It has been a year since I wrote my first blog.  I was anticipating the publication of my book Wave Rider.  With diligent guidance from my publicists Mari and Art of Artotems Co, I wrote about my experiences and reflected on the events of the time.  Funny how some things change so little.
 
I came to Santa Fe because my spirit called.  My soul needed the earth, colors, beauty and wind of the west.  Now nine years later, I am leaving my family of friends.  We have been committed to each other in a circle that is changing the world.  Mostly we have changed ourselves.  Deep bonds of love and compassion hold us steady in this chaotic world.  Hugs, laughter, deep wisdom, tears and casual conversation about insignificance encircled us.  I cherish each and every one of you.
 
A new book of my life is beginning.  Now the winds blow east where the air is not quite so light and dry but heavy and moist.  Elevation is near sea level, and I can breathe deeply.  I look forward to the green and the rains.  I am moving to West Grove, Pennsylvania near Philadelphia to regain my deep breath and to be near family.  Santa Fe has been both beautiful and harsh, and I have completed a full circle here.  For me new friends and perhaps a new book await.  I will remember each of you.  Thank you for making my life meaningful, full and fun.
