Summer Changes.

Summer seems to be drifting away. These past months have seemed strangely empty. I say strangely because I have been doing many things!          I went on the most amazing week long Catholic retreat. The talks were so inspirational and helped me with so many things. We had a day of silence, and though I confess that I was not always silent the times that were quiet really moved me. I was not looking forward to the silence as I find it hard to not talk xD. But I really think some of my best memories were from that silently wonderful day. (We had an hour of adoration in the chapel at 11 pm <3)           I also assisted with a kids program at church and that was really fun, attended a dance and experienced our first staycation. As well as that, in the beginning of summer, there was play practice. But once the first retreat ended not much happened. Only lots of book reading and Tutus Tuus. Of course, it has been a wonderful summer despite the lack of crazy activity. Being with m

It's a pleasure to be here! I'm a voracious bookworm, and have been ever since I discovered the written word. I love both partaking of (reading) and creating (writing) words. Which is perfect, because my website, SKGfun, is a conglomeration of both reading and writing. Love reading? You'll want to read our blog weekly and then check out our bimonthly e-magazine. Love wri

Of letters and Love

Dearest, I fell behind today. A storm came up and as I was looking for shelter, I slipped, and suddenly I was sitting in a mud puddle. I ruined the cloak you gave me, I am certain the dirt will never come out. But all day, I could think of you only, my darling. Even as I sat in the puddle that was to ruin my cloak, I could think of nothing but the laughter my clumsiness would have brought you. Somehow that made it easier to get up and find shelter. Even so, losing almost a whole day of travel is a crushing feeling. I must leave the rest of this pitiful letter to you, my love, for another time. For it is getting dark and I must gather wood.       Always yours Beloved, I have the best of news, last night's frost did not kill me. I must confess, that as my already feeble fire dwindled down to nothing, I felt all the courage and hope I had ever had leave me; and to fill the hole my lack of confidence left, came despair and loneliness.

2017

Hello It has already been 2017 for 3 days, so this post is late. But that doesn't matter. I am so incredibly excited for this year, even if I am only now just realizing that as fact. I know that 2017 will likely bring hardships as every year does, but it will also bring amazing experiences and memories, just like 2016 and years before.  I am thrilled to be able to have this year. There will be great moments with friends, there will be life lessons, there will be growing in faith. Because this year, I will be trying so hard to get to know my heavenly family better, and I can't wait. I know I will struggle with this task many times, but I will try to push forward. I will also be trying to do better with my home life. And, in a weird way, that also makes me excited. It will feel so good to be helping around the house! And, I do really want to do better with my writing, which is an intimidating idea. I think the main reason I haven't been keeping up with my bl

Thanksgiving!

I just want to start off by wishing all you fantastic readers an amazing Thanksgiving! I hope it showers you with blessings like mine has already done. I went over to visit the sweet,loving and caring older lady who lives across from us with my little(ish) sister Elsa. And I am thankful for her. She is just so kind to us and gives us the most amazingly tight hugs every time we see her. She found out that I am allergic to earrings that are not gold or silver, so she went to her jewelry box and found some earrings she thinks are gold! It isn't the earrings that mean so much to me. It's her generosity and her love that makes me so thankful for her; she is always ready to lend a hand. I love her. I have two amazing priests at my Catholic church. They have done so much for me and my church. They have introduced Vespers to my parish, they always have my family in their prayers, and I am so thankful for them. Our life would be so different without them. I am thankful that I have

I Entered a Writing Contest!?!?!

I entered a writing contest today. and holy moly I am nervous!  Especially after reading my entry, because I saw thing i want to change but I've already sent it in! i will give you the story exactly like it was when i sent it in though  I really want to get 3rd place or an honorable mention , ( there is no way i can get 2nd or 1st ) I have never had my writing judged by real judges before so i am kinda dying. But I think my storey is good.       Anyway, here is the link to the monday minute challenge, you guys should enter! Okay, so they give you things you have to incorporate in your story, you can use one, or all of them, but you have to have at least one in your story. I only used one, a mirror. My submission is 225 words Revealing Reflection        In its reflection, I saw myself as I really was. I remembered as I looked at my myself now, how I used to feel when I looked into a mirror, I was always left dissatisfied, and hurt. “I wasn’t pretty enough, I had too many freckl

LOOK ITS THE PLAY! A Merchant in Venice!!! :D

Heyo! Here are the links to the play I was in! There are two nights, I am in both nights, but they have two people playing some of the girl characters, so thats why i am giving you links to both nights!        I'm so sad it's over! Putting my script away was harder than ever before. I actually put it off for a few days. I love taking it out and looking at everyone's signatures. You see, after every play we all sign scripts. It's one of my favorite parts about being in a play. I love it when the directors write little notes when they sign your script! I just LOVE acting! This year I had the most lines i've ever had! I guess that why it was harder to put m y script away!?!?!! Anywho, this play is long, but you should watch all of it!  Please do!  Of course not both ( unless you want to) But watch one to the every ending of curtain call! There are so many cool dances and even singing! It's so worth watching! Saturday night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
