I'm over the top grateful for this recognition. Honestly, it seems ridiculous to give me a reward when Heather McHugh and the beautiful people who run and support Caregifted do what they do. If you don't know anything about these angels on earth, you can catch up here.
Now I'm going to flip through my photos from my week in Victoria and meditate on them. The beautiful thing about that week of respite is how it still sustains me. I think it's the affirmation of possibility of rest, if that makes sense. If you're a caregiver and believe that you'll never feel whole again, or rested or even sane, trust me that it's possible.
