I’ve got a big old case of writer’s block. Not exactly exciting news to share but there it is. The truth. To be honest, I know the reason. I haven’t been focusing on blogging these past few months. Somehow I’ve let life get in the way of getting words down on the page screen. Doh. … Continued

Wordless Wednesday: Summer Vacation
These two photos were taken this afternoon by our neighbour in her beautiful garden. Bliss!

100 years of celebration
Today is International Women’s Day. And this day matters. Contrary to what some may say about gender inequalities no longer existing, they do.
