Cindy, you do important work in the world! I cared for my mother with dementia at home until her death last April. I wish I’d have known about your book during those challenging years. This letter was inspiring!

Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement, Amy! I'm so sorry about your mom; I know you led with love in your heart and a commitment to give the best care you could. I appreciate your thoughts and support. Warm wishes to you for all the blessings of the season.

This "letter to my former self" series is a brilliant concept. So much wisdom in these essays.

Thanks, Moorea. I love to read the personal insights that are emerging, too!

Sometimes we worry too much about explaining our choices to others. The letters release us from that—no translation or explanations required.

Thanks for reading and commenting on the letters - I see you following us ;-)

Many more to come....and new collaborations too.

Looks great, don't you think? In addition to a big thanks for asking me to join the collaboration for Letter from a Caregiver, I appreciate the flexibility to write a different type of caregiver letter. It was the first time I've shared the emotional side of publishing, and it felt good to let it go! Thanks for the freedom to express myself and for your superb organization (still amazed at that!). 🤗

You're very welcome, Cindy. I'm glad this was a catharsis for you.

I'm happy to leverage my old work leadership, team and project skills for our purpose.
