Happy New Year! 2023

Happy New Year my friends!

I've written my New Year goals on bestdayblogger.com if you like to have a look. I wanted to take this opportunity on this blog post to reflect on the past year and mention how grateful I am to all my online friends and subscribers like you. Thank you so much for being there for me this past year. It has been the hardest year of my life with my cancer treatments, lymphedema diagnosis and arthritis pains.

Vlogmas Week One 🎄 Advent Calendars and Baking

Hello Winter! Happy December everyone!

What do you enjoy doing in the winter? 

Here in PEI they say the worst months are January, February and March. 

I’m not worried…okay maybe I am. They sell snowshoes at the local Kent stores! That doesn’t worry me at all! Tomorrow we are expecting a snowstorm. About 20cm of snow and 80 kilometre winds. The wind on this island scares me like crazy. Anyhow, I hope you have a look at my first week vlogmas. I am currently filming part 2. I hope you like it and subscribe to my channel. It brings me so much joy and happiness. 

Thank you so much!

Dear November...

Dear November

Leaves falling to the ground

Cold wind 

Chill to the bone

I won't moan 

I grab my cardigan and walk alone

Peaceful rolling land

Crows make their presence known

The horse gallops

Cemetery still

 silent

All alone 

-Maria Medeiros
