Creativity and Hope in the Air

Celebrating Victoria Hanley and her Wild Ink book release with other writers and friends last night filled me with inspiration and hope, making me sure it's not too late for my dreams to come true.

The many accomplished authors in the room, such as Victoria, Amy Kathleen Ryan and Laura Resau, were once where I am now: working extremely hard to learn and do all the things that make the writing right, hoping and hoping an agent will love my work, not just like it one day.

Congratulations Victoria. And thank you for writing your book and sharing your wisdom and experience with those of us on the road to Someday Success.

Thin Places

A thin place is said to be a location where there is but a veil between Heaven and earth, making them close enough to one another to touch. There are many thin places in the world where people can feel this. Being in Ireland last year confirmed this for me with the feeling of complete connection to all that is.

I took the picture on my home page while visiting my cousin on Cape Cod last September. The low pixel camera in my phone created a muted, old photo effect: I was there then, and then could have been a time now or one before. Thin, indeed.

Choose to spend time in places that convey this connection for you, and write all your feelings down.
