Spunky Maggie Toussaint Kayaks in a Rice Plantation Canal


Slow and steady wins the race every time. I’ve seen people flash in and out of churchs, careers, marriages, and hobbies because they were always in such a hurry.

They get so busy chasing a dream they forget about commitment.

In the picture of me kayaking in a Civil War era rice plantation canal, I’m relaxing on the water.

There’s no point in paddling fast in these backwater areas because you’ll miss something, a delicate flower, a fluttering butterfly, a soaring eagle, a solitary heron, or even a shy alligator watching you from across the creek.
When you take a kayak trip, you commit to the whole adventure – there’s no bailing out halfway. And if you’re multi-tasking like me, you’ll get to write off the cost of the fun as research for your next book. — Maggie Toussaint
