Writing with one arm, and a Review – The Astrologer by Scott G F Bailey
I've done something to my arm. My left arm, thank goodness, not my right (I'm right-handed). Pinched a nerve is my guess - all I know is it aches almost constantly (the only time it doesn't is when the rest of my body is in an incredibly awkward position!) and if I move it in … Continue reading Writing with one arm, and a Review – The Astrologer by Scott G F Bailey

The Unfinished Journals of Elizabeth D – read-a-long #3
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Nichole Bernier does such a great job of digging into the fears we all have, of showing the fears and other emotions that affect how we act/react in daily life. Overall I think the message of this book is one of how similar we all really are underneath. We … Continue reading The Unfinished Journals of Elizabeth D – read-a-long #3
