Hi, I’m Linda Richison and welcome to my website. Let me tell you a little about myself.   I reside in Salem, Oregon with my four loving Pomeranian companions. Yes, I said four. Crazy? Maybe – long story.  Salem is in the heart of the Willamette Valley (wine country).  It is nestled between the coastal sandy beaches and the high mountain range.  Fifty miles, on either side, offers an escape from the hectic city life. My life can tend to get busy at times, so I try to balance work, spending time with family and friends, writing, reading, dancing, and cuddling with my furbabies. I enjoy being outdoors. On warm days, you’ll find me hiking on the many beautiful trails in Oregon or camping alongside the river.  It’s all about connecting with the earth; a time to bond with Mother Nature and put the worries and hectic life aside for a bit. You can also catch me at the beach, escaping from the craziness. The feeling of the sand between the toes, the sound of the rolling waves and colorful painted sunsets put me in a tranquil and serene state. 

My passion would have to be helping people. It’s humbling to be able to give and support those in need. I recently lost my husband and I was blessed, and it filled my heart, to have so many caring people offer their love and support. I hope someday that I can be there for them and give back what I was graciously and unselfishly given.   To sum-up my life, I’d have to say I wake up every day, thankful for another chance to live, and excited for the new adventure; always striving to keep a physical, emotional, and spiritual balance.  Sometimes it’s a challenge juggling my daily schedule, added to what the universe decides to add to my daily routine, but life is all about learning, growing and stretching and I believe there’s always an opportunity on the horizon.
