The Dream

When was it?

It can be hard to gauge the exact moment when a dream becomes a reality.
It seems, though, that my moment has arrived!

So, to answer the opening question, my moment was when I opened my little shop, The Art of Writing.

The bigger, and more important question, though, is:

What is my dream?

To do volunteer work in an area that is need of help and support.
Belize is the country I've chosen, and thankfully I have connections in place to make for an easy transition :)

When is this all happening?

It's already started! That can be a little overwhelming to think about, but also satisfying. I've been wanting to do this for many years, but the timing has never been right before.

The goal is to be there by the Spring of 2014 - Not very far off!

The idea of my little shop is to help me in raising funds to move, and to contribute towards my living expenses while I'm there.

Why "The Art of Writing"?

I've always loved handwriting - cursive and caligraphy. The beauty of a handwritten letter. In our modern era, it seems to be a dying art.

I try to combine that love with other passions - literature, words, art, paper, stationary, ampersands, home decor, simple pleasures, etc.

I believe in only selling something that I would actually want to buy. Things that inspire me, and make me happy. I hope they do the same for you.
