Hello!

Welcome to my online space.

I’m Linda Hoye. In no particular order, I’m a wife, mom, grandma, adoptee, Yorkie mom, writer, reader, photographer, gardener, and homebody. I am intentional about looking past what seems ordinary to discover that which is anything but. I believe grace abounds, joy sparkers show up when I remain open to seeing them, and God calls me beloved even when I feel like I’m not worthy of that kind of love. I thought I’d have things figured out by now, but keep coming up with more questions. I think that’s okay.

I am a grateful resident of my hometown Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, having returned after 50 years. My husband and I make our home here with our doted-upon Yorkshire Terrier, Molly.

I’ve written two memoirs and a chronicle of those “interesting” years of 2020/2021. My work has also appeared in an assortment of publications and a few anthologies. I’m a longtime board member of the Story Circle Network.

I take photos and enjoy getting up close and personal with flowers and nature and the prairie. I love pulling out my big girl Canon but, as award winning Chase Jarvis, said “the best camera is the one that’s with you”, so I don’t hesitate to use the one on my phone when inspiration strikes.

Occasionally, I play with acrylic and watercolour paint, I’m truly a beginner with these mediums and create solely for the purpose of creating.

My garden is my happy place—it feeds both my body and soul to dig in the dirt. There is so much to learn in a garden. Plus, you get vegetables.

I think a lot about grace and love and faith, and do my best to wrap my mind around it all. Sometimes I share those musings here.

Thanks for stopping by!
