Author-gardener-library professional Sheryl Normandeau has this quote on her blog and it sums up my own situation well:
“I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.” – Jennifer Yane.
I’m far behind on blogging and promoting the new book. So your helping Lauren and me — by buying it, recommending it to schools, libraries and parents and sending us supportive messages — matters more than I can adequately describe.
These flowers are to thank you for your recent support of Myrtle’s new adventures.
Special thanks to the following Myrtle the Purple Turtle fans:
Sheryl Normandeau, the Alberta writer, nature-lover and library professional; Sheryl’s posts and books are treats to the mind, soul and stomach.
Jennifer O’Meara, an outstanding Canadian journalist who will one day publish a book of her own, I know.
Lavinia Ross, the unique musician-writer and vineyard owner in Oregon, who, with husband Rick, runs Salmon Brook Farms. Listening to your music now, Lavinia!
Wendy MacDonald, the British Columbia writer-photographer-podcaster whose soulful poetry, pictures, prose and strong faith are a balm to the spirit.
Laurie Graves, whose own fictional character Maya makes me wish I had a Book of Everything and could time-travel too!
Blessings to you all!
Dear Cynthia, being counted as part of your friendship circle is plentiful thanks for each of us. ❤
Blessings, always ~ Wendy
It works both ways, dear Wendy.
xo
Thank you, Cynthia, the flowers are beautiful! I agree with Wendy, that belonging to your circle of friends is plentiful thanks for each of us. ❤
Well, I have to say it’s a touch of grace for me.
‘Twas my pleasure! Thought you might like to know that I just requested the first Myrtle book for a special young person in my life. Also, I have asked my library to carry both books.
Excellent. Thank you, Laurie. Hope your books are doing well. Maya is a superb, spunky character.
Oh, thanks so much!
What a nice way to say thanks Cynthia! Flowers are always in style. 🙂
Thanks, Brad.
You’re welcome.
Love the flowers, surprised?
Haha! Happy weekend, Amy.
Hurrah for blog friends who know a good book and how to write about it!
I second that emotion, Lisa!
Beautiful flowers. I can’t wait to see trilliums again!
Be well.
Me too. It snowed again today!
Here too, but only about an inch.
Beautiful flowers for beautiful people from a beautiful person. Lovely!
And that’s a beautiful comment. Thank you for it.

Sending you good energy! And an awareness of the difference your message makes in the world . . .
Thank you, dear K. I’m so pleased to observe the developments in your young people’s lives. You’re a great mom.
That quote…. I identify, my life feels like that somedays!
Guess we need to stop and smell the roses.
Thank you. Carpe Diem indeed!
I would seize the day, but sometimes it feels like trying to grasp smoke!
Myrtle’s Game will be a birthday present to my granddaughter! She loved the first book!
I remember that, and I’m most grateful for the vote of confidence, Tiny. Hope all goes well with you and your family, and please say a special hello to your granddaughter for me.
I wish Spring would hurry along and get here, I can’t wait!!! Cheers for an early Spring and happy blooming!
I have 2 special little girls who will be getting your next book in their Easter Baskets!! This has been a year already of feeling like several days at once are hitting me. A bit overwhelmed with the fostering of the little girls and so behind on reading blogs. I’m hoping to catch up over the next few days. Happy Spring Cynthia!
Thank you very, very much, Tina. I’ve been bad at promoting this book, so your purchase matters even more! Thank you again and happy Spring!
