Beautifully done. You brought so much personality to this piece. Having recently lost my mum, this resonated very much. I’m sitting looking out the window to where blue tits are tending the nesting box and remembering the last trips with my mum. Thank you.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and comment. I sincerely appreciate your kind and thoughtful response. It makes my day to know this brought up memories with your mom, and I'm sorry for your loss. Nothing in life quite prepares us for the loss of our parents. I send healing thoughts around your loss. In gratitude, Lis 💖

I loved this.

As a mother and now Grandma, I treasure my family time. Life is supercharged, and those tiny pockets of connecting and just being together are what make life worth living.

So beautiful, Lis.

Thank you, Lis.

I'm in Sydney so it’s late morning here. Just coming back from a walk in between writing sessions and enjoying a quick coffee at my local before getting back into my novel.

Your words beautifully capture the serenity and depth of nature’s embrace. At the Water’s Edge feels like a gentle whisper to the soul, reminding us of the quiet wisdom held within still moments. The way you intertwine reflection with nature’s presence creates a soothing rhythm—one that lingers even after the last word. Thank you for this soulful journey; it truly resonates with the heart. Looking forward to more of your heartfelt expressions!
