    Linda Robinson

    I've been writing and creating art since I won all those ribbons in 3rd grade. In the last decade, I have been a primary caregiver. In my spare time, I illustrated 37 textbooks, created holistic workshop art, wild food labels, CD cover art, a movie poster, book covers and delightedly drew characters for 9 children’s books. My novel Chantepleuré is available on Smashwords a well as the tiny free book You May Already Be a Winner!, and the new caregiver guide to sanity. Caregiver: Finding Your Self.

      Caregiver is one role in a lifetime of many, performed while still working to maintain my self-image as a creative, independent older woman. I am not a mental health or medical professional. This is a story of a personal caregiver experience. The only subject matter expertise on my CV is in doing things the hard way and taking the long way home. I invite you to remember that anecdata is not data.

      Caregivers step in because they are needed. We are kind and empathetic observers of the human condition. Just when
