Sandy was managing an art gallery in Taos, and felt she was done and needed to make a change. The next day the owner came in and told her he was closing the gallery. She needed some work, but decided to take a little time off. A few days later, she got a phone call from the copy editor at the Taos News. Virginia said, "I had a note on my computer that you called and you are a freelance writer looking for work." Sandy replied, "Yes, I am." The editor told her to bring samples by and talk to her. Sandy had never called and left that message, but somehow a note with her phone number had ended up on the editor's computer. Mysterious synchronicity. After reviewing Sandy's samples, Virginia gave Sandy a dozen articles to write. Pdfs of those articles are below. Taos News Special Edition

When Sandy first arrived in Taos in 2006, she contacted the Horse Fly News as a writer and proposed a healing arts section called the ButterFly. The owner, Bill Whaley, was hesitant at the time, but showed some interest. In 2008 when she had just stopped writing for the Taos News, she was in the DragonFly Restaurant, and Bill walked in. Sandy recognized all the converging fly energy as auspicious, so she repeated her offer to create a section, sell the advertising, and write the content. He agreed, and the articles below resulted.
