I just thought of an interesting little competition. While I am gone tripping, please leave a comment, guessing where you think I am and why. And since I will not have access to the Internet, no one will see anyone's answers until I return so there will be no influence one upon another!
I will send a surprise gift to everyone who guesses correctly.
This will be fun, no?
short stories...book excerpts...other writings...upon occasion or as prompted...
The tiger in the water? A representation of my life -- spirit and environment!

About Me
- Elizabeth Mahlou
- I am the mother of 4 birth children (plus 3 others who lived with us) and grandmother of 2, all of them exceptional children. Married for 42 years, I grew up in Maine, live in California, and work in many places in education, linguistics, and program management. In my spare time, I rescue and tame feral cats and have the scars to prove it. A long-time ignorantly blissful atheist converted by a theophanic experience to Catholicism, I am now a joyful catechist. Oh, I also authored a dozen books, two under my pen name of Mahlou (Blest Atheist and A Believer-in-Waiting's First Encounters with God).
My Other Blogs
100th Lamb. This is my main blog, the one I keep most updated.
The Clan of Mahlou. This is background information about various members of the extended Mahlou family. It is very much a work still in progress. Soon I will begin posting excerpts from a new book I am writing, Raising God's Rainbow Makers.
Modern Mysticism. This blog discusses the mystical in our pragmatic, practical, realistic, and rational 21st century world and is to those who spend some or much of their time in an irrational/mystical relationship with God. If such things do not strain your credulity, you are welcome to follow the blog and participate in it.

Recommended Reading List
Because I am blog inept, I don't quite know how to get a reading list to stay at the end of the page and not disappear from sight. Therefore, I entered it as my first post. I suppose that is not all that bad because readers started commenting about the books, even suggesting additional readings. So, you can participate with others in my reading list by clicking here.
I do post additional books as I read them and find them to be meaningful to me, and therefore, hopefully, meaningful to you. One advantage of all the plane traveling I do is that I acquire reading time that I might not otherwise take.

Somewhere remote I think...or where they do not allow internet access!
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth .. methinks .. Bulgaria .. but who knows .. how many guesses can I have ..?
ReplyDeleteCheers and enjoy the trip .. and do some good little business ..
The map is cool too .. where did it come from?
Thanks .. Hilary
Val, yes, definitely remote.
ReplyDeleteHilary, no, not Bulgaria although that would be a great place to go; I have a very good friend there I have not seen in years. (The map I found on the Internet, but I don't recall where.)
The answer? Afghanistan. (I kinda thought no one would guess it, but one of the readers of 100th Lamb did -- either a really lucky guess or that person really knows me well.)
