This is the opportunity I take to share a summary of my words, some of the words of others that I find inspiring, an image, and some fun facts about who is reading! You can read the first missive here. And see a list of all the missives here.
This is the place that we meet. Under the tree where the goanna finds shade.
This is the place we dream, and wander, and imagine. This is the place we hope and plan. This is the place we question and laugh and doubt. This is the place we mourn and rejoice.
This is the place we bask in the sun and shelter in the shade.
This is the place we write, create, make and imagine.
This place.
It’s a small world!
As is our bent, we’re planning a couple of adventures!
This past six months has seen travel to Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, New Jersey, New York and around New Mexico. We are planning travels in Colorado, Arizona, Ohio, and Calfornia, Washington D.C, and some more explorations of New Mexico before the year is out.
I often post instagram images from our travel adventures – you can follow these glimpses here.

A Quote
“So our mothers and grandmothers have more often than not anonymously handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see.” – Alice Walker
