In Where the Wind Wills, D. Flower soars with the eagles while trekking in the Himalayas, she meets with a famous healer in Brazil to prepare for a year in Africa, and dances with dust devils while living in a grass-roofed hut in Kenya. She learns the Maasai tribal ways while documenting ancient sacred ceremonies, crawls through stinging nettles in Rwanda to look into the eyes of mountain gorillas, and flirts with death on the Omo River in Ethiopia. All the while navigating on one of the toughest roads -love. Upon her return to the United States, she volunteered for a challenging assignment -a public relations specialist for FEMA during the Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts. Through all the ups and downs, twists and turns she encountered, she emerged as a fiercely independent woman confident and flexible, changeable and free; committed to continuing to journey wherever the wind wills…
About the Author
D. began traveling around the world when she trekked in the Himalayas to celebrate the Millennium. A safari to Kenya in 2003 and a one-year stay began a long relationship with the continent of Africa. As a Certified Interpreter trainer (CIT) for NAI, she provided training for fifty-five safari guides in Kenya. After an early retirement as a park ranger, she traveled to over forty countries on six continents and has only taken a temporary break due to the pandemic in 2019-2022. In June of 2013 she organized a trip to South Sudan to acquaint herself with the environment and the democratic government of Africa’s newest nation and to make plans for a library and museum. In December of 2013 a Civil War broke out in South Sudan and all plans had to be put on hold. In 2014 she arranged a trip to Kakuma, the refugee camp in Northern Kenya that housed many of the Lost Boys & Girls of Sudan until their reunification into other countries and cultures began in 2000.
“Exploring Rural Africa,” was the cover story in the 2006 Legacy May/June, the magazine of the NAI, the edition titled, Interpretation Overseas. She was the guest editor of the Kasigau Conservationist, a newsletter promoting conservation in the Tsavo area of Kenya in 2004. She has written travel articles for the District Digest, River Rumors, and Priest River Times.
Recently she traveled to Spain for the ‘running of the bulls,’ Morocco to ride on camels in the desert, Cuba to connect with the local communities, and Iceland twice to experience the natural world.
When not traveling, exhibiting her photos, or fulfilling speaking engagements, she assists individuals with disabilities and finds enriching employment in the community with New Visions Vocational Services, and supports medical students at Vanderbilt University through the experiential learning program CELA.
D. Flower is a graduate of Kent State University and resides in Nashville, Tennessee
