Arrivederci Toronto

The trip is off to a good start as my good friend and fellow writer wouldn't let me leave without a gift that only a fellow writer would think to give.


A beautiful journal, that is just big enough and small enough for 12-day voyage thoughts. The cover reveals words that are just inspiring enough to coax you into filling the empty pages.

The package wouldn't be complete without a pen that drips good, consistent ink. A good writing utensil is measured by its ability to keep pace with sporadic bursts of thought/creativity. I'm looking forward to some "gripping" conversations with Pen.

And on the back cover, a challenge...


A challenge, and a journey, that seems to have been tailor-made for me.

I am so touched, Rikki, and so pleased that my little gift touched you.
Use it well. And may this be the beginning of a wonderful new chapter in your writing life!
Bon Voyage! I'll be relishing every word that you choose to share of your adventure!

Where you off to Rikki? Italy?

Yes, Tina. Rome, then Santo Stefano di Sessiano in the mountains of Abruzzo for a week of writing immersion, then back to Rome for three days.
