Who Would Have Thought…..

Who would have thought that building a website could be that complicated? Well, certainly not me!! OK, I’ve had a website since 1996. In fact, I’ve had several websites over the years, when products were just listed for viewing and shopping carts weren’t a necessity. I actually built a few of these sites, myself, using […]

Stripes…

Our writing word for a while now has been “stripes.” I don’t know why it has taken me so long to get a post together. I think that even in gorgeous summer weather people struggle with priorities. What needs to be done, what one wants done, what one would like to be doing…the list goes

Card(s)…

Our writing word for today is “card.” It’s my suggestion, because last week was a week of “cards.” First my husband finally got a Presto card. Our local transit system, the TTC, is phasing out money and tokens in favour of electronic cards that you top-up on-line and then use to board trains and buses,

I am committed…

Our writing word for today is “commit.” It reminds me that I am committed to enhancing and enjoying whatever time I have left on this amazing planet. I work, for example, at keeping my mind active – I read, play the piano and write. I take on projects – I design and sew clothing, I

Fantasy…

Our writing word for today is “fantasy.” I often say that I never read fantasy fiction. I will never read Lord of the Rings, for example, and I have never watched Game of Thrones or Outlander. For years, I never even read regular fiction. I only wanted to read true stories. Somewhere along the road,

Rich….

Our writing word for today is “rich.” I’ve never felt the need to be rich in the sense of monetary wealth. My idea of a rich life is having many varied experiences, embellishing and adorning what I have and finding a motherlode of wealth in the freedoms many have fought so hard to protect. We

Key…

Our writing word for today is “key.” It’s a word I gave to the writing challenge and it came to mind because I am “key” challenged. I have more keys than locks. I have little tubs of keys, scattered throughout the house, which belonged to locks at one time – but damned if I can

Implications….

Our writing word for today is “implications” – a word that covers so many different areas that I feel I have to narrow it a little. For years I have been fascinated with the implications of body language. There are so many subtle signs we make daily that send so many different messages. We all

Willow

Our writing word for a while now has been “willow.” I’m not sure why it has taken me so long to find time to write up a short post on a tree with long leaves and longer branches, especially since it was my word. I offered “willow” as a word because of the concept of

The Power of Wisps!

Our writing word for today is “wisp.” To me much of what makes life enjoyable are small “wisps” of “things.” I am sitting here beside two pink peonies that are very fragrant. I inhale a wisp of their perfume, from time to time. It is subtle, like the spray of lilac that nods across my
