I received A Woman’s Path today as a birthday present! It looks fabulous and can’t wait to dive in…

Thanks, Kelly! AWP was the first editing project I had with Travelers’ Tales. I hope you like it. Have a great birthday!

Jen is too modest to mention that SHE won a ForeWord gold medal for A Woman’s Path–she is co-editor of that excellent book.

Thanks, James. (blush)
And yes folks, Path is one of my favorite Travelers’ Tales books. The book is about the fullness of life as much as it is about travel. To hear true stories of awakening on the road is humbling.
