Hi Reader,Just a short one as I'm off to an allergy specialist tomorrow to figure out why my fingers have been burning every time I touch my phone. Admittedly, I've been doing a little too much playing of a silly phone game I've been obsessed with and it might have lead to tingling/burning in my fingertips as well as my right index finger swelling like a sausage. 🙈Of course, this was a bad time to schedule this doctor visit as I'm participating in Leanne Chapman's Get it Done week for her...

Hi Reader,Last week, I finally started feeling well enough to get back to my walks. These are one of those things that I enjoy so much, but after being away for for so long, it felt really good to get back to doing the things I love. I always forget how restorative being out in nature can be - and of course, seeing all the trees and foliage bursting forth - the birds calling for mates, and the frogs kicking up a cacophony. Well, it's just a bustling time down by the lake. The weather is...

Hi Reader,Happy Mother's Day to all! Today I was treated to pancakes and yesterday, a nice walk with my husband and son. Mother's Day and my birthday are the days I can get them to go for a walk with me without complaints so I like to take advantage whenever I can. 🤣We went to a new park which promised gorgeous Sakura blossoms which I saw on Facebook earlier this week. I figured it would be better to go yesterday, as the weather was nicer, and I figured it wouldn't be as busy.Wrong. The place...

Hi Reader,It's not every day I pop in to tell you about something special that's ending but I think this is something simply not to be missed so I wanted to give you a heads up that Leanne from Passive Income Superstar's fabulous signature course, Affiliate Marketing Superstars 2.0 is going away tonight at 11:59 pm EST. After midnight, the price will more than double.If you've been considering doing affiliate marketing, this is the gold standard of courses. Plus, I've just added a brand new...

Hi Reader,Happy first day of May! I'm so excited for the official start of Spring but I've already seen a few fat bees and buds which made me so happy. Earlier this week, the forecast called for temperatures in the high 20's Celsius (high 80's/early 90's F) but quickly pivoted to a huge thunderstorm and hail which knocked the power out in our neighbourhood for 12 hours - so in short, it's been a wild week!We also celebrated my son's 15th birthday which was quite different for us as we have...

Hi Reader,Happy Easter! If you're in North America or the UK, I hope you're having a relaxing long weekend! Not only is it a four day weekend here, but my husband is also celebrating his birthday so he's been getting the opportunity to do whatever he likes - without me voicing an opinion. Fun fact: My husband is a total nerd and loves anything related to Star Wars/Trek, or lore related to swords. If it was up to him, our son would be named Conan. Lucky it wasn't his birthday when we named...

Hi Reader,Did you know that today (April 8th) is Draw a Picture of a Bird Day? I found out late in the day and thought that was a good enough reason to drop you a line as I was really excited to share my creation. 😂 As some of you know, I'm kinda crazy about birds. Normally, I would just whip up an image with A.I. or turn a photo I snapped into illustrative art, but the edict was simple: Draw a bird.I looking to see what I've created in the past and I couldn't find any drawings of birds....

Hi Reader, Happy Monday! It's been ugly with freezing rain all weekend. I'm feeling better but I'm still been having some issues with my throat. Mainly that my voice cuts out when I'm trying to talk but especially if I'm calling up to a family member on a different floor. I'm a little worried that I won't be able to sing anymore so I think I need to see a specialist. Of course, not having a voice makes it hard to finish recording the two lessons for my course, Pages Palooza. 😫 It's been in...

Hi Reader,Can you believe Spring is finally here? It sure doesn't feel like it today. Even though the temps are above zero today, I've had my space heater blasting in my office trying to stay warm. Yesterday I saw a beautiful female Cardinal outside my office window, followed quickly by a male. Hopefully I'll see a baby Cardinal in a few months. I also saw a Black Capped Chickadee and a Dark Eyed Junco The same two I've seen hanging around together for the last few years. Best buddies I'm...
