Are there Miracles?

The Light of Christmas – 2022

Are there miracles?
Yes, whether or not you believe
The Light of LOVE is upon us 
Arriving on Christmas Eve

O! Let the Light come through
Into your longing Heart
For miracles are made of Love
It’s been so from the start

The story told for ages
That comes to us today
Is about a child born who loved
In a guileless and perfect way

All this child asks of us
No matter what you may believe
Is that we Love one another
What wonders we’ll achieve!

So, won’t you come and share with me
Today, this glorious Light
And Love everything that lives on Earth
With a gentle and wise insight?

Because love is a limitless power
It can make Heaven on Earth
It’s simple yet profound
To believe in Love’s sweet birth!

Cozy Autumn Mysteries

Hello Everyone,

It’s November! The leaves are turning and the days are getting shorter … and shorter.…

It’s a great time to curl up with a mystery. Get the grey matter in motion! I’ve joined with several other authors to bring you a collection of (super affordable!) cozy mysteries.

My Joy Forest Cozy Mysteries are”no murder” mysteries because, well, life is full of mysteries, with or without a breathless body.

The charm of a cozy mystery is that you can either engage with the sleuth in figuring out the puzzle, or you can just go along for the ride, and let the sleuth do all the work!

Enjoy Your Cozy Autumn Mysteries!

A Clowder of Cats – A Joy Forest Mystery

Welcome to A Clowder of Cats in THE JOY FOREST COZY MYSTERY SERIES – a world of eccentric small-town people and small town strange events. It’s a near-future world with robots and flying cars and a whole lot of mystery. People – or creatures! – go missing, a community gets involved – mysteries must be solved! 

Evanora Montana, a violet-eyed sorceress, begs Joy to help her find her beloved cat, Booji. Joy refuses, but  Evanora finally convinces  Joy to look for her “little Booji.” Embarking on the search for Booji with her ever-faithful robot cat, Robbie, they succeed in finding several cats…

But! No Booji.

What to do with all these cats?!? 

Not to worry, they all find homes. But where is Booji?

  *   *   *

I’ve just finished writing A Clowder of Cats … it’s out to my beta readers, and will be available for you to read, soon.

If you enjoy unraveling an enigma along with the protagonist, you’ll love THE JOY FOREST COZY MYSTERY SERIES!

Christmas Eve

‘Tis the night before Christmas and all through the house
Every creature is stirring, run, hide, little mouse!
The stockings were packed in some box or trunk
Dad’s pulling his hair out, Mom’s in a funk

The children are tearing about with shrieks
Sugared up to their eyeballs has made them freaks
Wrapping paper is piled from ceiling to floor
And the parents are wondering what Christmas is for

They’ve been running about spending all their money
Calling each other names none of them “Honey,”
Stressed, exhausted, and fighting the crowd,
WHAT IS CHRISTMAS FOR?!” Dad wonders aloud –

“I spend every dime for stuff we don’t need
All the while frustration is what we breed
Do we really have to buy all these THINGS?
Is this the Peace, Love, and Joy the season brings?”

Mom, hearing Dad with his well-founded thought
Said, “Let us returned some of this ‘stuff’ we bought
And instead, let’s go for a nice long walk
Put down our phones and to each other talk!

“Because you’re right with what you propose
The Spirit of Christmas is like a rose
Each petal contains the Secrets of Life
Let’s shut off the noise and cut out the strife

“I’m happy to give a small gift or two
But the best we have, Sweetheart, is me and you,
Let’s return to the Spirit of Christmas TODAY
To heck with what the Joneses might say!

“We’ll create fond memories we’ll always treasure
The true gift of a lifetime, beyond all measure
When remembering that what Christmas is for
Is to Love and to Cherish each other evermore!
                                  Not the Joneses, as told to Blythe Ayne

Kitties Enjoy Caturday Christmas Caterwauling!

Caturday Christmas Caterwauling

I’m not too sure what’s going on here with the red stockings and black heels, but aside from that, the kitty crew is clearly enjoying full-bodied Caturday Christmas Caterwauling!

May your holidays be full of merry-making and caterwauling – or at least a demure Christmas carol or two.

SNOW!
I just stepped out to take in the evening air, and much to my surprise, snowflakes the size of tea cups are floating gently down. The first snow of the season – soooo beautiful!

I Wish You and Yours a Blessed Holiday Season
With Love from House of Tree,

Guess what? It’s Caturday!

And, yes, I was absent last Saturday. It was my dear friend, Maruis’ 86th – that’s eighty-sixth birthday! We had such a lovely celebration. The first time some of us have seen each other in months!

But, even as the activities of humans go merrily along, so too do the adventures of kitties! What’s going on with Miss Kitty and Henry-the-Cat?
