Thank you. My writing aims are in sync with your message.
I might be interested in knowing more about one of your retreats, especially the one in Ontario. I have ancestry roots there.
Lynn,
When I hear your ideas and encouragement in these videos I can feel my creative juices begin to percolate. It’s like the seeds you plant with words have begun to swell. Soon the swollen seeds will burst and take root with the newly added fertilizer you have provided for my mind. Thanks for producing these little videos and making them available.
Thank you, some very interesting points. I hope to find a retreat. after I get a passport.
