Creating an inspiring writing space
Our writing environment contributes to our productivity, creativity, and professionalism. Here are six ways we can examine how to create an inspiring writing space.
Misty mornings
Dew has health benefits both for plants and for humans. One misty morning walk helped me reflect on what we miss if we are not observant of the greater world that surrounds us.

Intertwining our existence with nature
Native plants and natural habitats contribute to our pollinating population. And we thrill to see bees dance and flowers grow before our eyes.
