I like to be prepared. For anything and everything. So I used to lug around a large purse filled with "supplies". Just in case. Until I had an epiphany of sorts. A purse epiphany. It started when a knitting magazine ran a pattern for a small and simple purse. The writer suggested the purse would be the perfect size for carrying back a few shells picked up on the beach. I was thinking that the size might inspire me to travel lighter, free my shoulders of the heavy burden I cast upon them every time I went for even the simplest of outings.
