Native American Storyline

My beautiful work space at the Ocean Club, Cape May, NJ

Imagine working on a Native American storyline on the beach? A lot of people who are creative are motivated by the water.  The smell, the sound of the waves, and the salt is all healing and soothing. For me all of it is inspiring and I feel so blessed to have this time by the sea.

On August 9, 2012 it will be three years since my mother died. I will passing the day writing. I hope she is looking down at me and smiling because of the Native American storyline.  Her maiden name was Crofoot: used to be Crowfoot but the W was dropped to assimilate.  I will also collect some beautiful stones by the beach, in her honor. These will be put in their own spot in my study at home in an abandoned birds nest that I found.  These will be Mary Ann's stones. When I get stuck with something, I will hold the stones and ask for her help like I used to do when she is alive. It sounds like a plan.
