TRAVEL TOUCHSTONES

Intentional Travel through Creative Journal Writing

Have you considered spinning memories into stories, essays or memoirs?

  1. Rhonda,

    I would come if I could be two places at once. I am leading the Trailblazer hikes each Saturday morning, in the month of October.

    Cheers, from Pat Kobe
