[BEST OF WS] Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney

Creating is changing; or, childless cat ladies for the win!

Hello everyone. I’m taking a break for a little while as my physical and mental health have been especially bad in recent weeks. This time of year, with the anniversary of my son’s death in April, is always a hard time, but right now everything feels harder than ever – the shifting international political situation, worries about my friends in the USA, and the terrible betrayal of some of the poorest and most vulnerable people by the Labour Government in the UK. All of this has taken a heavy toll on me.

I hope you will forgive me for sending out a series of newsletter which are a compilation of those I consider my best ones from the last year. I am spending the coming weeks writing and studying with the pressure taken off, so I hope I will have plenty of new material to share with you later in the spring.
