You might think this is a weird combination to be talking about to you. But there was a beautifully clear rainbow this week that Kevin took a photo of and I’m sharing with you today.

Yes, I know I haven’t written many blog posts but I have been working on starting books and beginning to figure out how to do it all.

You find yourself strangely attracted to a stranger at your local coffee shop.

“Come ON, girl! Make that tea! What’s taking you so long?” I took a quick glance into the sitting room as I passed to go through to the kitchen to work out who was there and what their tea preferences were.

Jamie Stewart design has helped author and poet Anika Speaks to bring a burst of creativity to the world in the form of a captivating poster series.

I had another fall earlier this evening. Annoying. I mean, REALLY annoying. I was trying to help Kevin by going into the porch area or the cats area.

I wasn’t sure how to tackle this post actually. But all disabilities affect us and our family live in one way.

Oh boy! What I could tell you about it….but I won’t because I don’t want you to be scared of it.
