Yesterday, I sent you part I of my exchange with Holly Starley , who operates a blog called Holly Starley’s Rolling Desk, a clever take-off, since she lives most of the year vagabonding in her van. This year Holly has decided to spend the winter in a cabin in Oregon, and since I’ve decided to spend the winter in my cabin in Michigan, we thought it would be fun to talk about our lives as women living alone in the woods. (
Yesterday, I made comment on Constant Commoner, so today I'll leave some reflections here. What I most want to know is when you and Holly plan to meet in person? Is Holly rolling Ruby into your neck of the woods when her winter cabin-time is done? Are you teaming up for a week in the van?
In all seriousness, this has been a fun conversation to follow, and I love how the two of you have found ways to highlight your strengths in the questions you asked and answered. The work you each have planned is laudable, though I admit that it feels like a stage I'll never be able to get to. Trying to focus on the potential!
Thanks for sharing Part 2 of this great conversation.
Ramona, I appreciate that you see yourself as the den mother of a bunch of writers as I think we all look up to you with respect for your writing and life wisdom. I REALLY (shouty words) appreciate your suggestion of how to show up bravely. I'm writing them down to read frequently.
Holly, I am envious (in a good way) of your content plan and how you are linking essays together to service the whole. That is a task I want to do, to sit down and pull it together for myself. I think doing so will offer clarity for my work and yet I am struggling to get it done.
Sleeping in the car on a road trip makes me feel both cozy & free, a little bit nervous & a lot exhilarated. Thanks for these interesting interviews!

Thank you, both! Thank you.
Can so identify with the vulnerable you feel as you get older and just are not as physically capable as you once were.
