I am thrilled to have my butterfly garland featured in the current issue of Somerset Life. There is so much heART in this publication. It embraces autumn treasures and offers inexpensive ideas n' thoughts for the upcoming holidays. They seem to suddenly sweep in, once we turn the calendar to October. Anita Joyce touches your heart sharing a story about loss and creating new traditions n' chapters in one's life. Vivienne McMaster shares an uplifting view on a soul mission to Be Your Own Beloved. Madelyn Mulvaney reminds us in her article, Worth the Risk, as she shares her journal and thoughts while sailing the sea.
Here Vivienne shares her soul's mission.
Autumn transforms my mood. I do get a bit homesick, but I have a few cures for that. Serenitea helps!
Here Vivienne shares her soul's mission.

I have found real friendships through blogging. It is a gift to find so many generous, good-hearted souls in this community!
I want to give a shout out to a fun blogger and great friend Yolanda Renee-her book, "Memories of Murder" is book #2 in the Detective Quaid mysteries.
Yolanda has an adventurous spirit. She use to live in Alaska, where she hiked the Brooks Range and learned to sleep under the midnight sun. (I use to live there-you either love it or hate it.) I think we can tell how it affected Yolanda. Alaska is the setting in both of her books.
Congrats Yolanda!

Another blogger and great friend is Nick Wilford. Nick has recently started an Editing Service business. Nick has a big heart-you may remember he was responsible for the anthology, "Overcoming Adversity"-for Andrew.
Nick is a professionally trained editor and proofreader, with a background in
journalism. He will use his skills to help you get your text in the best
possible shape it can be. He also is a writer and passionate about stories. So stop by and see all the services Nick has to offer.
Congrats Nick!

And congratulations to Yolanda and Nick as well.
I am super thrilled for you.
Having a copy of Somerset Life in my hands makes me breathe slower, settling into the gentle spirit of this most wonderful publication but then to spy your article brings extra joy.
You so deserve this recognition from Stampington.
Wishes
Lynne
Congrats Ella! I am so thrilled for each one of your heart felt successes! You have so much heart and a kind soul...
All the best to Yolanda and Nick!!!!
That is true of Alaska, love it or hate it, but I've found very few visitors that hate it - except those raised there and wanting to explore the rest of the world. Although to be honest after spending a full six months on the north slope I couldn't wait to find a warmer climate! LOL
Thanks Ella!
Most of my current friendships are with other bloggers. Since I don't see my old home friends much anymore we're out of touch. But it is nice when I do get to see them or talk to them on the phone.

I found a lot of military people did not like it. You know orders, not by choice. I loved it-until Mt. Spurr erupted and dropped a plume of ash on us. Three days indoors drove me nuts. I have fond memories-but winters are too long~
