RockWall Cottage Chronicles
A newsy, sometimes amusing, usually interesting fly-on-the-RockWall view of my life as an author with updates from my Substack adventures.
The small cottage where I live and write has been affectionally named RockWall Cottage because of the rock wall that divides our side of the property from the side of the property where our friends, the owners of the cottage, live. (Learn More)
What Has Been Happening at RockWall Cottage?
On Friday, my daughter and I spent the morning at the Quilt, Craft & Sewing Festival at the Puyallup fairgrounds. I am not a sewing enthusiast and it was a grand adventure into the sewing and fabric world my daughter loves. (Maybe it was the single dress I made for her as a toddler because I wanted to be a good mother!) I have never seen so many beautiful quilts in one place!
This was my favorite booth! The website may be a new happy place to visit on dreary winter days! Check out Good Vibes Quilt Shop!
The leaves are falling and the days grow shorter. We are preparing for Winter while still enjoying Fall. This glorious moment was taken from the window of our favorite restaurant here in our small town.
Speaking of our restaurant! When the weather is nice we can walk there—and sit on the patio in the summer.
News, Highlights from Previous Weeks, What’s Coming, and Other Stuff
I have decided to gravitate from the “formerly Twitter” platform to BlueSky. Maybe it was the blue butterfly! I do not know how much I will engage (the word limit is challenging LOL) but if you are there, please find me @janynemc.bsky.social
Again, the goal is to complete the We Do Therapy Series by mid-December. If anyone would like this series to pick up again in the new year, let me know!
From now until Christmas, I will be using the Saturday content slot to compile a series that I will be posting on Facebook. My plan and how it came to be is explained below. Why a purple elephant? Because trauma is neither red nor blue. It impacts everyone. The first week’s summary is Exploring Trauma. This week I will be focusing on the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) research.
