sculpture of a grasshopper, Aztec, c.1500

Red squirrel alert!

Spotted darting through the pines, stashing nuts like a pro.

#Today 24

Good day!

THREE chapters remain to edit in Book3.

I had a flashback yesterday, a moment of irrational fear when I questioned if my next breath would be there.

It was.

That wasn’t always the case. Once you’ve taken a breath & there was no air, you never forget.

I’m grateful for each one.

Be everwell.

A recent walk through Selby Gardens at Spanish Point kept me gazing up at a crisp blue sky when this beauty appeared.

#Today 23

Good day!

FOUR chapters remain for me to edit in Book3. Yesterday’s was hampered by nearby construction that even overpowered my headphones.

I finished.

Today, more construction? I’m prepared. I’ll walk, edit my blog post, & tackle a chapter.

They won’t stop me.

Be everwell.

Two years of growing this beard, and today it feels exactly where it belongs — under the sun, in the quiet hills of southern Italy.

I’m reminded how good it feels to slow down, to embrace simplicity, and to just be.

#Today 22

Good day!

It’s difficult to get up when there’s a soft, purring creature snuggled tight to your chest.

FIVE chapters left to edit in Book3.

When I walk this morning it’ll be freezing. The nights remain cold, the days mild.

I’ll then draft this week’s blog post, part two in a self-editing series.

Be everwell.

#Today 21

Good day!

SIX Book3 chapters remain to edit. Counting down is but one of the things I do to fuel my motivation.

I’ll grab a prescription at the pharmacy when they open, then walk.

I’m so ready to hike. I’ve never pushed as hard at editing as I have this month.

Be everwell.

#SilentSunday

A late (or early) Timeline cleanser of today. It is a macro of one of the members of the Campanula family. I love making plant portraits and it's not as easy as it seems, especially the macro ones. Always leaving them the way that I've found them, never picking. It is a whole new world inside ours and I love to lose track of time wondering and exploring.

#Today 20

Good day!

*Lolo Peak.

7-chapters remain to edit in Book3.

Yesterday’s chapter required cross-referencing with Book1. It’s complicated.

What isn’t complicated is that, yet again, I cried. The moment is setup in Book1 in Plandon’s cavern.

A walk, & another chapter…

Be everwell.
