Writing out my Christmas cards tonight to send them in the mail tomorrow!
Years ago, I sent them to my friends online — I had over 200 cards. 😬 Now I just do family and local close friends.
It’s too expensive, but I wish I could send a card to everyone!!!

My grandpa said that in the aftermath of World War 2, when he had six siblings and no money, one charity helped them survive.
The Ottawa Mission. I donate in my grandpa’s name ever since he passed in 2023.

Between blinding migraines, panic attacks, depression, and chronic fatigue, some days it’s VERY hard to write.
I wish I could do more, but my body doesn’t always let me.
All the books I’ve published already? I am so proud of myself, knowing how hard it’s been. ♥️
