Hi there!
It’s a foggy cold morning on Orcas Island and I’m multi-tasking layered with reflective thoughts of peace and hope. Isn’t that what this season is all about?
Today Mindy Kayl, candidate for Orcas West County Council position, is observing a hand-recount of last month’s ballots. She lost by about 100 votes to Richard Fralick in the General Election, and is exercising her right to make sure the count was accurate. Tomorrow she plans to butcher sheep on her farm.
In her book, “The Artist’s Way,” Julia Cameron refers to early-morning journal writing as “junk” writing, which always reminds me of that corny expression, “God don’t make junk” so I’ve always referred to it as “fresh” writing. I wake up with so many bright ideas, practical and outlandish, that mornings are the best time for me to update this blog.
So, by noon, the new day’s input should be online and you can read new content. I’m still working on getting RSS feeds and more complicated items on the site. In the meantime, feel free to contact me at pub@PortGamblePublishing.com.
