Author: Linda Hoye

I’m a writer, reader, creative, and unapologetic homebody. I thought by now I’d have things figured out, but I keep coming up with more questions. I think that’s okay.

Driving Lessons

Posted on August 21, 2008October 23, 2020 by Linda Hoye

I believe that God has lessons for us everywhere if we only have eyes to see them. Tonight I was driving home from work, and got behind a car that was going 40 on the highway where the speed limit was 60. What I noticed about this vehicle (other than the slow pace at which…

Posted on August 16, 2008October 23, 2020 by Linda Hoye

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 work at looking past what’s ordinary to see that which is anything but. I believe joy sparkers abound when we remain open to seeing them!
