For the caregivers at Sanford

Thank you. Truly.

You took a few quiet minutes to answer honestly — about how tired you are, what you carry, what you've been going without. That's not a small thing.

Your answers are with me now. They're safe here.

What happens next.

Within the next day or two, you'll receive a short, personal note from me at the email you shared. Not a generic auto-reply — a real letter, written for you, reflecting back what I noticed in your answers and a gentle suggestion or two for where you might begin.

In the meantime, check your inbox — and your spam folder, just in case — for a first quiet hello.

While you wait.

A few small things you can do for yourself right now. Nothing that asks much of you.

One

Drink a glass of water.

Slowly. Standing at the sink is fine. Notice that you are someone who deserves the water too.

Two

Step outside for one minute.

Just one. The air on your face. The reminder that there is a world beyond fluorescent light.

Three

Eat something real today.

Sitting down, if you can. Not over the sink. Not in your car. A small act of being on your own side.

An open door

When you're ready, come sit with us.

Most people find their way here through a free gathering — a women's circle, a Café Mortel, an evening of ecstatic dance. No pressure, no agenda. Just a room that feels different from the ones you've been holding all day.

Find your first event

You don't have to keep being strong for everyone else, all of the time. There is a version of your life where you are also held.
