My life is on hold right now. My mother is ill, and I’m preparing for a cross-country trip to visit with her. Over the past several days, most of my time has been consumed by back-and-forth phone calls with my sister.

I have had little time to visit all of your lovely blogs, comment, and share your posts. I will be offline for the most part over the next two months.

My mother is eighty-seven years old. I pray she lives to see her eighty-eighth birthday on Christmas Eve, Christmas being her favorite holiday.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Summer’s end and Autumn’s beginning. Be well, my friends, and remember to keep your hearts open. Namaste ❤
