Was my birthday on March 6.  Here I am walking in beautiful Camogli, on the Ligurian coast.  What do I bring back.  Heart stones found on the beaches in Bogliasco and Camogli.  New friends, new ideas, fresh ways of working, inspiration,  some beautiful new work and a sense of how I want it to develop.  Excitement.  Appreciation for the opportunities and support from the wonderful Bogliasco Foundation – the people, the place, the vision.

Pam asked, “What is it that you want to extend from here into your life at home?”  A deeper sense of play, purpose, commitment and resolve.  Passion, discipline, delight.  An absence of distraction and irritation.  A steady heart.

I am ready.
