50,000 Views in 5 months

After a quiet summer of little blogging and in 5 months total, I’ve hit 50,000 views on my blog!

Thank you so much for all of your support and encouragement!

♥

When I started my blog I had no idea what to expect or even any idea what to write about. The journey has evolved on it’s own and I’m so amazed that even one of you actually wants to read my poetry and posts so thank you so much for helping me build confidence in my writing. There is much more to come I assure you!

♥

I know over the summer my Pay Day Thursdays were interrupted along with the weekly ‘Storetries’ but they will return in October for those of you that are wondering and interested!

Also, the ads that keep popping up at the end of my posts are not there by my choice, Word Press just decides to put them where they want…for now.

♥

THANK YOU SO MUCH, TODAY IS A HAPPY DAY FOR ME!!

Facebook Resolve

So I have been ‘working’ on my fb page as of late and giving the social networking some love and attention. My facebook page has been growing slowly but surely and I have enjoyed all of the wonderful pages, images and blogs that I have stumbled across over the past few days. ( you can join me on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/writingsofamrsjennifer?ref=hl , head on over and hit like, you can receive snippets into my life there along with all of my blog posts )

My face book page was mentioned in an article posted earlier this week by Joy Findley that features Zee Southcombe and she discusses social networking and blogging that you can take a look at here if you’d like :

This morning was by far my most favorable day on facebook when I happened upon a blog post entitled Resolve by Mostly True Stuff.

Isn’t resolve such a fantastic word?

The resolve of the human spirit has always been a fascination of mine and this post puts it all into such beautiful, raw, real and compelling words.

If you have a moment please check out her blog post. I promise that you won’t be disappointed.

A Series of Poems on The Senses: The Poetry of Sound

The poetry of sound

Lingers all around

The wind in my ears

The crashing waves

The faint cry of a seagull

The distant hum of a motor boat Continue reading →

The Clarity of Stone

My ring

Such a sparkly thing

It shines and glimmers

A flashy reminder of you

The cut, so precious and rare

Created for a love that you cannot compare Continue reading →

Natures Love Song

The tree covered hill tops

Alive with the chirping of birds

Their songs echoing

Providing solace and joy to my soul

They sing their song

Encouraging nature along,

Natures love song

Giving rise to the earth

Innocence

Interpretation.

Innocence

Shunned, ashamed,

you turn away

but you know no other way.

This too shall pass

It’s only a season,

that must be the reason.

You muster up the strength,

lift yourself up off the floor.

What was once,

is no more.

is this innocence? (rnreverie.wordpress.com)

Shadows and Flowers

*ORIGINAL POST DATE APRIL 5th*

So this morning I happened upon the blog naming constellations. More specifically a piece entitled Slow Rhapsody http://namingconstellations.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/slow-rhapsody Maybe it was all the bacon talk (I love me some bacon) or his writings that reminded me of the weightiness that winter can bring (being Canadian I am well aware of this feeling) or maybe it was his beautiful poem. But what I do know is that I was immediately inspired to write and this is what came of it.

You never know who is reading or what your writings can do for other people.

Trust your instincts. Trust your intuition. I can’t say that enough.

Shadows and flowers (spring is in the air)

It’s so close yet it seems so far.

The hint of a memory, like a glimmer of a shadow that catches your attention out of the corner of your eye, certain that you saw it you turn your head to find there’s nothing there, you turn your head even more with hopes of finding even a fading shadow.

You realize it was never there only a distant memory of what was.

But you know. You remember.

You can recall the smells, the sights and the sounds.

Your body becomes alive, your senses heightened.

Somehow you know.

The flowers are about to grow.

I am vacationing to a chalet in the eastern townships of Quebec for a family gathering this weekend. We’ve rented a chalet to celebrate Granddad’s 90^th birthday.

I am bringing two crock pots full of sausages and bacon.

I will be wearing my rubber boots.

And I will be searching for where the flowers are about to grow.
