The story behind the blog

A happy puppy, Asha trots beside Marilyn Webster, her human walking companion.

Dog + Woods = Blog + Podcast

After Asha and I started walking in the woods, stories about our walks wiggled their way into the email posts I write for Whimsy & Tea, my weaving business. I love writing about Asha, and the stories brought moments of insight and delight to those who read and wrote comments.

I also shared Asha stories with a women’s coaching group. They loved listening and encouraged me to embrace myself as a storyteller and tell my stories with a wider audience, in both written and spoken form.

I feel like I’m answering a call — first a call to walk in the woods and now a call to write.

I don’t have a plan. Or a map.

Just a desire to share.

And so I’m approaching this website the way I explore new trails — with a healthy dose of let’s see where this takes us.

I’ve gifted myself the following permissions with this website:

  1. Start and let this website evolve. What matters is that I show up here with my stories and see what happens.
  2. Write what wants to be written whether or not it’s about a walk with Asha.
  3. Publish when I have stories that want to be shared. It could be several times in one month or once every few months or something in between.

Get new stories delivered to your inbox.

You’ll receive the full story in your email along with links to listen or read online each time a new story is written and recorded. From time to time you’ll also receive selected Field Notes, short curated pieces from my journals.

 

You can read my privacy policy here.

 

Your voice helps me settle into storytime, which is one of the most loving, safe and calm places for me to be.
