Interesting titles on the shelf. Read one or two, recognise some, don’t know others.
It’s always interesting to see what people have on their shelves. It’s a little window into who they are.
Karen, I’ve just spent the last few weeks reading your entire blog from latest to earliest. Really enjoyed it and looking forward to future posts! I like how your posts give me ‘a-ha! moments’ and make me think differently about things I previously just assumed. Also love the Friday Fictioneers. Your blog has a definite purpose and role in the online world, something I’m hoping to work out this year with my own blog. Keep the posts coming!
Hi Jessie. You can’t know how very thrilled I was to read your comments! Thank you for them. It has taken a while, and some experimentation, to find the purpose and role for my blog. I’m surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed sharing the things I discover about writing, and learning from other writers like you who share my love of putting words together. I’m following your blog with pleasure.
Hi Karen, Enjoyed reading your stories, very descriptive and powerful. Thanks for following A mom’s blog. Greatly appreciated and humbled. All the best, Zainab
I’m looking forward to reading the new posts on your blog, Zainab. Best wishes, Karen

Hi Thomas. Thanks for you comments about my blog. I usually don’t take guest bloggers – the few exceptions are writers who are by invitation only. I wish you all the best with your blogging. Cheers, Karen
Hi Karen

Your blog is wonderful, thanks!
Thank you! I hope you get something out of it.
For sure, something important!
Hi karen. I was wanting to register the business name Suddenly 60 and saw that you registered it in 2023. Was there a chance that I could have it at all? I’m doing podcasts around the issues women face around that age and the name is fantastic and on the money for the content that I want to do. Please let me know. Wendy Searle
I haven’t registered that business name, Wendy. I’m not sure where you got that information. Good luck with your venture. Karen
