Hello! Happy Fall!
Hope your autumn has gotten off to a great start.
I am still walking on air from a recent trip to Ireland. I’ll share some pictures in my next post. In the meantime, I heard from Arlyn Miller, a poet and publisher from Glencoe, IL. She is starting a new publishing project–here are the details.
Peace, love, and solace
