Is it really almost September?

It has been a Rollercoaster of a summer and I never even went to a theme park!

The ups? I had some time to unwind and relax, I spent time at the cottage and wrote. I took a trip out west to B.C. and was inspired by the beautiful landscape and mountains.

The lows? I... Read more of this blog post »
