I love this, Ruth. Just this last week I had an idea for a memoir…..not sure how to squeeze that in with everything else, but this quote inspires me not to ignore the idea. 🙂

So very true this is Ruth… Gosh I should start writing my memoir hugh? yikes! can barely manage a blog post a week!! Great quote dear friend!! xo

If you did do it, I know it would be a fascinating and inspiring read. I’ve also thought that a book with your photographs and poems would be brilliant. Thanks so much for stopping by Robyn and subscribing – I really appreciate it. Much love to you xx
