A New Normal–Is It Ever Really Normal?

Have you ever wakened from a dream crying so hard that your chest hurt and after you looked at your clock and padded to the bathroom and back again to your bed you found that you still couldn’t breathe? Have heart-splitting sobs escaped from your throat even while you searched for a tissue to catch the tears spilling down your […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Window

This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge theme is “Window”, and the rules state that I can interpret this to mean anything I want, so naturally, I’m stepping outside the box (but not outside my home cause it’s freezing rain out there), for my picture challenge. An old proverb says, “The eyes are the window to the […]

Here She Comes Again

Here I am again, with another attempt to be a good little blogger and do what I keep promising I will do–and that is to blog again on a regular basis the way I used to. I can certainly empathize with smokers who have resolved to quit that habit but have trouble sticking to their […]

This summer I’ve spent a lot of time at my cottage, and a huge part of my summer routine has been to walk on the beach for an hour and a half or so every day that the weather permits. I love walking on my beach; I look for sea glass and pottery shards that […]

Ah, yes, Spring…the time of year when a young man’s fancy turns to love and a not-so-young woman’s thoughts turn to the overpowering smell of cow-sh*t, in polite society referred to as ’manure‘ in the air. I live in a small town in Atlantic Canada….a town on the border between the two provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, [...]

Announcing Spring and My Return to Blogging

Hi everyone–I know that I haven’t written a blog post for ages and can’t really think of an extra good reason to explain that lapse except to say that I was suffering from a combination of winter blues, a fibromyalgia flare-up, a bad dose of flu that lingered for weeks and a blogging block (exactly [...]

A Valentine’s Day Letter

Warning: Usually I write blog posts in the hopes of bringing a smile to your face and a chuckle to your throat, but not always. It depends on the subject matter. And since today is Valentine’s Day, a day for tears … Continue reading →

Shoes and Glass Slippers

Recently I had to find a cover image for a book I had completed, and I was drawn to this image of a little girl, wearing what I’m guessing are her mom’s best pearls and standing with her feet in … Continue reading →

Why Am I Dreaming Of Cruises Today?

Today I am dreaming of taking a cruise, possibly a lovely ten-day Caribbean one to exotic islands such as Antigua, St. Kitts, St. Lucia and Barbados. A (girl) friend of mine has offered to go with me and we would … Continue reading →
