Cathi’s blog posts are simply unique, engaging, humour-filled, with doses of wisdom tucked in between. I doubt I will ever look at peas in a pod or Swiss cheese, old shoes and everything in-between the same way again. She has excellent conversations with the most mundane things in life. Take a peek.
Hello lovely, welcome to June. It’s a blazing hot month over here – UAE – and I wonder how your ends doing?
I would like to thank all the recent follows to my blog. It’s a pleasure to connect and share this space with you. I host monthly blog parties where you get to network with other bloggers.
Do make yourself comfortable. Refreshments are nicely arranged down the page: Drinks, Chocolates, Cakes, Donuts, freshly squeezed juice, Coffee, Tea and so much more.
The little party rules.
Be friendly. Mix and mingle with others. Don’t be a wallflower. Blog parties offer the opportunity to meet many other bloggers in one place. Use the opportunity effectively.
Please leave your blog link or post link in the comment box below along with an introduction.
It’s one link per comment, but come back as often as you’d like, that way it’s easier for others to focus on a link one at a time.
Have fun, this is a great way to find bloggers and have them find you.
Please show some love. Reblog this post. It helps all of us! The more people that see and participate in it, the more potential new follows! So, share and share voraciously!
So, how are you investing in yourself?
I have a second blog abode just in case you want to check it out.
This month I am promoting Nutstrok’s new book as my own little way of supporting other authors. Just click on the image or check my sidebar.
The only phrase I find apt to use in describing this book is ‘it’s pure gold.’ Once I dug into the first chapter from England to Jamestown – the story of Andrew and Molly, I got hooked and didn’t stop till I finished it.
Linda paints a vivid, compelling story that I was transported back into time and could picture the voyage, the misery and the tough as leather lifestyle of these pioneers. Yet, it’s filled with verve, the strength of body and mind, resilience and inspiration.
A beautiful series that strongly reminds me of Janette Oke’s books which I absolutely adore.
Ex-pat This poem from Rick makes me smile because it hits home. As one who has lived the life of an ex-pat here and there in the past decade, I sometimes find myself adrift in my cup, pensive with thoughts of nostalgia of home across the ocean in Africa and home across the ocean in North America.
Hurricane Matthew Haiku The gust of the wind and ripping sounds captured in Pamela’s short video and haiku tells you how of the beautiful side of nature even when it’s furious and frightening.
You are who you are? Who are you in all these things? A thought provoking poem.
We have hit October so fast that sometimes my mind spins at the way time zooms by. Doesn’t it make one feel like a happy hamster running around in circles in pursuit of time? 🙂
Anywhoo, I hope your weekend is going great. You are most welcome to my monthly meet & mingle, shake a leg & jingle, connect & interact with other awesome folks in here.
If this is your first-time visit, the rules of play are outlined below, if you are an old-timer, you know the drill.
Grab some refreshments and favours which nicely arranged down the page. Feel free to indulge, these are zero calories😉
Just some little party rules:
You must mix and mingle with others. Don’t be a wallflower. Go say hello to someone and you can participate in the Tag a poem, a thought or quote below.
Let us know where you are blogging from.
Please leave your blog link or post link in the comment box below along with introductions.
It’s one link per comment, but come back as often as you’d like, that way it’s easier to focus on a link at a time for others.
Please reblog, spread the word of the party like butter, or like, share on Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, Facebook, etc. Tell your family, friends, blogging neighbours, even your blogging pets.
Have fun, it’s a great way to find bloggers and have them find you.

Thank you for coming to my party and supporting my blog. You rock.
A Little Poem
In vivacious splashes of orange, burnt gold, and green,
We cycle out of another month in a couple of days and the way time zooms by sometimes make me feel like a hamster running around in circles in pursuit of time 🙂

X-men: is it possible that you are a mutant? An interesting perception.
Notably sound: I enjoyed this post from Roo. As we age, the younger generation tends to think that the older parent are no longer as sound as ever. I like Roos’ practical approach of proving them wrong 😉
Leak: There are some days that present you with challenges that make you feel like pulling out your hair, but like the saying goes, attitude is everything.
Tween God and Me: Reading this makes me feel refreshed and better, though I know as humanity we have long way to go in helping others.
The armed woman: Ha, ha! Don’t try this! You might miss the target 😉
Smiles: the best makeup any human can wear is a warm smile.
Change for them: will you do so? Are you able to do so? Short and wise quote.
Tiny teacher still a bear: Most times we need to learn from the children. I loved this short narrative story and I think I read it in a child’s voice 😉
I loved the idea of her: a short tale of love, expectations, and the interesting tapestry formed when you fall in love with someone whose ideology is in direct opposite of yours.
