I live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. And that tells a lot about what I find meaningful. The beauty of the natural world here is astonishing. Everyday I encounter wild animals - moose in my yard in winter, raptors along the creek in summer, elk on the mountains during spring and fall migration. All of this enlivens me and supports creative energy. My book WRITING WILD, Forming A Creative Partnership With Nature, tells how this works for me and how it can work for you. The thing that interests me the most is relationships - with ourselves, each other, the natural world - so I write about them in order to understand them. And since life is full of humor - which I see as a form of wisdom - I love to use a sense of the funny to express my discoveries. There are qualities we all have in common: one is a longing for love and another is a resistance to change. Since love changes everything and everyone, naturally there arises some form of resistance. For me, that's where the humor and the wisdom come in. I hope you enjoy my books. I would love to hear from you. I may be contacted through my website: www.TinaWelling.com.
