I wrote at the edge of the restored wetlands of Tomales Bay. Like grief, the terrain was in constant flux.
We were told we would get more writing done than we anticipated. I didn’t believe it…and then there I was, two days before the end of my residency, with a full first draft of my book.
Mesa Refuge played a critical role in my transition from nonprofit executive to author—helping me find my voice when I needed it most. Mesa’s grassroots orientation makes it a rare jewel among residencies.
On my last day, I felt honored to add my name to the long list of creators and thought leaders who have passed through Mesa Refuge.
