Storyteller's Journey

Relax, Regroup, & Rejuvenate!

As I mentioned last week, I'm in a transition period between writing and publishing/marketing. I'm also taking some well-deserved time to simply relax, regroup, and rejuvenate.

As I've mentioned before, nature is my main muse, and enjoying the arts is my passion. When they come together it's magic! Here's a recent photo with my husband Michael before visiting the Maryhill Museum of Art in the Columbia River Gorge. Michael was a participant in the Pacific Northwest Plein Air art show, where he won an Honorable Mention Award.

While it might seem like taking this much time off unwise, I've always found that I need a "full tank" emotionally and creatively to effectively write. So, while I'm taking it easy right now, I'm still checking out some important information for my path to publication ahead. 

Emily Dickinson once said, "Write me of hope and love, and hearts that endured." To do that, we need to have tasted of those things in our own lives.
Wishing all mothers and nurturers a very Happy Mother's Day!
