“Keep close to Nature’s heart…
and break clear away,
once in awhile,
and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.
Wash your spirit clean.”
–John Muir

You don’t know me, but you and this blog have changed my life. I have learned so much reading your posts. I think it’s past time that I said thank-you. Keep up the good work.

Last week was horrible for me and I came here feeling bruised and emotionally beaten. I have spent several hours reading your posts and when I read this quote I knew I had to write and tell you what an inspiration you have been to me. I can only say thanks but that isn’t enough for how your blog has lifted my spirits!
