    Love what little I have read so far! You write beautifully! Look forward to more…..and the coffee:-)

    1. Thank you! I am really looking forward to exploring your archives. I love history and I love to travel, and you capture both so beautifully.

  2. Gilly Gee says:

    Naomi thanks for visiting my blog and for your really lovely comment, I’m very flattered!

  3. I just read through your posts back to January, loving them – travel, history, personal insights – and I’m now looking for a way to subscribe to your blog by email, but can’t find any subscription possibilities. Do you have a widget I’m not seeing? Can you add one please?

    1. Hi Jennifer–thanks for your sweet comment. Up on top of the blog there is a black bar that says ‘Follow.’ I hope you can find it; it would be great to stay in touch. I am still learning the blog technology–I only just learned how to link. But i still need to learn how to add a widget. I will see if I can figure that out. I’m taking baby steps, but always in the right direction. Thank you for your patience!

      1. Thanks, Naomi. I”m subscribed now.

    Cute!

    Of course, nothing reveals us more than our regular post, eh?

    Jamie

  8. thanks for the like. I’m signing up.

    1. Howdy! You have a whacky sense of humor that I enjoy. Seeing Baldy reminded me of Last summer. On the way home from the Canadian Rockies, my husband and I stopped in at The Amazing One of a Kind Museum in Spokane, Washington. It was worth the trip. All over the museum, among the other exhibits, there were stuffed squirrels in canoes, in firetrucks, flying overhead in little airplanes. Thanks for the follow. I look forward to your next post.

  9. Thanks for signing up! Glad you’ve liked it so far. Hope it continues.

I am also the co-author of a historical novel, The Keeper of the Crystal Spring, a Doubleday Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and a couple other non-fiction storytelling books.

  58. That–if I may say so–is a great bio! It says so much.

  59. Dace says:

    I have been coming to this page and waiting for that virtual cup of coffee and a little more information on you. One thing is to imagine and assume based on how you write and what you right about but totally something else when you tell your own story…

    No pressure but I am waiting to be able to say – Hi, Naomi, nice to meet you. Of course, I can say that any time but …

  60. hilal achmar says:

    You upload posts and beautiful photos. Beauty makes the heart calm, peace makes life beautiful ….. You have both …… 🙂

  61. HIiiiiiiii!
    I don’t know if you’ve seen my blog recently, but you are one of the four winners from my competition.
    Congratulations!

    If you’d just let me know what sort of file type you’d like (.mobi or .epub) I’ll have a copy of Vicki & Lara sent out to you on or around 13 October 2013.

    Thanks again for commenting on my blog. Interaction means everything!

  62. White, couple of sugars, thanks sweetie 😉

  63. Hey Naomi,

    Thanks for reading Generation Passport over the last year. I tend to write more than I read blogs. I wanted you to know that I have switched to a self-hosted website, but you can still find me at Generation Passport [dot] com. Thanks for all of your support over the last read. I really appreciate it!

    I’m working on switching over hundreds of WordPress.com users so I can appear in the WordPress.com feed, again. It will probably happen within the next month when the tech support is back up at .com Thanks again, and I really appreciate your comments and positive support.

  64. Hi Naomi,
    I’m planning another anthology this year. Would love you to participate if you’re interested. Send me an email: lisakwinkler@gmail.com

  65. Hello!
    Thank you for following my blog. I know how many interesting blogs are out there and feel honored that you picked mine to follow. I hope my stories entertain and inform and my photos bring you joy and wonderment.
    I travel mostly local but try to always find interesting places. I have lived in several different places and dig through my archives of photos to bring glimpses into places I have been. Sometimes I post a recipe because food tells a lot about culture.

Thank you and sorry, Have a nice day, Love, nia

    1. Thank you, Nia! I just tried to go see your blog, and it said I couldn’t because it was private. I look forward to being back in touch. Love, Naomi
