I have been posting on Wordpress for nearly six years. My thoughts, stories and experiences - All for free. Not really sure why, I just felt it was important for people to hear my voice somehow. I used a lot of the material for my book. I've been with you for over a year now and your beautiful writing helped me appreciate the value in what I was writing. My site is now subscription content only. Thank-you!

Your tale of the bumblebee beautifully illustrates how even the smallest actions can make a meaningful difference. Thank you for reminding us of the significance in the seemingly insignificant.

Jill has an inspected life.

Everyone else is just mouse jiggling through theirs .

Quite the freak out you had there . You mentally backed out of the whole scene at that cafe. I can fully relate.

Yep. That cafe brought me right back to that marble kitchen island. Thanks for the kind words, OB 🙏

This post made me catch my breath and, just for a moment, feel crushingly sad. I'll try to upgrade next month when funds are in.
