‘Tis Almost the Season

Posted on November 25, 2023 by Linda Hoye

I’m trying to settle into the routine back home but we’re not quite there yet. Gerry’s been under the weather since just after I left for Kamloops so life’s running at a slower pace than usual. It’s kind of nice. Still, I’m hoping for a return to good health and semi-normal routines next week. I…

On My Way Home

Posted on November 22, 2023November 22, 2023 by Linda Hoye

I’m sitting in the Vancouver, B.C. airport—YVR—waiting for my next flight that will take me home to Saskatchewan. I’ve just enjoyed an overpriced sandwich and am sipping on a Starbucks. It’s almost like the old days. Young people are carrying on business on laptops and cell phones. I’m catching snippets of phrases that were once…

What a Difference a Day Makes

Posted on November 7, 2023 by Linda Hoye

The Writing Life

I like to support women writers and occasionally invite one to be a guest in this space. Today, I’m pleased to introduce Lisa May Bennett, author of My Unfurling: Emerging From the Grip of Anxiety, Self-Doubt, and Drinking. Alcohol abuse is a subject I’m all too familiar with.

About Me

I’m a wife, mom, grandma, adoptee, Yorkie mom, writer, reader, photographer, gardener, and (after a 50-year absence) a grateful Saskatchewan resident. 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 don’t measure up to receive that kind of love.
