River otters are such magical little beings. How lucky you get to see them regularly!

Thank you for reminding me, Stacey, after living here for eight years, I can go to the forest, the lake, ocean, falls, and rivers. Living here in the Olympic Peninsula, the little crook of land of Washington state feels like great fortune to me daily.

And, the community of creative artist, farmers, healers, servers, seniors, and writers continues to grow and expand my heart and creative heart and spirit. A synthesis of all I've ever longed for feels to be merging and integrating right here for me as never before.

Sometimes when I walk in my neighborhood, or by the sea, it seems as if I am living in a very remote area, with more creatures and nature than human beings. This has grown on me, to live in a community of ten thousand people.

I felt deep in my heart one day while walking with my Maine Coon, that this place was just a little to small for me, driving only 25 miles an hour, and most streets less as there are reindeer grazing, fawns born by our mailbox.

And, then it dawned upon me, I am in the perfect place for more and more people to

re awaken to what we're here for and who we are as a collective humanity. We have all the elements so alive in us, nature, the winds, the rain, the waters and the wildlife is close proximity.
