Just A Quiet Moment

Posted on August 31, 2021 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!
