The Cover Girl – A book review

Posted on September 13, 2025 by karenmeg

Writing about writer’s block

Posted on September 12, 2025 by karenmeg

Just about halfway through September and I have not posted in forever. So much for upping the game on writing, journalling, blogging – with more free time now, truly an empty nester – I lack the motivation. I even started … Continue reading →

Mid week mind dump – non wordless Wednesday

Q – is for Quote

Posted on April 28, 2025 by karenmeg

P is for Positivity

Posted on April 24, 2025 by karenmeg
