Me, briefly
Or not briefly
I’ve always had a lot to say. I guess it’s the Gemini life. Words fascinate me, irritate me, and inspire me.
If you’ve landed here, I am grateful. If you like what you read on my blog “Belonging” then check back for more, and follow me on the interwebs of Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky. LinkedIn. I’m always just Jill Holter.
“I’d have . . . rooms piled with books, and I’d write out of a magic inkstand, so that my works should be as famous as Laurie’s music. I want to do something splendid before I go into my castle – something heroic or wonderful – that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead. I don’t know what, but I’m on the watch for it, and mean to astonish you all, some day. I think I shall write books, and get rich and famous; that would suit me, so that is my favorite dream.”
Jo March, from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
