Silence has been a gift to me this past year. Back in March I blogged about one of my favorite authors, Ann LeClair and her latest book “Listening Below the Noise”. I read it in one day and her experience with silence over nineteen years helped me immensely straighten out the craziness going on in my head for three months.
Since then I have taken a writing workshop with her, and gone to listen to her speak. She is an amazing woman. So you can imagine my surprise and excitement when I got the email I am sharing with you below. I’ll let it speak for itself.
I sent it to my husband saying “Xmas gift?”. And guess what? He read it and knows how much her work means to me. He came to me and said he wanted me to go. Yes, I know I’m married to a prince who treats me like a queen. Not a day goes by that I don’t thank God for him. Thanks to him and God, I am here, healthy, and able to go to this.
I can’t think of a more wonderful way to wind up this journey. This certainly will be an amazing way to reflect about the 12 month trek and give it the respect it deserves.
And so, as another day goes by, December in the Berkshires will be beautiful in many ways, and…I have written.
