One Devoted Group #MWWC7

The entries are in and we had a great turn out.  I have had time to read…one.  But I will change that this week as the voting has begun.   Here is what I have.  If you didn’t email it to me or comment, I may not have found it so let me know if you posted somewhere else and didn’t link.

Rules will continue.  Vote once, you may or may not vote for yourself.  Pick three.  If you’d like, in the spirit of the Olympics, I can announce Gold, Silver, and Bronze.  So pour yourself a cup of joe or a glass of Beau-jo and enjoy the many talents of the entrants.

Being a stay- at-home mom can leave one thirsting for a taste of the outside world, a world in which sentences are composed of more than three words. Being an educator means one is always seeking an opportunity to explore and learn. Being a woman with a need to connect can be a challenge when adult conversations are rare. In wine, I find the marriage of art and science, agriculture and storytelling provides limitless areas to explore. But it is the people that keep me engaged. The tenacity needed to keep the family dream alive, the risk to start anew, the trials and principles. I love the history of the vine, the impact of a season, the sentiment in the bottle. That is why I write. I write to tell their stories, to share a piece of mine. I write to learn as I teach others. I write to connect with new friends, to disconnect from the world. I write to celebrate what makes each of us unique, and that which ties us together.
