A thought on EARTH DAY…
When I researched and wrote LIVING BRIDGES, I was reminded of the gifts nature gives us, and of our deep connection to our environment.
But the reminders are all around us.
Take a moment. Notice all the beauty and wonder around you!

Writing tip: After you finish, go back & cut all the adverbs. Then all the adjectives. Then all the other words. Eat the paper. Now you're free.
