Wintering 2025

Winter in the city

Back in Ontario things are different than PEI

I miss nature a lot

I miss the silence, 

the slow pace

 I miss the sounds and sights of PEI nature

but 

I don't mind the change all

I embrace each moment

After going through Breast Cancer I am grateful for everything and I don't complain about things anymore

I feel a lot

I have a lot of emotions but I don't complain

It's a gift from God to live each day 

Count your blessings

 I would like to read: 

"Wintering The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times"

by Katherine May

It's on my Amazon Wish list. I would like to buy that book and read it. 

What book are you reading at the moment? 

This is my  "Some Lines a Day" five year journal.

I finished one year of it in PEI and now I am in the second year. It is wonderful to see what happened the year before when I write a few lines daily. Total appreciation for this Journal.

I have a few pen pals and love sending cards to them. 

I look forward to hearing their news. Snail mail is fun.

I enjoy product reviews. This one is from Butterly.

I kindly won this beautiful necklace from TOCARA on IG. 

Thank you so much I love it! 

I am trying out FIELD sketchbook 

At first I wasn't that happy about it but I am starting to enjoy this paper. 

I will show you more of my art process on my YOUTUBE channel soon.

My hubby sends me photos from work

Usually having to do with the weather. 

I love city images. 

 

I enjoy creating collages on Canva. 

This is my 2025 outlook.

Auggie 

He is a sweetheart of a cat

Always likes to wake me up if I am sleeping on the couch. 

I think he wants to make sure I am okay.

Thank you all for reading my blog post.

 

I hope you are all well and doing okay this winter. 

I pray that the Lord blesses you and keeps you healthy and safe. God Bless you all!

Forest Bathing Healing The Soul

From the moment I walk in the forest the sound of the world changes. 

It's like walking into a world of magic. You really need to not move and sit still if you ever go in the forest. Listen...beauty, magic, nature and the sounds are so glorious.

The way the trees are planted here it's like a dream,

should I walk to the end of this path?

 I think next time I will walk all the way to the depths of the forest.

surrounding me 

hugging me

the forest feels so right to me

I listened to my breathing

felt connected in so many ways

I wanted to take my shoes off and walk barefoot

I wanted to lay in the stream and embrace the earth

become one with nature

winter has beauty

winter has magic

forests do not sleep in the winter

The forest is still alive

But not this tree

I touched the tree and it felt cold

I looked up and it was dead

Fiona took down a lot of trees 

I hope we plant more trees

If everyone just plants one tree

That would be so amazing.
