Shopkeepers on the Edge of Eternity
Standing Stones, Dolmen, Menhirs and Cairns... A Megalithic Landscape! The land here is made of Magic. I look around me at this tumbled landscape of Stone and Mountain, and can almost see the hands of ancient giants at work. It is if they (?) were erecting standing stones and menhirs , or building cairns to guide, amaze and delight all…

The Magic of Christmas
Sugarplums Dancing— Long Ago and Far Away I wonder how many of you remember that Feeling, that special Magic that fills Childhood [if we’re lucky] Christmas’ with joy and wonder and awe? I still remember it very well. I have carried that Feeling, that Magic, with me for all the decades since my sisters and I were small. That was…

Turning Corners & New Directions
Thoughts as Spring 2024 Arrives: I’m not going to say that the winter has flown by, but I have skimmed through it in a daze of busy-ness and extra paperwork [or data entry anyway] brought about by the necessity of switching POS system part way through last year, and maybe just plain winter blues, I don’t feel that I have…

Almost Famous— Again
Nah! Just Joking — But Featured So grateful to be interviewed for Bold Journey Magazine/Website. Many thanks for the opportunity to tell my story (Bold Journey is a space to share stories and learn from each other’s experiences.)

Make Time
Instead of Resolutions~ I have nothing against New Year’s Resolutions— except that I seldom Keep one in the long run. I do start every year with certain Goals in mind though. However, I don’t kick myself if I fall short or am unable to fulfill my sometimes too ambitious plans. If I have discovered anything in Life, it is that…
