When the Cat (Read: Husband) is Away

Posted on July 27, 2023July 27, 2023 by Linda Hoye

Both my Kindle and Kobo are charging, so I thought I’d pop in and say hello! It’s quiet around here with Gerry back in B.C. hiking. So quiet, in fact, that I’ve resorted to tuning into the local radio station sometimes—unheard of for one, like me, who embraces silence as often as possible. I’m talking…

An Old School Blog Post

Posted on July 18, 2023 by Linda Hoye

Still coming down from the high that the Saskatchewan Festival of Words was last week and more than a little surprised and grateful that little ol’ Moose Jaw is home to this event. I’m inspired as a reader, writer, and person by the sessions I attended and chewing on next steps (apart from diving into…

Summer Plans

Posted on May 10, 2023 by Linda Hoye

I liken May to January as a month of making plans and setting intentions. Apart from gardening plans (which are slow in coming as I wait to see what surprises will be revealed in new yard), I like to make personal writing, reading, and other creative plans. I envision lazy afternoons spent in the new…

Let the Painting Begin!

Posted on February 21, 2023 by Linda Hoye

It’s Tuesday, but feels like Monday. Yesterday was Family Day, and a holiday, here in Saskatchewan and many other Canadian provinces.

Every day’s a holiday when you’re…

Friday’s Fave Five – December 23

Posted on December 23, 2022 by Linda Hoye

I’m in a liminal space right now, as we settle into our new home in Moose Jaw in the season of Advent. There’s a strange sense of moving forward while still waiting that leaves me feeling discombobulated.

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.
