My given name “Deborah” means “seeking one,” or “little bee.”  Little did my parents know how descriptive it would turn out to be.  It seems I am constantly looking for the good stuff, eager to take it back to the hive so it can be processed and then savored and often shared.  

For some reason I also feel drawn to birds, maybe for the same reason I relate to bees. When I saw the photograph here at Aspen and Evergreen gallery in Estes Park, Colorado, I gasped. My first thought was that I know how that bird feels. That is very strange, I know. Maybe it is because birds often seem solitary as they look around from their perches. Maybe it is because I like to look at the “big picture” and see various sides of objects and issues. Who knows?

I write this blog because I am compelled to write and create, and to share what I have done. Our stories and insights connect us to each other, so if even one of my posts is helpful to you, it is worth it. Enjoy!
