I wander – traveling the world as often and as far as I can; sometimes short visits, sometimes longer, always yearning to learn something new; walking each day, exploring, finding the “new” in nature, in cities, wherever I find myself; I wander, unsure of the path ahead.
I ponder – the “new” that I find as I wander; stringing thoughts together in what, I hope, becomes something to write; I ponder, unsure of the life ahead.
I write – about dogs, nature, glass and rocks; primarily picture books for young children and their special adults to share; and sometimes fantasy books for older children; and sometimes poetry.
And I? I’m a wife, mother, dog owner, avid gardener & pre-published author, who is submitting stories to be published (hopefully) sometime soon.
You sound so similar to me. I love this. Loved reading it. Made me smile.
