I never intended to
I'm so thrilled to be a guest on Helen Hollick's blog today.
Helen has been a wonderful encouragement and support since the very beginning of my journey as an author - before I'd even thought of writing historical fiction. I've been blown away by her kindness.
Indeed, I never intended to be a writer at all. It just sort of fell into place somehow. And if you'd be lovely enough too support me by vis Read more of this blog post »

Here you go, though I must admit I have allowed poetic licence, as the last thing I want to do when I am feeling ill is to have visitors. However it was an attempt to explain why I so often have to turn down invitations and don't want to talk.
I hope you enjoy it.
“Just Understand Me!
If you would be a friend to me
Then sit with me awhile
And share the silence that I speak
And understand when I am weak
And warm me with your smile
If you would be a friend to me
Then understand my pain
Don’t chat and ask me to reply
Don’t shake your head and wonder why
Just be with me and, by and by,
I’ll be myself again”
Excerpt From: Livingstone, Loretta. “Fire And Ice A Book Of Verse.” Blurb.

Bless you, it is lovely to meet you, too. I have a poem about ME in one of my books. I will share it with you when I have a few minutes, later today. God bless.
“Love must face reality, if it is to survive"I love that quote because it's true. Thank you for your invite it's a relief to meet a fellow sufferer of M.E. I don't feel so alone as it is such a rare condition that no-body I know has it.
Wishing you the very best in your health and your writing:)Keep strong.
