Update

Hello dearest Blog readers, I have not forgotten you!
Turns out backpacking through Europe at age 48 is not the same as at age 20. That trip really took a bit of a toll on me and I am still recuperating.
But in the meantime, I want to share a blog reader with you!
Her name is Lynda and we met in London when she read that I would be visiting there on my blog. It was so much fun to connect with such a beautiful, creative soul - she has lived in Papua, New Guinea, The Middle East, the tropics, and the UK, and is such a force for creativity.
It was fun to hear of her photographic and art and blog adventures, and to find out she is seeing clients as an art therapist - something I would like to do one day, as well.
We laughed and shared and had great coffee and it was awesome.

Thanks for seeing us, Lynda - I hope you come see me in the States one day!

Here are her lovely blogs:

and us at Shepherd's Bush in London - don't you love her bright orange jacket? As soon as I saw that, I knew I would love Lynda:
