Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

Yes, I do. Reading for fun, like enjoying a great novel that takes me to another place in my mind, is one of my favorite activities. Another favorite pastime is coloring. This past Christmas, I received a coloring book that I had wanted. On the weekends, I love to play video games.

“How 2023 Unfolded: A Journey Through Challenges, Triumphs, and Blessings”

Looking back on 2023, woven with challenges and triumphs, I find myself reflecting on the profound blessings that have defined this year. Each experience has been a step on my journey, contributing to my personal growth and gratitude. Join me as I unravel the highlights of 2023, exploring the moments that have shaped my path, from overcoming health hurdles to forging meaningful connections and witnessing the flourishing of my creative endeavors.

My year started with health trials I faced, as my relationship with the Lord strengthened.

In February, I underwent a life-changing hysterectomy surgery that not only marked the end of my severe iron deficiency anemia but also empowered me to embrace life and pursue my passions. As the months unfolded, this newfound vitality led me to forge new friendships and deepen the bonds with my close friends and family.

Following my passions has led me to discover new tools for both writing and reading. I found a pen from Livescribe that records while taking notes and links to Livescribe+ app. Additionally, I acquired the Scanmarker Air Pen Scanner, which is very cool and helpful for reading books. The Scanmarker app allows me to scan the text, and it reads the material aloud.

This year marked significant growth for my blog, and I am grateful for your readership and being a part of my journey.

2023 has truly been an amazing year, and I eagerly anticipate what the next year holds!

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

My office would be spacious, well-organized, and cat-friendly. By the huge windows, there would be a cat tree for my cat to watch the birds or sunbathe. In the corner, I would have a comfy chair for reading with a lamp, and next to it would be a huge bookshelf filled with my favorite novels. The desk would have enough space where I could lay out my work. My decor would be beach-themed. The lighting would be the best that I could afford, and highlight the office.
