MONDAY MEANDERINGS #9

Hello, everyone! Boy, do I have a lot to meander about today. Are you shocked? Here in the south, fruit trees are starting to bud out. I think winter is over. We may have another cold spell but no more winter. Spring is a time of renewal and that is fitting for my newly designed …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #6

It's Valentine's Day week. I love everything to do with love and not just on Valentine's Day, but if you have someone special to share it with, enjoy! It's Monday again, already. 🙂 I won't even say it. I was meandering through my own mind and found myself wondering why I have a strong tendency …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #4 2026

Happy Monday. The biggest theme of the day (for the past few days) is the weather. I took this photo from my balcony. That's ice, not snow. The entire area is a skating rink! I have a lot to talk about today. It's been a whirlwind of a week! Remember I've been looking at cars? …

Monday Meanderings #3 – 2026

I hate to say it, because it seems we all say it too much, but the days and weeks keep on zooming by. Time is a man-made illusion and yet something that rules our lives. Happy Monday! I had the inspiration this week for a new story. It's so exciting when that happens, isn't it? …

Hello, dear friends. I hope this Monday finds you healthy, happy and creating! With so much sickness going around and so much turmoil in the world, I feel blessed to be showing up with you today to share. I'm already questioning my decision to blog three times a week, but what the heck. I'm moving …

Monday Meanderings #1 2026

Hello, everyone! I'm back! While I enjoyed the blogging break, I'm happy to be back at it. I have a lot to catch you up on, but I'll try to be brief. The space between Thanksgiving and Christmas was nothing more than a blur. I worked a lot, but thankful for the opportunity. However, my …

Monday Meanderings #36 #Thanksgiving

Hello, dear friends. This is Thanksgiving week in the U.S. and many of us will be gathering with family to celebrate the holiday. There is always SO much to be thankful for on any given day, but even more powerful when we combine our thanks with others. This past week has been a little different …

Monday Meanderings #34

Hello, friends! It's Monday again. Did last week fly by or what? It did for me. When my husband was alive, he'd often take my hands in his and say, "these little hands do so much." I never appreciated that small gesture as much as I should have. There were lots of little things I …

Monday Meanderings #33

Happy first Monday of November! While chaos continues to remain prevalent across the globe, I've found a bit of peace inside myself that I cling to. I say prayers daily for all those in need and suffering. And I never fail to count my blessings. I love that the time has changed back to standard …
