In celebration of Lisa(aka Mo)
ETA: newport2newport is hatching a wonderful idea Right Here. Go check it out!
I just learned some very sad news.
Lisa, for so long, I have enjoyed reading your reviews, funny notes and family stories, and seeing your beautiful photography here. You have been a champion and cheerleader for all of us, and along with many others, I was so excited to celebrate your rising light-- when your first book was accepted, then published... earned awards... and as you moved on to other stories and wonderful experiences.
So many of us are grieving over what you're going through, and those sore feet seem a cruel added insult for such a strong and joyous swimmer. The ocean has a way of reminding us how very small and temporary we are, sometimes.
But what I take most from your most recent post is how much you are a woman filled with grace and wisdom. Those of us who have known you in any capacity are richer for the experience--- and through your stories, I know that the wake of your presence in the world will expand for many years.
Lots of love.
