June is Busting Out All Over

​Mary’s got her groove back.  Her blog groove that is.  Writing most days, I’m well-oiled to share a mixture of learning and discovery with those in the Legacies community.  Each entrepreneur needs to find the right vehicle to reach their audience, and since, I don’t do windows, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or tweet et. al., for I find my well, my writing resources are fuller and richer than present channels offer, the Reflections blog was re-born.

Welcome.

Like the lyrics from Carousal “June is Busting Out All Over,” at the same time that nature reveals herself in full color, this story-filled girl can’t keep her ideas down.  Working with so many distinctive storytellers these past years has filled my files with tremendous insight and expertise in the art and craft of story-telling, capturing, writing and producing, and has brought incredible joy.

Life as a writer can be creatively isolating at times.  But without the sounds of the city, I’m surrounded by big skies and quiet days and dark night; Cedar Waxwings enjoying the pine fruits; Coopers Hawk being attacked by a family of Red-winged Blackbirds as she gathers her rodent dinner; the periodic sighting of a Hummingbird; the birth of four House Wrens in my back door wreath;  frogs in basement window wells; a Red Bellied Woodpecker bringing joy to my heart at each sighting; and the Mourning Dove parents who find comfort in my flower boxes enough to lay their eggs and raise their young’uns to literally, leave the nest, and I find inspiration and peace.

The country stillness allows for focus on each new project, and teaching and presentation development both on stage and off.  How Legacies can help you save a story, a life?

In REFLECTIONS, I hope to share a window into my multi-faceted world of story. I invite you to travel with me on the first and third Sundays of the month, for you are truly a companion on a journey.
