November NewsGrateful at Thanksgiving and Travel Writing Award

The Fall Gratitude We Said Go Travel Writing Award is open and will close on Thanksgiving. The Fall 2016 theme is: Where did you find the spark to follow your dreams? I have been honored to publish nearly 2000 writers from 75 countries with the dozen writing competitions I have hosted on We Said Go Travel. I hope you will consider participating in this award or sharing it with someone who wants to tell their tale. Thank you for all the support over the years.

Where did I go in November?

My Caribbean birthday adventures to  ArubaCancunCuba and Bonaire ended Nov 5. The videos are in progress and will be ready soon.

I was happy to return to Los Angeles for my first solo Art show! Simply Ceramics now has its own Instagram account and Facebook page. I sold more than half of the 50 pieces in my show and will have more available soon.

My art will also be included in the show at The Clayhouse in Santa Monica Dec 9-10.  Are you looking for handmade holiday gifts from incredibly talented artists? Join us for the December show!

I was invited to participate in a conference in Scottsdale, Arizona this month and it was another first for me! I have been saying yes to many new things for my 50 things before I am 50 project. I will keep you posted on what happens next!
