Eleanor K. Sommer has an extensive background as a journalist, writer, editor, and publisher. During the past 15 years she has pursued her interest in holistic healing through the exploration of the literary arts and healing, focusing especially on the role of writing and storytelling as an adjunct to the healing process.
Before moving to Gainesville in 1994, she founded and published a regional business in southwest Florida. Her articles have been published nationally and in the state of Florida extensively.
From her back porch in north central Florida, she revels in the views and sounds of a uniquely diverse landscape including sand hill, mixed hardwoods wetland, and a lovely creek that empties into an important area watershed. She shares this land with all the critters who live here, with the ghosts of Native Americans who lived here previously, and with my husband and our 108-pound, crazy yellow Lab-German shepherd mix, Max, who believes he still a puppy (think Marley!).
Living close to Paynes Prairie means affords a privileged connection with both resident and visitor Sandhill Crane. Ms. Sommer says she never tires of their distinctive call and uses their flybys as impetus to get away from the computer and stretch her legs while watching them in formation overhead as they fly to or from the prairie.
