Dear September…

My heart is open

Full of emotions

A little anxious and worried

Online learning

Everything is different

All around us

Nothing is the same anymore

Masks and distancing

Fear and Government

2020 is a real mess

I’m wondering who and why

Have we forgotten where this started and why?

Who’s to blame for the downfall of humanity?

Many lives lost

Many loose their jobs and homes

Is this all about control, money and power?

God I hate politics and the men that run this shit show.

Nothing will be the same anymore

Or maybe it will be okay?

This is affecting people in more than one way

Mental Health is a huge issue as well.

I truly pray and hope that things will be okay.
I’m trying to stay hopeful and positive…trying.

“I am a detective, I am a decipherer, and I am a finder of lost souls. My life is my own. And the future is up to us.” – Enola Holmes


The character Enola Holmes believes that our future is up to us. I don’t know why but this brings tears to my eyes. Is our future up to us? I hope we can be free again to travel, to go to places, to hug one another. I hope that we can one day get together again without having fear.


Travelled to Stratford Ontario

A busy little place full of commotion and life.

Social distancing in effect. Every shop had hand sanitizer and everyone wore masks.

I took these pictures of less crowded areas but the place was busy as can be.

Great book stores and the river is beautiful. It wasn’t quiet that’s for sure.


I kindly received beautiful *Gifted items in September.

Dear July,

Your beauty surrounded us. The weather was so beautiful and we made some lovely at home memories. The garden is growing nicely.

Sun rays through my hair and face. Summer warmth, heat embrace. I watered the garden and ate delicious raspberries. I heard sounds all around me, neighbours, cars, trees, birds. It brings me a little joy and I feel a little normal.

Nature makes me feel safe. Summer days come and go. Birds are chirping and singing hello. I’m surrounded by your energy, embraced by your calmness and feel your love. I seek positivity and joy in life’s simplicities. The daily chores that bring me joy even in the smallest ways. One step at a time during these challenging times. 

Outside in the garden I saw various birds, cardinals, robins and some squirrels. Animals visit our home to say hello. Bunnies, foxes and racoons. Butterflies fly around and buzzing bees around my ears. You are glorious and majestic my sweet July. I am for ever grateful for your love. I hear cicadas loud and clear. Also neighbours all around. Kids playing and  spending time together. There’s a deep happiness and a deep sadness that fills my heart. I feel its so busy in this city, so much noice from the cars. July you rarely brough rain. A few times only and the earth became so happy yet again.

Thank you so much to Pixi Beauty for the lovely *Gifted items. *Not sponsored.
