Very sorry to find out that you, Viki Karen Atkinson passed away untimely last May. I knew you were sick and sometimes were unable to write your blog. It has been a long time since you published one. I was afraid to check, was hoping you were still hanging in there and recovering. But that was not the case.
My condolences to your family and friends.
You came regularly into my email with your blog Pathwriter which introduced me to a wealth of inspirational writers and thinkers that improved my life and opened a whole universe of possibilities.
You had spunk and energy. You welcomed many challenges and adventures. I admire your resourcefulness and creativity. Your back patio makeup was amazing.
I am thankful to you for the gift of your blog and will miss it.
