I love this, Ruth. Just this last week I had an idea for a memoir…..not sure how to squeeze that in with everything else, but this quote inspires me not to ignore the idea. 🙂
Your idea sounds exciting (tell me more when you can!). It’s good to keep that file of ideas overflowing so that we can figure out which ones to focus on and make happen 🙂
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

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
