Happy Heavenly Birthday to my kind, loving, stubborn, impatient, honest, singing, deep-voiced, mountaineer, very-chill-once-he-retired, super-picky-with-food, never-uttered-a-criticism-ever, should-have-been-a-cowboy Dad! 🩵
“You made it to 89 and then left us just five days later. I know you are doing well as you have visited in dreamtime and there was much lightness and ease, but I wouldn’t mind hearing your deep singing voice again when you can. We all miss you terribly! Love you forever.” 🩵

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers and to all those who have been mothering in some way.
Here is mine. She no longer looks quite like this, though this is how I think of her and I am sure this is how she thinks of herself.
The main thing is that she is still with us, despite all the challenges. I get to talk to her every day and will be spending more time with her in a few weeks. That is a blessing I don’t take lightly.

For those who have missed it or who don’t get my newsletter, there is a new post on the blog in which I share about my personal experiences with various holistic treatments and therapies on my wellness journey.
It is the 5th installment in my Self Help series, which begins with chapter one and dealing with panic attacks. You can easily find the previous 4 once you get to this newest one. The link is in profile under “latest post”, or you can comment WELLBEING below and I will be happy to send you the link directly.
Don’t you just love peonies?
Love and blessings,
Monica

As promised yesterday, here is May’s new Calendar Wallpaper.
May is the Queen of Flowers in the Northern Hemisphere, but of Roses especially, so I just had to feature one - like I do every year, really. I hope you will enjoy it.
As always, you can download the wallpapers for free at the link in profile, or if you prefer, you can comment WALLPAPER on this post, and I will be happy to send you the link.
You will find that I have updated the file proportions to better fit the newer iPhones and iPads.
Wishing you a May of ease, joy and glory and divinely fragrant roses.
Love,
Monica

Good Morning!
The official rose month is just around the corner, and there are already roses blooming everywhere in my neck of the woods. Yesterday on my walk I literally stopped and smelled the roses: heavenly!
I wanted to let you know that the new Calendar Wallpaper will be coming your way tomorrow, and on Friday I will be publishing a new post, which will be first announced in the newsletter coming your way on the same day.
So you might want to keep an eye on your inbox, and if you have not yet subscribed and would like to, you can easily do so at the link in profile, or you can comment SUBSCRIBE and I will message you the link directly.
Blessings and love,
Monica
