Oh. My. Goddess.. Could I do this?? Do I have the 💸? Am I brave enough? Will I be able to walk there (with my terrible, horrible knee?) Can I fit in into my life/schedule/ priorities? Will my arm be healed enough after my May surgery? Can i face traveling alone? Please tell me what to do, darling Lesley....😳 (p.s. the get in touch link does not work.)

I think I fixed the link. Thanks for that. And to answer your questions...yes! We cater to women of a certain age 😘. But honestly, yes, to all of your questions. My 2024 group had no problems, and I know other mature women who have taken workshops there. Think about it. Imagine us meeting! Someone else in their 80s is coming.

***gulp*** final workshop?!?!? 😭

Yes I retired last year. The Ireland workshop was scheduled before that decision so I am honoring it, of course. Want to come?

O' Tis a wonderful trip it would be. Man oh man, slammed with taxes again. Perhaps, for guys like me, maybe you could do a Spark Notes version I could read and dream and then write when I find time to creep out of my cave. But, those folks are in for a great time. As I believe I have stated in the past, my finest hour was participating on the school district's writing design team. I was surrounded by "creative thinkers" and yarn spinners. I believe we had an outing to an old home where we found corners in the house to just write. Imagine that. We kiss the Blarney Stone and may the luck of the Irish be wit yah.
