Friday’s Fave Five – June 3, 2022

Posted on June 3, 2022 by Linda Hoye

I don’t know where the week has gone; I lost a day somewhere. This morning I had a minor medical procedure that threw the cadence of the entire day off. I’m not getting much done. Ah well. It’s a wet and stormy afternoon with thunderstorms and hail forecast—the kind of day that’s perfect for curling…

Moving Forward With Something Radical (for me)

Posted on May 31, 2022 by Linda Hoye

At some point, when one reaches a certain age and level of wisdom, it becomes apparent there are things it’s time to let go of. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not talking about giving up.

I’m sitting on the back deck writing this blog post. How sweet is that?! It’s the first time this year I’ve been able to do so and—fingers crossed—there will be more opportunity to do the same next week. There is a herd of empty pots here with me, and my little pup, Murphy. Lettuce and…

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.
