louisiana after her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, offering inspiration and hope to others walking a similar path.

Caregiving Support Workshop Endorsement

“Our new caregiver support group at Saints Peter and Paul Church was blessed to have Peggy Sweeney-McDonald and Jackie Begue join us for our kickoff session. Their compassion, creative energy, and heartfelt guidance through the Pink Cloud Moments journal brought both comfort and inspiration to our caregivers. Peggy’s personal story and message of faith and hope reminded us that we are never alone on this journey. She showed us that even in the hardest of seasons of caregiving, gratitude and grace can be found in small, meaningful moments. Jackie led us in a fun and creative art project that brought joy and connection to the group—a perfect complement to Peggy’s message. The group was thrilled to receive their Pink Cloud Moments Caregiver journals, which they’ll continue using as a beautiful tool for reflection, self-care, and gratitude.”
