The first ‘news’ I read today is your delightful email - now to close my iPad and skip the habitual NYT feeding. Instead it will be a day of simply noting good news. Witnessing good news. Doing good news. Writing good news. Drawing good news. Being good news. I hope I can do it for a day! Thank you for this, you are (as always) a fountain of inspiration.

Oh how wonderful to hear Robin! I think a rest from bad news is a certain way to fight back and keep your strength. What else would be fighting for?

I agree, this piece of writing was such wonderful good news! Thank you as always Deb for such lovely writing and so much simple wonder! And I hope you make this collaboration an annual thing... as then one day, maybe...I'll be able to apply and get in and cross the seas and go! A workshop with you and Sophie Blackhall and Milkwood is definitely the best news! xx

Thank you for inspiring some good news hunting! I’m going to keep my eyes peeled for good news hiding/disguised as life!

WISH I lived close enough to consider joining you at Milkwood, and WISH that illustration paid well enough for me to afford it in the first place. Have an amazing time, and I will enjoy it vicariously!! Xx

Wish you lived closer and that illustration would up the pay to send you here too Ella! I think the rate at which you're creating all of this beautiful exceptional extraordinary work, those days are coming for you! (maybe not the living closer but...the other thing! HA! xoo

This good news idea is inspiring some writing for me today, this week, moving forward! Mostly poetry though who knows so thank you for that. Also I think I will add it to the mindful walking practice my husband and I are trying to cultivate...good news, the eagle is on the nest! Good news, the earth smells delicious!
