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
Hi Robyn, I’d love to read your memoir! A little writing a day and it would build up. It’s just whether or not you want the emotional exposure? 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
