Also: me when I recover from my second hip replacement! 🙏🏻

Should be seen in every “Canada is great because:” video.

🪦 New Yorkers are in front of the New York Stock Exchange for a mass die-in to symbolize how these devastating cuts will destroy families & take lives.

Deep spending cuts to programs like healthcare, food assistance, and education is a matter of life & death for millions.

Congress: #StopTheCuts!

Haha. I just ended my comment on your first post that reviewers are weird. A different kind of weird than you are talking about.

Just for the record and for what it’s worth: I love your Finders Series and sent all of them to my son who devoured them as well. I am a newbie at receiving reviews and, wow, people can be so very, very weird. 🩷

I love the “don’t equate suffering with reverence & worry with impact.” I also love “there is no track.” But the line I think of when I try to recreate this Joy is “sunshine dancing on the floorboards.” Thanks for the response.

US consumer confidence plunges in February in its biggest decline in four years Index reflects consumer optimism, which is shaky as inflation seems to be stuck and a trade war over tariffs looms

In FOUR years, huh? Hmm. 🧐From The Guardian:

Joy Showed Up (a poem by Quinn Corte) — The Retreat Space A poem about being the light in dark times.

I have always known joy as a fleeting gift. After reading this hygge poem-which literally makes me LOL & tear up-I am experiencing her as a presence in my daily life. Hope it helps some (ALL?!) of you good hearts in these dark times.

This one, “I vant to BLOOM.”

View from my front door on a bright day; looks out on our gingerbread porch with steps down to a snowy landscape.

First proper snowfall two days ago. January finally looks like itself. #CapeBreton

OMG. I put on a Google alert for the title of my novel release—Every Rule Undone. Now I am getting notifications that are about he who shall not be mentioned and what he has undone. 🫣😩😠

🙂 Noveling certainly helps my brain as I escape to worlds of my own making, but I find this strategy clears the real world residue from my brain so I can write fiction [and do everything else] better!

What Would You Scream If No One Could Hear? — The Retreat Space Repressed emotions can weigh us down, fester into resentment, and cause chronic pain and anxiety. In this post, I teach one of my favorite and most life-changing tools: rage journaling.

Rage Journaling anyone?

A small, felted, green and blue toy dog that I made by repeatedly stabbing a barbed needle into unspun wool.

Felting, a hobby for our times. It requires repeated stabbing and results in a cute, soft thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (I stabbed myself several times) #felting

This morning in Nova Scotia.

I love you promoting your novel with All the Things! I get extremely grouchy when expected to describe my rich, deep, finely crafted novel in two or three word phrases with little squiggly arrows. (No one actually expects me to do anything of the kind; it’s just me being frustrated at “marketing.”)

EPIC Rises to the Top! You may have noticed a bevy of Top Ten lists on our website. We are proud of each and every one of them! At first glance it may seem like the same recognition over and over, but each of those Top list...

I turned off the damned notifications on all my news apps bc I do NOT want a minute by minute update on a specific future “governments.” The less I know, the better my mental health. If something truly important happens, DM me, yeah? 🫥 #RecoveryMode #selfcare

Grateful today for my writing habit! Today when I desperately need distraction, I wrote 1885 brand new words which allowed me an hour or two of being in another world. #Writing #electionday
