I explore the joy of writing such notes, cards and journals in my latest blog for Hooker Furniture. I hope it inspires you in your own creative writing as you enjoy your time with family friends.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Nancy
From the desk of the founding editor of VICTORIA magazine
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI have a quick question about your blog, do you think you could e-mail me?
Brian
I just found your blog and am delighted beyond measure!! I have been reading Victoria since I was a girl. A subscription was my birthday present from my parents every year. :-) I collected every issue and read it from back to front over and over, memorizing the names of writers and photographers until they were like old friends. :-) As a teenager my life turned upside down after a series of traumatic events hit. It got worse and worse yet through it all, your magazine was there to comfort and restore my soul. I was so sad when you were no longer the editor. The comfort of your work was missing in the new. In 2011 I was able to find the courage to start my life over. I moved to Europe, then Australia, and now have a most beloved life with my dear man, a farm full of goats, and a career as a freelance writer and photographer. I always wondered what happened to you, hoping your life was rich and beautiful. :-) Phew. Sorry for such a long response, but it did my heart much good to see you here today. :-) Wishing you much happiness in the year to come. xo
ReplyDeleteI am delighted that you have not only a year but a fulfilling life and career to look forward to. If Victoria had a speck to do with it, that is most rewarding to hear. But I suspect that it is what is within you that is the true story.
DeleteDon't be said about my not being the editor. I had a lovely run and left which I believe to be a good body of work. And I continue to keep my hand in, so to speak.
My very best to you. Nancy
