I have always wanted to travel to and through Peru - your words transported me there in spirit. Thank you for sharing this fantastic experience. I felt as if I walked by you, seeing things that landed so softly in my heart.

Love you. Alex

I like that you went phone free. Technology can be such an intrusion especially in beautiful places. See you in the hood.

Thanks for sharing your path of healing - so honest and heartfelt. Thanks also for triggering memories of a past trip to the magical Sacred Valley of Peru. You described the way that place seeps into your soul much better than I ever could. I can conjure up the feeling of peace it gave me with a single image ... I hope it takes root and eases your journey somewhat too ❤️

I agree. Isa captures the magical realism that the Sacred Valley conjures. So glad she could share this experience with us.

So beautifully written, I felt like I was there

So beautifully written, I ended up being glad I wasn’t there because of the creepy spiders in the mercury

Once again, Isa, thanks for sharing your beautiful words and heart

Grief work surrounds all of us, if we choose to acknowledge it. Sharing your grief inspires me to explore the Wild Edge of Sorrow in my life. Thank You always for sharing.

Dearest Isa,

This trip clearly was necessary, stunning with new vistas. Bailey is everywhere with

you, an inspiration for your marvelous writing. I always thought your art was first but you have many talents and use them all to good purpose. Go on developing all of them which will be a tribute to your daughter who didn’t have the chance.

Love XoxJane

The pain of loss is also our barometer of great love. Will be holding your heart as you walk these next days.

Beautiful, Isa. My younger son Hayden graduates high school on Wednesday June 4th - I'll hold Bailey close to my heart as I hug Hayden and celebrate his milestone. Sending you an ocean of love from Maine. ❤️
