My life is filled with fateful moments, little happenstances, and slips of serendipity. Sit upon the dock and gaze out at the serene water and misty sky, and allow me to share my life with you a spell.

It is all about words. Your words are enough to shatter someone's heart. Your words are enough to make a broken heart unbroken. Words have the power to change your life perspectives.

Hey, Lori! I’m sending Jane Basil by to see if she can connect with you. She has recently been put on some medication that is really blocking her creativity. I know you feel that way as well on your meds. Thought you might could give her some advice. Hope she follows through and gets in touch with you. Hope that was ok. I think your insights would be valuable for her.
Thank you, Calen 🙂 I would love to speak with her and help in any way I can.
Hey there! Just stopping by to check up on you. You’ve been awfully quiet lately. Everything ok? {{{Lori}}}
Hello dear friend. I’ve had the flu now going on just over 2 weeks. Nasty bugger of a flu too… whole family has been sick. I just haven’t the energy to write much, nor sit up long at the computer. I miss you though and hopefully, I will be well soon.
❤
HAPPY 50th Lori!
Know you are taking a break so hope all is good – my prayers and thoughts are with you, especially today! I really miss you so I am looking forward to your return – but not before you are ready.
Take care:) kate

Thanks, Lori, by the way, for the reblog. I’m looking forward to getting to know you. And I have to say, that’s a NICE touch disabling comments and sending folks to the original site. I would never have thought of that. Where do you go to disable comments on the post? (Showing my VAST ignorance of all things technical here!
You are most welcome 🙂 I learned that little trick from Jason over at Harsh Reality… when you reblog, you have to go back to your blog, click on Blog Posts (not ADD) and find that reblog post (should be the first one), click on Edit and then on the right hand side, where you have the options to add Categories and tags, if you scroll to the bottom you have More Options.. click on it and at the very bottom, you can uncheck Allow Comments. Then just update the post and tada.. no one can comment. They are forced to go to the original post if they want to leave a comment 😀 I hope that makes sense.
Yep. I need to try and remind myself to do that. Excellent practice.
Haha – you caught me there as well Kristina. 👍🏻 Thanks for the tip – I will need to write it down so that I can faithfully follow it. I had intended visiting your site anyway but I’ve now learnt this clever tool.
Now I’ll read your posts. 😊
It’s a really good tip 😀 And thank you!
Apologies – I called you Kristina instead of Lori. Is it short for Lorraine as that is my second name? 😀
