Good to be home

Medieval Jousting Shield

My January and February are filling up with workshops about writing through grief and loss.   I’m excited, and every workshop I teach, I learn more about how our stories are our own and how they reach other people, too.

But first, I went to NY.

One day in New York and had lunch with Braving the Fire‘s editor, who I already thought was terrific but is even smarter and more fun in person. Also managed to not buy things at ABC Carpet and Home, because who can afford those clothes, really? Grabbed an hour at The Met (hence the photo) before tea with the mastermind behind The Practicing Writer.

Dinner with lovely cousins, and then in the morning, my favorite train trip up the Hudson River to fly a kite, eat homemade jam, meet a new kitty, learn how to watch the Red Sox on tv, and talk a little bizness.

Isn’t it great to be home! Even with an “I did too much in three days” cold!
