Inspiration Books have lead me to many lands and introduced me to new customs, ideas, and dreams. Nature was a constant childhood friend. The birds especially seemed to include me in their daily lives and joys. Since I was small for my age, I could hide in a small place, be very small, and see the most wonderful things happen. Even during boring work there was a saucy mockingbird out the window or a conquering inch worm planting a flag on my brother's headboard. One day I discovered Nonieland, changed my name to Nonie and spent as much time there as possible. I led friends there, I worked there. My children, nieces and young friends were frequent visitors. Now I want all friendly, happy, magical people to visit here too.
