Following a luncheon date with a friend, I’ll call her R, I texted her a thank you; shared how much I’d enjoyed our visit. She concurred, and expressed how crazy it was that we met where we did, when we did, each of us ending up at the same location through circumstance–hers sad, mine out …

Keep Going
Have you read The Secret? I did. Years ago. And it resonated with me; the whole idea of creating the world you want through vision and belief. How else can you do it? When I sit down to write a one-hundred-thousand (plus?) word novel, I do so without certainty of what words I’ll use. Or …

Platters of Memories…
Today’s been a busy day. Hub’s returned from hunting with a ton of dirty laundry, and we’ve decided to sell the camper, which means a complete unloading of all contents. All contents. Complete. This led to a complete reorganization of my house. There is a lot more in a 9′ camper than one might believe. …

Angel Riding Shotgun
I make frequent trips to the Kootenays. When I lived in the Kootenays, I routinely traveled to the lower mainland. In the twenty-two years I’ve zipped between the two regions, I’ve never had car trouble. Until yesterday. I took the long way home yesterday via Hwy 6 to Hwy 1, because I had to meet …

Summer Tidings
Summer is my favorite season. The hotter the better. While my dear hubs grumbles and lumbers around like a polar bear meandering the Sahara in search of water and shade, I bask like a lizard in the glow of 90+ degrees. I would make a good Tropical transplant. Hubs, not so much. This summer is …

What the…
Where did summer go? One minute I was blogging here, the next it was September and I was–am–in my brother’s basement suite. Temporarily. What a summer. After two years of Limbo–and yes, that’s limbo with a capital L–the house sold, we packed all our belongings into three storage units, moved into our camper, and viewed a …

June!
June is finally here! I love this month as it kicks off summer, my favorite season. And what’s not to love? Sun, sand, and for some, surf. And what compliments sun, sand and surf so well (besides sunscreen and frosty cold ones)? That’s right, books! And here is a short list from my TBR pile …

Update and Friday Fiction
December was a dud as far as writing went. Vertigo is not conducive to standing in front of a computer screen. But in terms of family and hubby time, December was fantastic. January is proving a tad interesting as the vertigo has changed from constant, to sporadic, and I never know when I’ll wake …

Celebrate Friday
Celebrate the Small Things Friday! I’ve been MIA most of the summer, busy with daughter’s wedding, multiple long road trips, and attempting to sell the house, the first of which came to a successful and oh, so wonderful conclusion–I have an awesome son-in-law!; the second plum wore me out; and the latter proved less than successful. And yet I’m …

Live. Laugh. Love.
Live. Laugh. Love. These three words crown the French doors leading to my deck. I put them there, in plain view of the living room sofa and recliner, to remind me what’s important in life. When things get tough, as they do at times, I only need to look up: Live, Laugh, Love. And I do. Deborah …
