I just love your newsletters. You have such an interesting life and the letters are always so upbeat. Full of enthusiasm, kindness, humor and beautiful art. Exactly the little boost that I needed for today. I ordered a copy of your book and look forward to seeing you in person when your tour gets to DC. Stories, art and trees! Does it get any better than that?
I wish I had found you sooner! I am very interested in creating a new career for myself after over 30 years of teaching art. I love the outdoors and am slowing disrobing what I want to become as I grow up again (i.e. healing from years of teaching and driving long distances to meet with student teachers, etc.). I am getting my studio together in the midst of teaching myself new skills and relearning how to draw and paint again. Weird as that sounds, teaching often leaves one with little time of actual doing. I am rusty! My sketchbook is going with me everywhere! Thanks for the inspiration !
yes, I agree, teaching can really take it out of you. A lot of writers are encouraged to teach as a day job, but I think anything else would be better as a day job so you still have the juice to write. I imagine it's the same with art. Anyway I'm glad you're carrying your sketchbook around!
Love this!

I did not mean disrobing! I meant discovering! Lol -No place to edit.
Hahaha, I like disrobing!
