The cycles of time have been flowing pretty fast now. I am sure you have noticed this as well. 😉 Seasons come and go and I am grateful that my focus is to create, love, laugh and smile. If I just focused on the seasons flying by and my watch, I would be a nervous wreck. I got to the point where routine is how I shine and just being is what I focus on.
What are somethings that you do to help you through your day/s? For me I find that there has to be a balance between rest and activity.
On to really exciting news otherwise called the fruit of time well spent…
I am proud to announce another project that I have had the privilege to kibitz on and help format to completion. Award winning children’s book author Victor Orne – writes for children of all ages. This is the second book in a trilogy and will be a chapter book for ages 8+. Check out the first in the trilogy here —> Where Mice Meet the Sea
The Mouse That Winked will be published on September 1st 2025

One of the blurbs coming in for The Mouse That Winked:
“Victor Orne has given us a rare and luminous gift in The Mouse That Winked. As both a sequel and a standalone tale, it speaks to the ageless part of us that longs for meaning, connection, and peace. Through Woody’s humble journey, readers are reminded that the smallest acts of kindness carry the power to ripple outward in ways we may never fully see.
This is a book to keep close—on the shelf, yes, but more importantly, in the heart.”
Our final proof is coming soon and I will post when The Mouse That Winked Pre-sale option is available. I recommend this book for children of all ages 😀
To get through my day, I spend a lot of time outside in my garden. It’s stress free, as long as it’s not too hot. And artwork – the amateur that I am.
A cute book! Thanks for sharing it here. It sounds delightful. Have a beautiful July. ❤

My grandfather had the most beautiful garden in the world. I remember going out to pick huge tomatoes and eating them like apples. You should have seen my grandmother’s root cellar!
I am happy to hear that your garden brings you peace. Thank you for your comment about the book. We are really excited about it.

I’m trying to grow tomatoes for the 13th year in a row. It’s too cold here, apparently, but one of these days…. Lol
