I'm falling behind on my reading list due to revisions on one novel and research on another.

This afternoon, going to curl up on the couch with this literary classic while the rain beads the window.

Being in the arts is about owning our success and knowing our accomplishments were recognized because of one thing - we did our best work.

The countdown to Christmas movie draw is in full swing. We've watched classics like White Christmas and Meet Me In St. Louis, & favorites like A Christmas Story, Elf and The Santa Clause.

Tonight's pick, a triple feature of classic animated shorts, with the talents of Boris Karloff and Joel Grey.

Back on stage this winter with a fabulous cast and crew.

It was a tough audition process, so much talent in the room, I was in awe of my fellow thespians ❤️🎭

Details to come...

It's baking season 😄

I'm not usually a baker, but my husband started talking about it last night and I got inspired - orange zest shortbread drizzled with dark chocolate.

Getting ready for my hubby's birthday celebration in wine country.

The desert air agrees with me - still dry - at least until that next bottle of wine 😁🍷

I am truly grateful to live this life.

It's Remembrance Day in Canada, and without the sacrifice of our soldiers I would not have this life.

The world is always changing, tomorrow is never promised so I live in gratitude today where I can call my life my own ❤️ - and I never take it for granted 🙏

Happy Samhain 🎃

Tonight we prepare to embrace the dark half of the season, to sweep away the energy that no longer serves us, and sow the seeds of new dreams and possibilities in a new year. Blessed be 🧙

What a magical night 🎃

An array of spooky stories and poems from the writing ( & ghostly) communities @rclas.bsky.social & Haunted History BC

I thoroughly enjoyed everyone's readings and what a wonderful prelude to All Hallows Eve.

And I thank the king to my queen, for his neverending support.
