Lisa, Beautiful writing. Love your watercolors, too. You make me want to tromp through the Ecuadorian jungle and float down the Napo River to see the eruption of parrots and parakeets. I'm getting back to writing in earnest, like this bit about Baja California: https://oneboyswayofknowing.com/2025/03/01/the-broken-down-bus/

Thank you so much, Steve. That means the world to me, coming from you. I loved your piece about Baja California. I’m still thinking about it days later. I’m so glad you’re still writing. ✍🏻

Awww, thank you! Funny though, the hiking boots get worn more often these days than the Jimmy Choos. 👠

You are instrumental in this whole thing. Without you I would not have the words. Without Studio Unfurl I would not have been inspired to do this. Thank you so much for everything you’ve given me, especially courage and belief in my words. 💕

Hey Lisa, what a great story. Made me relive my “death march” in Ecuador last year! But I missed the parrots! 😂
