I am back from my beach vacation - full of salt air, my feet massaged from taking a long walk along the pristine beach that is my front verandah for a fortnight. While I was in this computer free zone I wrote and covered notebooks for my close friends, inserting lovely long letters. It reminded me of childhood pleasures and helped me clarify who I am and how I want to live and write. This month in my on-line journal I will be exploring who I am as a writer. At least as I peel back the layers I am finding gold hidden within and have rediscovered how I can find joy.
