I found myself in a bit of a quandary yesterday. Everywhere I looked, there were things piling up. Things that will need to be sorted, fixed, or amended as soon as humanly possible. I tried my very best to keep my cool, but the more I tried, the harder it became. At one point, I…

I have finally found something to say that makes sense of the state of my head. I have been hovering over so many things lately, constantly wondering why I never seem to get around to finishing anything. My first thought was whatever it was wasn’t good enough. Not worth finishing. Then came all the excuses……

This strange, mysterious image caught my attention, mainly because I find myself floundering around a lot in the dark these days. I am doing the best I can with just one eye, but it’s not easy. Luckily, it doesn’t seem to affect the writing, which is a blessing. You can barely see that it has…

Detective David Snow My name is David Snow, and I am fortunate to be known as the detective in Jaye Marie’s books. She loves to tell the world about me, so I thought I would return the favour. I am rather fond of Jaye. It’s hard not to be, as she is a lovely lady.…

For some time now, I have spent my days trying so hard not to look backwards. This is not something I am guilty of in the first instance, so probably easier for me to do. But that doesn’t mean I have been looking forward either. Desperately avoiding depression, I haven’t been looking anywhere in particular.…

Despite the crippling heat of the last few weeks, I went ahead and made the appointment with my optician, intending to get there under my own steam for what would be the first time in months. Definitely several steps in the right direction, I thought, and although the thought was scary, I really looked forward…

I chose this lovely image this morning, because I am looking for a little magic to begin my week with. Rosemary is a herb and has many uses in our lives, from health and well-being to protection against bad magic. I do try not to judge my progress these days, but it is hard not…

I usually like to post flowers on a Sunday, but sadly, the choice is rather limited right now. I wasn’t expecting to be posting bonsai, but the ones I came across this morning on the internet deserve to be shown. When my passion for bonsai began all those years ago, I didn’t realise that they…
