A new year!

I love what author Toni Morrison said about writing, and encourage writers to follow her directive: "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." Also, for those who love to read - make sure you stock your Goodreads "to-read" lists with books you maybe wouldn't normally choose!

I've been taking note of all I accomplished last year and what my goals are for this one - and enjoying a winter "writer's retreat". It's important to re-charge and take the time to enjoy the space and quiet for writing, illustrating, creating, reading or just in peaceful contemplation.

Sending you warm hugs and sunny regards!
