Happy Gratitude Sunday! This was my first week back to work after a nice long break and, as the first item on today’s gratitude list, I’m happy to say that it was sane and productive and I made it out the other end in one piece. 🙂

As I was thinking ahead and musing about what might happen – what I want to happen – throughout my next decade of blogging, I thought I’d take some time to put it all into writing… partly to indulge myself, but mostly because I know doing so makes things happen. (It really does!) [continue reading…]
This week I’ve been enjoying writing a “small stone” every day, and thought I’d share another handful with you today. (Not sure what this is all about? You can read more on the Writing Our Way Home January “Small Stones” tradition here, and also check out my previous post on the topic.) [continue reading…]
Their siren song calls to me – at times shiny and new on professionally-stocked bookstore shelves… maybe an unexpected treasure tucked in amongst the hodgepodge of inexpensive dollar store selections… or, perhaps, stacked with an ambitious array of department store back-to-school supplies.

At the moment I am anxiously awaiting a delivery: calendar inserts and a few accessories which I ordered just after Christmas to use in my brand new Filofax A5 Finsbury planner (purchased at a lovely store called The Papery, located in downtown Victoria, BC).

Today was my first day back at work after 17 days off… and I am tired! Mentally, for sure, but also rather physically tired, as I got up with the alarm for the first time in quite awhile… after, of course, NOT going to bed at a reasonable hour last night. (Anyone else fall into a whole different [continue reading…]
As I learned yesterday from the ever-so-wonderful Melissa Ford of Stirrup Queens, an ancient internet tradition called International Blog Delurking Week is happening… right now! This week! And you – yes, I really do mean YOU – are invited to play!

Now that I’m back from vacation and slowly (albeit rather reluctantly!) easing my way back into a normal routine, I’m delighted to restart a weekly tradition that has fast become an important and meaningful part of my blogging life – the Gratitude Linkup. [continue reading…]
I had heard of Writing Our Way Home and their January “Small Stones” tradition (if you’re not sure what it’s all about, you can read more here), but always seemed to remember or find out about it after the fact and so was never able to participate.

Inspired by NaBloPoMo writing prompt for Friday, January 3, 2014:
Do you have a tendency to procrastinate, or do you like checking things off your to-do list?

Now that my ten year blogiversary has passed (I still can’t believe I’ve been at it for so long!) and I am facing a brand spanking new decade of blogging, I thought I’d take some time to think ahead and ponder a couple of questions that have been tugging at my brain for the past while.

As I browsed the internet during the last week or so of 2013, I noticed that variations of the same question kept popping up in several different places, prompting a wide variety of thought-provoking responses from a range of individuals. [continue reading…]
Another month of photos, another month of blogging, and – just like that – 2013 comes to an end.
It’s hard to believe it’s over!
Inspired by NaBloPoMo writing prompts for Monday and Tuesday, December 30 and 31, 2013:
What do you want to do less of in 2014?

Welcome back to the Gratitude Linkup, Holiday Edition! This linkup has been open for two weeks and will continue to be available over the next week for you to share your gratitude posts (and yes, you may certainly add more than one if you are so inclined!). [continue reading…]
The date was December 28th, 2003 (exactly ten years ago to the day, in case you hadn’t noticed). The bustle of Christmas was past, the new year had yet to arrive, and I, with the week off from work, was at loose ends and looking for something to occupy my time.

Do you have some goals you’d like to achieve in the new year? By any chance would developing your creativity be one of those goals? [continue reading…]
