Here I go,
starting out my fourth year of this blog!
Who would've ever known that I have so much to say?!
I write that with tongue in cheek.
Those who really know Me, know how much I ramble
They know I truly have very much to say.
Non stop chit chat.
In fact, in grade school my report cards always read -
"Talks too much".
"Distracting to others. Not every child can talk and do their work."
"When telling a story she goes from point A to point D, then to point C before returning to point B."
I still do that. Go from point A to D to C to B.
In fact, I'm doing it right now.
I came here to write about something totally different,
but yet, here I am writing all of this.
Those who don't know me so well,
or their energy doesn't fit with mine,
probably think that I'm quiet,
(which I can be when my mood is off because I don't need to spill my negativity onto anyone)
or shy.
Or a snob.
But that is not my truth.
People tend to make up their own narrative of someone that they don't really know.
And even if they knew a person in the past, they knew that version of them.
It doesn't mean that they know them today.
People change and shift and grow. We're supposed to.
My energy just expands and my walls disintegrate with similar energies.
I can read your vibe from across the room.
I have always been that way,
long before we talked about empaths or intuition in main stream conversation.
But, we always talked about it in the mom's family since I was a little kid.
It was just different wording.
And as I get older, I protect my energy, who I give it to, who I let in.
"Once bitten, twice shy" comes to mind.
So if you fall in the category of knowing me, truly knowing me,
thank you for gracing me with yourself, with your spirit.
With your love.
I am blessed with the connection.
And if you are in the latter part of the two categories above,
let's try a little harder to connect our energies the next time we see each other.
We can all do better.
Ok, so the reason I came here today.
2025 is starting out on an enlightening note.
A spiritual one.
A promise of a better year.
A promise of closeness.
A promise of connection..
It started on a note that made me smile with genuine comfort.
Here's the story:
I was looking for a book. I'm a complete and utter bookworm, my husband is not.
I find so much joy, peace, comfort in reading since the beginning of time.
Well, since the beginning of the time that I learned how to read.
I want my husband to share my enthusiasm. Or at the very least humour me.
And I do think that igniting that creative part of his brain is important for him.
For all of us.
This morning I was looking for a novel that I read quite some time ago.
I believed I still had it but wasn't sure. I lend, give, share books all the time.
( I just looked at the clock, it's 1:11 ! #iykyk )
And Yes, I read paperback books.
I know, some might tsk at that. But it's who I am.
Anyway, I have this book in my mind that I know my husband could get this teeth into.
I thought I'd check my office first. Not that I'm even certain that it's there.

I scan the books stacked on the shelves.
I can''t see this particular book.
Some books are pushed so far back on the shelves that I can't read their spines.
But on my tippiest of tip toes, on the very bottom of a stack, I think I see the authors name.
I reach up to slide the stack forward.
An avalanche of books fall out of the cabinet.
I move out of the way because you know, who wants to get hit with books.
But, I innately catch one random book on its way down.
It's the one that was on the bottom of the stack.
And It is the author that I'm looking for, just not the right book.
Huh? I don't even remember this book.
I read so much and it's obviously been years since I've read it.
Maybe this book will do?
I open the cover to read the front insert.
Resting on the inside front page is a feather.
Not tucked in the spine of the book
but just lying freely on the middle of the page.
My smile is so big it reaches my eyes.
0:-)
If you don't know the symbolism of a feather,
look it up.
You might be pleasantly surprised.
And if you know, you know.
And if I know you know and these are things that we've spoke about on many occasions, you are the first friends I wanted to share this with. There are many of you.
Happy New Year!
Shine bright.
xo
Oh! If you're wondering, I did find the book!
