MONDAY MEANDERINGS #14 – 2026

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #5 2026

Happy Monday and Happy February. Things are finally beginning to thaw here. The roads are clear but there are still thick patches of ice where the sun can't reach. I did a fun experiment during my hibernation. I needed to cook a meal and didn't know what I wanted, so I asked ChatGPT for suggestions. …

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, 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 …

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 #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, …
