“What lasts is what you start with.” For this morning’s walk, the treasures held within our childhood selves.

I know I’ve been talking about the Venice residency for the Alma College MFA in Creative writing, but don’t forget if you’re not ready yet for a two-year degree program, you can still join me in the idyllic countryside of Italy for ‘The Write of Your Life’ – A one week writers retreat. We stay at the luxurious Hotel Villa Margherita in Mira and tour Venice and its lovely countryside.

Dates of trip: 18-24 September, 2023

Until then, be well.

Always remembering the poetic and magical words of Lord Byron,

‘But words are things,

And a small drop of ink,

Falling, like dew,

Upon a thought

Produces that which makes thousands,

Perhaps millions, think’

Peace,
