ANXIOUS WRITER ATTEMPTS ADVENTUROUS LIFE
Search This Blog
Writing Books, Seeking God, Teaching Writing, and Coping with OCD
I’m a writer who dodged being a minister; I saw that my dharma, my calling, was instead to write about body and spirit, to explore in fiction my metaphysical questions. I’ve spent the past 35+ years as a freelancer, with 2 novels, 2 nonfiction books, magazine and newspaper articles from 25+ countries, a few seasons as a TV reporter, copy for ad agencies, a winter in India, and my manuscript and career consulting services for writers.
It’s not because I’m naturally lion-hearted that I’ve chosen the topic of bold living and bold writing. It’s because I aspire to living and writing with courage. I wrestle with these matters; I even have a touch of an anxiety disorder, specifically obsessive-compulsive disorder. You probably know the saying: we teach what we need to learn.
I post here about daily fears and triumphs, about writing and, if I ever get my courage up, about mysticism, the ultimate brazen act: direct experience of God. I hope you’ll leap into the wide-ranging conversation here and come back often. I hope you’ll find the talk here encouraging for your own adventures.

Beautiful pictures, Peggy! Food and Wine magazine has an article about Rancho La Puerta's new cooking school in the Dec. issue. I was actually there when it was being written up and photographed, so I am in the first picture of the article. Great article, so I thought you might like to read it!
How exciting! I'll find a copy. I just looked at the article online, but it was only text and one little farm picture. It was fun to read about the place again. I look forward to seeing your cooking picture.
Hi Peggy,
The article in the magazine is much longer, and quite good. I think you will enjoy it. I am actually in the picture that is online, too, but you wouldn't know it unless I pointed it out. I am the one in the hot pink tee-shirt. The photo is a little bigger in the magazine. That was one of the days when the temperature went above 100 degrees.
Enjoy!
Yes! There you are--the bright spot in the picture.
I just went to look for the hard copy of the magazine (I'm in the Chapel Hill library) but, dadgummit, they don't carry it. It's on my list.
Oh Peggy, you just made my day! The bright spot in the picture, what a positive way to look at it!
I do hope that you are able to find the issue. If not, I can mail you a copy of the article.
Have a great evening!
I'll get a copy for sure.
