Stories to Inform & Inspire

August 9, 2019

Hello ,

A note to let you know the abundance of life is bowling me over!

Unfortunately, I need to take a few weeks away from this newsletter.

I'm prioritizing my novel, which is growing by 20-pages a week!

And I'm preparing for my speaking engagements in Pennsylvania and West Virginia the last of week of August. I'll join in the activities there to commemorate

the 100th anniversary of Fannie Sellins' killing. See my schedule here..

I've mentioned how I love to garden. Well, a bounty of produce is calling my name.

This was yesterday's harvest. Plus, my basil patch is ready to pick, and I'm hoping to freeze a huge batch of pesto in the next day or two.

Since I've committed to performing with Spokane Aerial Performance Arts, I have workouts three nights a week. My first public performances were this past Saturday and Sunday.

This was a casual affair at a local neighborhood festival. We had no set routines, but improvised while hoping for some good music from whatever band was taking the stage.

Quick update from Standing Rock Indian Reservation:

Three years I wrote about the Dakota Access Pipeline protests there. That story here...

Despite protests the pipeline is operational, but tribal leaders are continuing to work for a sustainable future. Their latest venture a solar farm. Check out this video.

I've been researching a couple inspiring stories for you and expect to be back in touch in September.
