Little Garden Critters!
I don’t believe Hell to be full of flames. Nope. Being a gardener, I think it’s full of slugs and snails. Don’t get me wrong. I try hard to love all of God’s creatures. But I think it would be easier for me to love some of them from afar. Like away from my garden!… Continue reading Little Garden Critters!
Just Take the Plunge!
I had my doubts. Was I out of my depth? Was my story interesting? Was it worth spending $25 apiece on a dream? I decided to take the plunge. Swim with the big fish and enter the CBC Nonfiction Contest. I chose to polish up not one, but two stories from years ago. Isn’t it… Continue reading Just Take the Plunge!

Kammie’s Oddball Challenge
My first time entering a photo challenge for WordPress. Woo-hoo! Here is my entry for: http://ceenphotography.com/2019/01/27/kammies-oddball-challenge-week-of-january-24-2018/ A cardinal kept tapping at the window of my daughter’s parked car, so she rolled down the window. Then, the cardinal sat a bit, then strutted over to check out who was in the mirror. This hungry cat was… Continue reading Kammie’s Oddball Challenge
Seek, and You Shall Find!
Recently, I lost an earring. It wasn’t part of an expensive set like gold hoops or diamond studs, nonetheless, they were my everyday favourite, go-to pair. A pair of dream catcher earrings. I had put them on before going out-of-town that morning. And, I convinced myself I lost them somehow after coming home. I had… Continue reading Seek, and You Shall Find!
