UKRAINE CONTINUED

Marianna was delighted, of course, to hear I would be returning to Paris for a few days. “Do you have a writing or art assignment here? I know Daphne has been hounding you for months to present more work at the gallery!” She was less than thrilled when I told her of my plans to try to enter Russia... Sign in to see full entry.

THE CALM AFTERMATH

Well, our first official snowstorm of 2015 has come to an end. We're in for a bigger, even worse storm from Tuesday into Wednesday at some point. Guess I'm officially house bound from now until mid to end of April. Sigh. I can still see bits of grass here and there trying to poke its way up through... Sign in to see full entry.

SNOW IS FALLING DOWN

Ah, the best laid plans of mice and men. Sigh. I didn't do as much writing here today as what I wanted to do, but I have no excuse other than sheer laziness. Perhaps tomorrow at some point, so long as we have electricity. Its been a rough day. This weather is really miserable to my joints and... Sign in to see full entry.

WICKED WINDS BREWING

Sigh. We're in for a big storm late tonight into tomorrow. Snow, sleet, and freezing rain in some areas. While I truly detest such wretched weather, we really are in need of a good snowfall. If nothing else, the snow will cover up the dry pathetic dead grass. It's so sad looking. I almost feel like... Sign in to see full entry.

A PRAYER REQUEST

Hi everyone... Would you all please keep my friend Amy in your thoughts and prayers? Amy very recently underwent spinal surgery, and while in the process of recovering from it, she has fractured her spine. Those are the only details I have at this point, although she is expecting to be transfered to... Sign in to see full entry.

A REPOST FOR THE BEGINNING OF MY UKRAINE DREAM

I'll repost from the beginning, but it will continue... UKRIANE “Your application for permission to enter Ukraine as a volunteer for the American Red Cross has been denied. Due to your extenuating medical problems, we feel it would be…” Unsafe. A liability to the organization. You name it, that’s... Sign in to see full entry.

PRAYERS FOR SHANGHI

Hi everyone... Yes, I've returned at last. I hope you all had lovely Christmas and New Year's holidays.

HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas, my dear friends! May the true reason for the celebrations fill you with love, light, joy and peace. What better reason could we have to celebrate than to honour the coming of the Holy Child, who sacrificed so much for us all? I also wish you all a very Happy new year 2015! I will...

A DAY OF CELEBRATION

Happy Birthday to me! Well, today I am officially forty three years young! What a great day its been. Spoiled rotten and loads of cards and prezzies from friends and my Mum.

MORE CHERUBS IN HEAVEN FOR CHRISTMAS

All this horrible, sad news from Australia over the past few weeks breaks my heart. I find myself crying this morning. It's bad enough when adults choose to harm one another at this time of year,(or at ANY other time)but what do children do to deserve unwarrented violence? Sign in to see full entry.

FIRST NIGHT, HOLY LIGHT

This evening as the sun set, Hanukkah began. For my friends, Kari and Sara-elah, and their family, I wish a blessed and joyous Hanukkah. May the lights on their menorah shine even more brightly this year than last. I wish this for Jewish people all over the world. One of the very first laws of the... Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPINESS IS CRAFTING!

Nasty weather outside today. No snow on the ground now, but very gray and depressing! And cold! The perfect weather for online window shopping! Both for Christmas-I've almost finished, thank goodness!-and for myself! Every year for my birthday, my favourite online crafting supply shop sends me a... Sign in to see full entry.

SLOWING DOWN

Five days since I last posted? I wish I could say I have a good excuse, but I don't. I will be honest and say that for some reason lately, I don't feel like writing much of anything. Fiction or otherwise. I haven't even sent out all of my Christmas cards yet. A few, but not many. I hope you're all... Sign in to see full entry.

PRAYERS NEEDED FOR A VERY SPECIAL LITTLE BOY

I meant to write here yesterday, but I was just too heartbroken to even think about it. I'm still heartbroken...and it's even worse knowing there is nothing I can do for these people. Yesterday, Margaret and Tricia went to Walmart. While they were there, they met a beautiful two year old little boy.... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST WISH?

We all know that Christmastime is a time for making wishes. Big or small, the size doesn't really matter. Some people make bigger wishes than others, but some people honestly don't know what to wish for. I think it makes God happy when His children make wishes. So long as they aren't selfish wishes....

JACK FROST IS HERE IN PERSON!

Holy cow! First of all, I should explain that we're expecting snow over night. Oh, joy! Oh, well. I won't whinge too much about it. At least we're fortunate enough to have shelter from the bitter cold of tonight. Not everyone is so lucky. Having written the above statement...Our heat went out... Sign in to see full entry.
