What are you good at?
One of the things I am good at is organizing, when I put my mind to it and am in the mood. Lol, just being honest. That’s not to say I am messy. But there comes a time when you look at your work area and say, “Oh, hell no!”

Hi There!
Welcome to my site, and thank you for visiting. Please feel free to share this blog and any posts herein.
Having It All
What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
To me ‘Having It May’ means having a life in Christ Jesus. Without Him life is empty because there is no forgiveness of my sins. Who would I confess them to? He died for us, thereby removing the sins of all who believe. My life is full. With Jesus I am rich in spiritual wealth. I don’t need money and things to be considered as ‘having it all’.

Talk To
I would like to talk to my sister. But there’s a trick to this. She’s very difficult to pin down because she’s extremely busy. I am going home to Michigan next month for my dad’s 90th birthday party, so I will see here then and have a chance to catch up.
Most Dear
What personal belongings do you hold most dear?
I have to say that it’s my grandmother’s aquamarine pendant necklace. It’s from the early 20th century. I’m not sure about the exact date. It could be earlier.
Music and Writing
Sometimes we need an extra push while we write that ramps up our creative juices. For me, I listen to music while I write. The music I listen to depends on the type of scene I am writing. Mostly , I listen to instrumental music, but there are times I include lyrical pieces. Here’s a list of music I listen to when I write.
The Sound of Silence by Disturbed (Cyril Remix)
Hero by Alan Walker & Sasha Alex Sloan
Pilgrim by Enya
Heart over Mind by Alan Walker & Daya
Welcome to Walkerworld by Alan Walker
Fantasy Music – Daydream Mix by CacnaPaul
Dragon Empress by BrunuhVille
The Realm of the Fallen King (feat. Sharm) by BrunuhVille
Collections
I have always been a strong proponent of not having collections because they take up space. But, if I have a collection that ‘moves’ so to speak, that’s ok. Here’s what I mean. I have a collection of beads of all types, but I create beaded jewelry with them and sell the pieces as craft fairs. There are various reasons why people collect certain items. I decided to collect beads because, even though the cabinet I keep them in takes up space, it isn’t a large space. At the same time I get to do something I enjoy, that is to make something with them and give others joy when they purchase the jewelry I create with them.
Below is a photo of one of my pieces of jewelry.

The Troubles by L. M. Montes
Before me rolled the ocean
in to shore then ran away,
tis like a problem,
washing over,
then gone to bug another day.
There stood on wooden steps
my thoughts aloft and set adrift,
a noise behind me niggled,
with crescendo starting in
to send me to an early crypt.
But I moved past in safety’s arms,
ignoring evil’s threats,
the noise rolled in,
then ran away,
for me it did not get.
