  • THIS is face time :)
  • Still Life: Evening Meditation in Espresso
  • My greeter today. Her wings like velvet and her soul on display. Small pleasures.
  • This light. Shed elk antlers. Take this writer girl back to Wyoming.
  • Stunning sunset at Brasstown Valley Resort and Spa. Finally back after 8 years. Checking Equani Spa tomorrow. Definitely feeling the Indian vibe. Though a teepee or yurt would be cool. :). #nofilter
  • I like the idea of having a view from my writing space...but I write better with the blinds closed. No distractions!
  • Tools for my trade...words that wring the Truth out of the why writers must write, a hand-spun pottery mug from a friend (it has a dent for my thumb), an hourglass with shimmering black sand to keep me on task, a stack of little journals I’ve half filled with ideas and thin places found, and layers of warm sun or moonlight...I can write anywhere, but I’m beginning to love my new spot. Maybe because there’s a balcony beside, and a fireplace and stuffed bookshelves behind me. Oh, and my writing chair is three steps away. None of these make me write, but they are like hands from the forest as I run half-blind down the trail following crumbs. Hmm...come to me, you wee voices and fill my alabaster pages.
  • What is a #nonnie you ask? Why this is. Angling for a photo with my newest #grandi Logan Tye Sebastian. Oh. This scent. This soft skin. These innocent, wide-eyed, deep soul stares. This is the ultimate Thin Place.
  • Happy Father’s Day, Dad and Evan! You two love your families with all you’ve got and, look, you both have rambunctious, creative, verbal daughters. Hmm...A day late and a photo that’s a few years old but I love this “groupie.” I consider selfies to be dangerous and highly cautionary unless you’re traveling somewhere alone. However, #groupies and #nonnies to be completely fine :).
  • Lesson #117 How to Live Simply: Sun, sand, and salty kisses.
  • A lip stained almond milk latte and an hour high on a hill in Chattanooga, Bluff View Art District. This is what I do when I’m driving through. :) Rembrandt’s Coffee Shop. Yes, all it took was the name and @Waze and here I sit under a vineyard terrace, drinking from a real cup, my camera unearthed from the back of my packed car. Day 2 of my trek back from Florida. The air is river-scented here, the heat less opaque, and I’m content. What do you do when you’re passing through?
  • A quieter section of a Siesta Key Beach has captured us. Down right pleasant at 7pm, even in June! Well done, Florida. @claymills2
