Thank you to everyone who came out to my going away potluck Sunday night. It was a real pleasure to be surrounded by such a lovely, diverse group — and so much delicious food. The evening reminded me, once again, what an amazing place I'm leaving, and please know that I do so with a bit of a heavy heart. To everyone I didn't get to see before I took off, thank you as well for making my time in Haywood County so special. I am forever changed. If you'd like to keep in touch (and I would), you can reach me at stinawork@gmail.com or see my blog at www.stinasieg.com.
