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 #38 #MerryChristmas!

Greetings, friends and family. This will be my last regular post for the year. I will be on a blogging break while I work on my Top Ten best reads for 2025 list and other things that I'll be sharing with you. Our author community is grieving for the loss of Joan Hall. She passed …

Monday Meanderings #37

Hello, friends! Last week flew by in a blur. I swear time is moving faster. But now we are fully into the Christmas season with trees, decorations and lights everywhere. I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but it's turned cold here. I finally had to give in and switch on …

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 #35

Happy Monday! Thanks for joining me again as I meander through life with you. This image drew me. I'd like to head down that road and see where it leads. Created in Canva I'm happy to report the four days I stayed with my granddaughters and the two dogs went smoothly. However, I was more …

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 …

Monday Meanderings #32

Happy Monday, and the last Monday in October! It appears the only consistent day I can blog is Mondays. I keep thinking I should do more and then before I know it, the week is gone. Last week was nothing more than a blur. I'm not sure I took the time to take a breath, …

Monday Meanderings #31

Happy Monday, friends. When I saw this image, I had the strongest urge to wander down that highway. Created in Canva I hope everyone is doing okay today. It's been somewhat of a quiet week here last week so I don't have a lot to share. My daughter and family went to Broken Bow, Oklahoma …
