The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs…
one step at a time.
~ Joe Girard
My sister Margaret gets the credit for the photo of me climbing the 280 steps to the top inside the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. I thought this photograph was a good one to use in a thank you to all of the readers and friends who took time to leave a supportive message with regard to my writing and ever so slight disappointment over receiving a polite ” not interested ” response from the newspaper I queried recently.
I have found such fine support for the writing I do here and I am never sure I let you know how much it is appreciated. Mary from A Breath of Fresh Air left me a very kind comment yesterday about writing a book, in which she said she that she would not hesitate to gift a collection of stories taken from my blog to her friends. It was just the lift I needed yesterday to pick up my pace mentally and refocus on the steps before me.
Thanks again to all who visit here at Gifts Of The Journey and thanks for your support.

Just wanted to say that I appreciate your comments too. Sometimes another perspective, a gentle thought or a challenge is enough to get us back on the right track. Thanks for being you.
..and for all your encouragement and heart.
I would buy your book! Whatever it is about. If PW can sell her Black Heels book, yours has to have interest too! Totally different style but there are a lot of us who would love to read about your expatriate life. I know I envy you! I like being at least an arm chair traveller.
