Love and hugs.

π β€
π yay!
π
Beautiful Blog! Nice to meet you! β€ β€
Awwww, thanks Jinjin. Nice to meet you too. π
I suspect if you’re a YWAMer from Vancouver, we know some of the same people. We support Tanya Lyons for example (she has been in Vancouver’s Hasting’s st. area for some time), and our pastor is a YWAMer for ages – Greg Wiens. Grace to you.
I am soooooooo sorry for not responding to you earlier Rusty. I just found this comment in my WP admin site. It didn’t even show up in my notifications. I’m glad I checked, which isn’t too often for me.
Oh yes, I’m from Vancouver, born and raised. However, I have never been with YWAM in Canada. Only in Asia and full time now in Brazil. I only know the people from the Donor services office and I also know Randy Perizeau. I also know Russ Rosen in Langley.
Oh wow, your pastor is a YWAMer? That’s so great. Which church do you attend? I must visit when we are there in November/December. Then we can meet too. That would be so cool to actually meet a fellow blogger and a Vancouver YWAMer.
I will be over to your blog later today. At the moment I am in class with my son. I’m homeschooling him because the school system here isn’t very good with high functioning autistic kids.
Until later. Many blessings.
Staci
π
Thanks for the note on my blog. I didn’t see this otherwise as well. Btw Russ Rosen was just at our church (http://www.calvarybaptistedmonton.com) to put on a Christmas presentation! In the mean time, enjoy this window of teaching/learning with your son.
Oh wow, really? So then you know who Russ Rosen is then. That’s great. So then, you’re from Edmonton?
Stacilys!
Thank you for visiting my Blog.
I was stunned to go through your blog in a hurry.
Sorry something else is drawing my attention and I have to divert, shall come again to savour.
Its my Promise.
I follow YOU.
Regards!
Shiva
Ohhhhh, Hi Shiva. You’re more than welcome. Thank you so much for checking out my blog too. I hope you like what you see here. I know how busy life can get, so I totally understand. Thank you also for the follow. I’ll be following you too.
π
Lovely blog and beautiful art and photos, so creative! I look forward to see more! Cheers, Johanna
Thank you so much Johanna. I’m so pleased that you like my art. I really enjoy yours too. Your illustrations are adorable. I also look forward to seeing more.

Hey Staci… You and I have a mutual friend who has dropped off the planet. Rob..Vpub? I can’t even get an email to go through. It bounced back to me as undeliverable. Do you know anything about him, or if he is ok? It always bothers me when something like this happens. I hope he is ok…
Hi Courtney… Really? I have no idea. That’s very strange, because that’s not like him. I will see if I can get through and get back to you, ok.
I also hope he is ok.
Thank you! That would be great… Kind of convened
That should have said concerned…. I also discovered he is gone from Twitter too. π¦

Your nomination is at https://wordpress.com/post/levishedated.wordpress.com/4322 and I hope you’ll have some fun doing this. Have a great day. Kind regards – Robert. π
There – that’s the official announcement done. π Hope you’re having a beautiful evening and that the rain isn’t bothering you too much.

π
What rain? None today. π
Hi, you have a really great site here, I just started looking around and I’ve followed you so I can keep up with your work :). Keep it up at My Trending Stories too. I’ll have to follow you there too :D.
Thank you so much Happy Meerkat. I will be following you too. I will be taking a couple of months off of WordPress though, so I’ll see you when I get back.

π
Yep, I’m going to get more active there myself :). I’ll keep my eye out for your articles π
Thank you so much HM.
I hope you are well.
π
I am, just stightly overworked with all the new platforms. I am used to blogging and reading other peoples blogs but I recently tried facebook (still new to it) and then with my trending it’s so much all at once. I’m not complaining lol but gotta find a way to fit it all in. Have a nice break π
I know exactly what you mean. Time is short nd there’s so much to do. Ugh.
Have a great weekend.
π
It’s so lovely to know more about you, Staci! And you’ve been all over (almost). I have not been out of my country even. π

π β€
Awww! Thank you, Staci! Would love to read yours too! π And yes.. I just came back actually! π Been absent here for quite a while. π
You’re more than welcome Rosema. I hope to post some time this weekend. Or maybe it’ll have to be Monday. I’ve been quite busy. Ugh. Wish there was more time in a day.
Have a lovely weekend.
π β€
Alright, Staci! Keep things easy. π Have a lovely week!
You too Rosema. π β€
