      Susan, a simple image and a few words can send a powerful message. I love it too.

      I have already read your latest Newsletter, but I am not well enough to write more. Just thank you for all this. I wish I could tell you how I am feeling, but I can’t even do that… You do help me with your posts. Merci!

    Just loved “Breathe” I reposted on FB. How’s your new novel coming along?

      Thanks, Judy. I loved it too and it’s particularly meaningful right now for my family. I sent out my newsletter today so please let me know if you did not receive it. I hope Spring has brought a sense of renewal into your world. Novel #3 is coming along. I’m almost ready to write “The End” and send it off for editing.

    This couldn’t have come at a better time for me…thank-you! I’m leaving my job after 22 years; my apartment is going up for sale and life should be free as a bird, but I’m sure having a lot of trouble with that!
    What a perfect comment…I have to remember to do that!

      Dear Liane
      Thanks so much for sharing your comments with me. You are certainly making major changes! What plans do you have?
      I’ve often thought, if I were on my own, I would check out some of the opportunities on TrustedHouseSitters.com. There are some fascinating listings … I may have to write a novel around one of them.
      I can well imagine you might have moments of doubt, but keep believing in yourself and follow your dreams. You know what I love to say … “it’s never too late to try something new”!
      I wish you the very best in your ongoing journey!

    Soothing, wise, words…I’ll need to remember during stressful times. Glad to hear the next book is progressing well and look forward to it!

      Soothing, indeed. Isn’t it interesting how we all need a reminder from time to time?

      It’s very peaceful, isn’t it? A simple message that often requires a reminder. Margaret, I loved your recent post about your quarry visit.

    Such a beautiful photograph, and the accompanying words are perfect. Reminds me of the words of Benedict of Nursia, “Always we begin again.” We can begin a hundred times a day, and it is all good.

    PATRICIA, CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK. I JUST READ , THE GOLDFINCH AND THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN. BOTH, BEST SELLERS. I AM SORRY , BUT HATED EVERY WORD, IN BOTH. I GUESS I AM “OUT OF TOUCH” WITH WEIRD WRITERS. I LIKE YOUR BOOKS BECAUSE THEY MAKE ME FEEL GOOD AND LORD KNOWS, WE ALL NEED THAT, RIGHT? I HOPE YOU ARE WELL AND HAPPY,, WHERE EVER YOU ARE, YOUR FRIEND, JOY WOOD

      Dear Joy, we often respond so differently to books, movies, music, and other artistic endeavours. Knowing what pleases you, is the most important thing and I’m delighted that my books do that for you. Thanks for your encouragement and enthusiasm. That’s the best reward for an author! I’m enjoying writing #3 and the end is in sight! Stay well and enjoy life. xo

    That is perfect and just what I needed today.

    I enjoyed the beautiful photos in your newsletter. I hope to see those awesome sights some day. I hope all is well with your family.

    Thanks for sharing.
