#manifestingthroughmay BLOSSOMS - One word can bring forth pictures and a song. Words are powerful. #blossoms #africanviolet #cyclamen #jamestaylor #photochallenge #taleswithfriends#manifestingthroughmay I'm tooting my own horn here.😂 I think I'm an AWE-INSPIRING person. This photo shows me on a cruise ship to Alaska on my own. I was in my deepest depression at the time. The logical thing would have been to stay safe and put. But I've always felt I have to rise above and do the difficult thing. I wrote out instructions for everything- how to get from the house to the airport, how to get to the ship from the airport, what to do on the ship, etc. etc. I did all that. I remembered doing a helicopter tour and a bus tour and men trying to pick me up and conniving to get into my stateroom. They were not impressed that I was not impressed by them even if they knew places like the Wardorf Astoria. I think I did enjoyed the trip. There was a federal election when I got home. I made sure I cast a vote. #aweinspiring #tootingmyownhorn #alaskacruise #depression #risingabove #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsWow, 31 degrees Celsius outside! Thank God for cool basements. Spent time getting to know Mrs. Bernina, cleaning and lubricating her. How quickly I forget her innards and makings. Now sitting back with my decaf and toasted baguette. Too hot to walk Sheba. I think I'll just snack and get fat. #hotday #snacking #cleaningandlubricating #berninasewingmachine #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsDay 128 - The Royal Wave - #365simethings2018 Oprah at the wedding. Feeling slightly uncomfortable without adding defining lines but letting it go. #watercolor #indexcard #theroyalwave #oprah #atthewedding #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsDay 127 - Lily's Folly - #365somethings2018 I'm always looking for coconuts. I think I'm barking up the wrong tree. #watercolor #indexcard #palmtree #coconuts #photochallege #taleswithfriends#manifestingthroughmay NOURISHMENT - a pot of tea and some quiet time are enough sometimes. I don't need or ask for much. #nourishment #potoftea #quiet #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsDay 126 - Dawne - #365somethings2018 Here I am trying to paint a regal @dawnezeta but maybe the beer is affecting results or that it's my excuse for failing. Seems so many things not working out for me. Sorry Dawne. I meant well. That phrase is an overused one, too. Being sorry does nothing at all. #watercolours #indexcard #dawne #taleswithfriendsA perfect set up. Feeling more mellow. Getting ready to paint 🎨 my index card 💳. #perfectsetup #photochallenge #taleswithfriends#manifestingthroughmay WALKING is undoubtedly good for all of us. But we are pooped today. It's good to pull the blinds and close the door. Some of us need more rest and quiet than others. There's nothing wrong with at that, is there? #walking #goodexercise #timeforrest #quiet #drawtheblinds #closethedoor #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsMy new read. A very good beginning. The title speaks for Sheba and me. We are all completely beside ourselves. A good day to chill and garden and check in to see if my mother needs some help with planting her flower beds. #weareallcompletelybesideourselves #goodreads #chilling #gardening #helpingmymother #photochallenge #taleswithfriends

BREATHING AND WRITING
Life and writing are akin to me at times. I struggle to get a letter on the page and taking a deep breath is difficult at times. If I don’t try, the page remains blank, empty of the stories hidden … Continue reading
STORYTELLING IN THE DESERT
There are many stories in the desert. Won’t you take a seat and have a listen? I come from a culture rich in superstition and ancestory whorship. We honour and worship the deities and ancestors by laying out food and … Continue reading

THE CHILL OF OUR DESERT
It’s a bit cold here in our desert but we are soothed by its stillness and quietness. Our hearts are gladdened by the brillance of the sun. It beckons Sheba and I out the door and down that yellow brick … Continue reading

LEST I BE MISUNDERSTOOD
Through this period of Lent I have been putting an effort to keep my own council. It is not an easy thing for I am a talker and I tend to speak my mind. Speaking my mind hasn’t really worked … Continue reading
