Hello September! 2023 Favourites!

I am very exited for September. This marks one year living on the island. Prince Edward island has so much natural beauty. The water, trees, lakes, rivers. I adore the lighthouses and all the farms and farm animals. I love capturing the change of colours during this Autumnal time. Magic and beauty is in the air!

I wanted to share a few things I've been enjoying recently.

I created  a wall paper on Canva for September and I love it so much. Join if you like! It's free!

Hope you enjoy this week's Vlogust! 

Shuffles App! NEW!

Hello! It's almost the end of August and I am wanting and needing Autumn. Don't get me wrong I love warm weather and this summer has been amazing, but I love Autumn more!

This week I came across an app called Shuffles. https://www.shffls.com/ 

It's a part of PINTEREST I believe. 

If you enjoy digital collage this is so much fun to play with!

I created these collages. 

I am @bestdayblogger on Shuffles if you like to check it out. 

I want to turn these into bookmarks and you can use these for your scrapbooks, junk journaling, journaling and more! 

Let me know if you are on the app and would love to see your creations.

Have fun if you like digital collages!

Vlogust Week 2 | A Walk On The Beach

Two years post chemo…

Two years post chemo… I’m here and strong and moving forward. I wanted to share a poem that I wrote during my cancer treatments. I am still full of lots of emotions and it still feels like yesterday. The emotions are raw and sit on my chest, I hope one day all the pain and sadness of what I went through fades away. In time I’m sure it will. I’m grateful to be here. Each day is a gift.

Herceptin Countdown

Beep beep beep

Beep beep

Chemo in session

Then on pause

Woman having a reaction calling for help

My body trembles

My heart races

I watch as the nurses run to help her

I feel like crying

Emotional state

I pray for her in silence

Cold cloth and medicine

Chairs full of people

Blood transfusions

“Can you state your name and birthdate?”

My chest

Anxious

Flowing emotions

I want to cry

Things will be okay

Warm blankets on the legs

Nurse says hello

They are supportive

Full of kindness

Needles in the arm

Take blood

See the doctor

Prescription set

Five years

Suppress hormone

Estrogen

Need third vaccine booster

Machines working

Buzzing

For the first time I see a young girl in the chairs

My forms on the side of me

One day they will be history

Filed in the depth of a cabinet

Hopefully dust free

As I hide my tears in my mask the humming of the machine Hummmm

Hummmm

The clock ticking

Silence. 

I’ve written a few poems you can access online as an Ebook if you like.
