The Road to Enlightenment

Early in 2001, three friends began a journey which would lead them to a greater understanding of “self” and how to put some of their life experiences into publications that can help others. The results of their work are two publications.

The CaringConcepts, Inc., was incorporated by the state of Nebraska in December 2003. The mission of the organization is to be an entity that develops and distributes publications (and other products) that will assist caregivers and members of the general public. Managing partners are Patricia R.Callone, M.A., M.R.E. and Connie Kudlacek, B.S.
