Charlie Brown had the right idea!!

Hope the New Year brings you all the Good Things, especially those that truly matter like love, lasting friendships, good health and peace of mind.

Don't you just love daisies! I sure do. 

Summer flowers that seem to smile.😁

Stop by my author's site for regular updates and new book promos. 

Seasonal haiku poetry and photos too. 

Wishing You a Happy, Healthy Summer!!!

Are You Ready For Spring?

I sure am!!! 🌷🌷🌷

This winter here in Northern Alberta has been long (already), very cold (even for the Prairies) and with LOTS of snow. I love all four seasons, including winter but I am so ready to see the warmer weather, flowers and clear skies return.

Hope you enjoy this photo and haiku from my Haiku Reflections poetry series.

SPRING: BRING IT ON!!!

My Favorite Season Is On the Way!

One more swim before winter sets in! 

Happy Autumn!

PS: If you came here via a search for a particular product review, please check out the extensive archives. I no longer have time to post reviews here but I am a frequent Vine Voice reviewer at Amazon which keeps me busy!

Spring Is On the Way!!!

 

I haven't posted anything here for a long time. Thought a pretty spring photo and haiku would be a nice update choice today. 

It has been a warm March here in Northern Alberta, to date. Hopefully some much needed snow or rain is on the way. 

Happy Spring and  Lucky St. Paddy's Day too. 

Holiday Wishes and Leaving BC!

 

Hope you will stop by my WordPress blog: Veggies, Yarns & Tails, to read my holiday post for this year and also about a move in progress, and why I am saying "so-long" to the province of BC, after 15 years. 

Happy, Healthy Holidays!!!!

Heartfelt Gifts of Peace and Blessings to You, in 22"

After this most difficult past 2 years, I send my heartfelt good wishes and blessings to all  my blog readers, past and present.

 May 2022 be the start of the end of this Covid nightmare that has gripped the world, month after month. Hard to believe it has continued for all this time.

I have been coping as well as I can. Trying to immerse myself in creative projects, losing myself in happier thoughts and good memories too.

On the plus side, I have gotten back to writing after a very long hiatus!

I have a new Kindle eBook, now available at all Amazon sites:

A "straight from the heart"  "no punches pulled" work that has been percolating in my mind for a long time.  

I hope you'll check it out and that you find it helpful in your own life and struggles with regrets. 

Stop by my author's site anytime for all my book promo updates. This is now my most active site/blog, which I still update on a regular basis.

Take care, Stay Safe, Healthy and Hopeful. 

So Long 2020 and Happy 2021 to You!

 

I hope 2021 is a MUCH better year, for all of us.

Stop by at my cooking and craft blog, to read my full holiday and year- end post here. 

PS: Mr. Cheddar and I are both fine and have weathered 2020 so far, with no big issues. He sends his best "Meooooowwws" to you too. 😀

Blogging Update 2020!

I hope your New Year is off to a great start!

I’ve decided to take a hiatus from all blogging, for the foreseeable future.

May be back, may not. I’ve learned from past experience, never say never, especially when it comes to blogging.

Just too much to do and every day seems to go faster than the one before it. Trips to plan, including another big move, still working on unpacking and sorting here, numerous projects, writing, crafting….the list goes on and on.I

 

**Contact information at all my blogs/site (including for review requests) WILL remain active.**

I wish all of my blog friends, past and present, the best year ever! 😊

Blogger Update and Back to WordPress!

Hope you are having a wonderful summer so far. 

Here on Vancouver Island we've been having picture perfect weather, day after day. 😊 Hopefully, we will be spared the heat wave that is now moving West.

The unpacking goes on and on....but we can now see an end in sight. 

Have already given away over 50 boxes of clothes, household goods, books....and at least another 50 more to come. It's hard to part with some stuff but at the same time, so liberating!😉

I've made some blogging decisions too. 

I'm putting, My Real Life Reviews,

on hiatus.

I will still be posting reviews on a regular basis at Amazon Canada, where I am a Top 500 reviewer and Vine Voice member and at Amazon.com, but that is all for now, in terms of reviews.

If you are stopping by to request a review, check out the information for review requests first, see top of this page for more information. I am still accepting review requests for consideration, but only if your book or product is currently available at Amazon sites.

I will continue to post periodically at my author's site re: upcoming Amazon promotions, personal updates, projects in progress...

I've also decided to " resurrect " my two WordPress blogs in the near future:

Veggies, Yarns &Tails, 

and

My Poetic Path

I have missed posting recipes, craft projects, Mr. Cheddar updates, poetry....so this seemed like the right move for my blogging pursuits. will be trying for weekly posting over there.

I also have a lot more followers at those blogs and many WP blogs that I follow too, so it feels like a good move. Never say never, especially when it comes to blogs and blogging!😉 

I still love blogging but it's time for a change. Hope you'll stop by over at my other blogs, sometime soon. 

So, it's Goodbye (for now) My Real Life Reviews♥

and

  Hello (again)WordPress!😁

Early Summer Greetings!

Hope your spring days have been happy ones so far, and now summer is just around the corner. 😊

I can't believe how fast the time has gone since my last post, pre- move.

As expected, moving was tiring and stressful but so glad to be getting settled in our new home. We are still living on Vancouver Island, just moved down the Island a bit.😂

The "big unpack" continues. We had a lot of stuff in storage for years that we are finally unpacking. Some treasures, some trash. Have already given away a lot of stuff with more to come. 

It feels SO good to downsize and to hopefully help someone else in need, with these donations. Don't have the time or inclination to bother with garage sales.

We have a BIG move planned within a couple of years. This purge will certainly make that one a lot easier, when it happens.

I've really scaled back on my online time but look forward to visiting my favorite blogs soon.

🌸Happy Summer to All!👒

On the Move !!

We are moving at the end of this month (but not by bike, I just like that photo!!)😁 Also looking forward to a long overdue holiday. 

Lots of stuff still to do so I won't be blogging until things settle down again.

In the meantime, I wish you all a beautiful, early spring and I look forward to visiting my favorite blogs, as time permits.

I'm also looking forward to getting back to my writing, after this move is over. It's been a trying time, this past couple of years and a lot of the things I really enjoy have been put on hold. Looking forward to happier, more creative days ahead and soon!

Here's to a Happy, Sunny Spring!!

Spring Fever Has Hit (Early!!!)

Happy (Almost) Spring!

    

How's your weather been?

Here on Vancouver Island, it's been mild but lots of rainy, dark days. 

I am so ready for spring, even though it's not even February yet. 

How about you? Has spring fever hit???

Hope you have a wonderful week. 😀
