to inspire is to live well.
i am so truly honored that i have managed to inspire a few of you.

a hearty thank you for visiting the port2port and port2port press blogs since early 2005.

in closing, i wish you nothing but simple goodness, truth and bright bursts of light in your head which tell you that you're on the right path.

as i said, i know we'll meet again soon.

yours as ever, mav

p.s. is this enough 'blue table' to keep you for a while? :)

I feel quite sad reading this, even though I'm 1 of the 100s of admirers of that blue table. I've said it many times but you have certainly inspired me but I just wish I had 1 ounce of your talent. Best of luck with everything you do, and I hope that we get to share a little of it.

Maria! Yours was one of the first blogs I found after graduating - out adrift in the world ;)...inspiration doesn't really even cover what you have offered people, offered me...and I have so loved watching your business, and your work, grow over the last few years...

I am so proud of you and all the amazing things you have achieved - and your seamless and unendingly lovely approach to authenticity {of message, design} is truly remarkable...most of all, I am just proud to call you my friend.

Love you, dear one. xo

Thank you, Maria. I do believe you've got a bit of magic in your blood. And while I've seen plenty of efforts to mimic what you do -- your brilliant mix of imagery, sense of calm and quiet, even your blue table -- you are a singular force.
Here's hoping the next time I walk by More (twice, over the last few months!) I can pop in to say hi.
And I'm really, really looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Thank you for the inspiration,
