You probably have guessed it. The business of finding new and interesting ideas for myself and my readers is taking a toll on me. Honestly, I just have not been excited or feel inspired by many of the things I have found lately. Thought that browsing through my travel photos might help and it did. It provided a temporary cure and a longing for another adventure.
In any case I hope you hang in there while I ponder this dilemma.

Whenever I visit a Shinto temple in Japan I always purchase prayer charms called Omamori. Usually they are made from silk crepe fabric decorated with kanji and traditional Japanese symbols. They have become fashionable accessories again but the designs are now more contemporary and colorful such as these manufactured by Felissimo, Japan.

“The traveler who has gone to Italy to study the tactile values of Giotto, or the corruption of the Papacy, may return remembering nothing but the blue sky and the men and women who live under it.” - E.M. Forster
