December 2021 Self-Love Sunday

Dearest Readers, Did I miss two consecutive months of Self-Love Sundays? Yes. Did I start posts each month and abandon them? Also yes.

Us in August – A Self-Love Note

Dear Readers, How have you been? I have had a busier August than usual, having traveled (by vehicle) to see my nieces and nephew. According to Google Maps it was a 28 hour drive, but that did not figure in pit stops. And with my sister as my travel companion, there are pit stops a …

Self-Love Sunday March

Dearest Readers, How have you been? March is a busy month for me, as four out of the six of my family members all have birthdays this month. It is exhausting and yet fun. (One of the reasons why I am not a fan of cake - as every March for many, many, many years …

I Always Knew – Writing Prompt Wednesday

I always knew he'd find me eventually. I just didn't know it would be like this. A small part of me, a teeny-tiny voice in the back of my mind hoped he would. It would mean he had never stopped looking for me. Never given up. But in reality, finding me was an accident. Perhaps …
