Hi world

I assume the first thing would be where in the World have I been ? See what I did there... Hehe I made a tiny pun. Let me have it.

That at one point was very successful and people around the world read my work, saw my photography. I would also say there has been life changes, heartbreaks and lessons that happens that changes a person in the end. And that person could be in the same office with the same keyboard physically but in the inside of their soul be completely different. That's who I am now. I'm different and yet a little bit of same of the old me. The only way I could describe it. I have been genuinely happy at peace and happy where I'm at right now. It was an easy road, lots ups and downs, lots tear's that the world would never see but the walls would hear. I learned people come and go ,they sometimes stay for while, but each one will carry a piece of you and you will carry a piece of them. You will grief that loss in your own way, you think of them, no one will know that you are besides you. A lot can change in days, months and in a year. I learned into just lean into it is a better way of handling any situation. I can say I'm genuinely happy and at peace with everything is because letting go of everything, if something going to happen, it's going to happen either way. I feel much better, should have just done that long ago in life. No matter what it's called life but also creating history is seconds. Both in the present, past and the future. I had a few friends that know my life say recently ," You are too calm and relaxed. How are you doing this ? " . My response " Its because I choose happiness, now . And let everything go ,really. I can think about the loss of people as in it was chapter. A chapter that I would love to continue but I know it is meant to stay it can but if doesn't. I can see what happened any time I want ; the bad , the good . But don't stay there for too long. Where it went wrong or when it was happy . Its a choice to be happy and be relaxed" .Forgive quickly ,have that cry, have that scream. It's about releasing yourself and choosing to be happy regardless of the crumbling around. So that's where I'm at. Where are you? Think about it for a minute.

Now by that being said , I have tried returning many of times , it just seemed there was always something that would fall into my hands to take care of first . Time and time again eventually I just gave in to it. Because that's what life had in store for me at the time. And of course things fell through the cracks, that I didn't even see. Apparently I'm just the soul that loves stepping up to any plate and take care of things until I don't need to. To know everything around my orbit is functioning as it should is when I know I can touch my world again. It's habit of mine, I discovered. Maybe it's a habit I need to break ,here and there. We might have our own worlds has in families, friends, work but indivually we have own world inside us. And that's important to take care of us too. Because we live that every second that we breathe. I hope that make sense; it made sense to me. And per my author name, I'm misread for a reason if it doesn't make sense... That's okay.

I wonder if this world would be ever a place for me to step back into. Or it would even be thing that I always wanted it to be to begin with. Timing is everything, they say. When I close my eyes genuinely just envisioned what it always suppose to be all along, it makes me feel happy from my head to my toes. And it's a good thing it still makes me feel that. Makes me want that to be true reality, more .There was suppose to be print shop and other things, even through I have the other mini one which you could find on Zazzle. I think it could be better and it will be better. Possibly AKW will be in hands of many, who knows! I'm more open to success then I think I even know yet.

So Hi !

And yes, I'm babbling along and I will continue on. I write how I talk , I want to express myself like you are my best friend regardless if there's a screen between us. Just imagine we are out at some busy loud café but it's cozy for lunch and brew.

Can't believe we are in 2024 already and three months in ,I still don't know how time flies so fast sometimes. So much changed in these days already in the new year. I hope these first three months into 2024 has treat you all with kindness, love and wonder. And if not then you are right around the corner of being good for you. I always kick of the new year with new word that I think would set the tone for what's ahead at least for me. It's what I do. I think it's better than a resolution that sometimes we forget to keep. I know we can't always predict what the next second would be ,but we still try as humans. I might only be three months late but it's better to be late sometimes than never showing up at all. Let me be honest I didn't exactly have a word in the beginning of the year, I was busy on healing myself from my own conflicted injury. By walking and eating it mud not my best moment but Hey; life happens. Don't ask ,how ! You don't want to hear how much my ego was bruised. Back to my word of the year, I thought it would be Happiness at first honestly. And I was going to stick with that word because it made sense. Then it came to me just out of nowhere what the word should be , My word is ME. And I think those two letters make a powerful word. Let me tell you why that little word means putting myself first this year is important. Me being Happy is important to my soul . Me having success this year is important to my inspiration . Me being in love is important to my heart. That includes more self love as well. Me being more relaxed is important to my mind. And lastly Me having more fun that I have before is important because I deserve it. Now I don't know where Me is heading into the rest of the year, but I know where ever I land, it will be good, I'm sure and I deserve it. Right where I belong .And of course life with throw it's curves along the way. I'm sure we could all attest to that!

I did a little poll on my Instagram how long my first blog post back should be, you guys said ten minutes along. Here I thought you guys would want a short blog post that would get straight to the point and maybe long story next instead! But I was proven wrong very very quickly in that little poll. So I guess I can share that I'm writing something very powerful. At least to me. I think it was something I was suppose to write and share. It had many lives ,different versions exist but never saw light. It had different titles as well. I also will say that it's about love of course. What else would I write about ,hehe. But a different kind of love this is about. I think it will make people relate to different moments of the story. It may even make one cry and I apologize if it makes you cry in advance. I hope it was a good cry. It's very deep and personal to me. When I say deep ,I mean depth. It's at the space of heart where I don't share that space for anyone besides my soul. It not the type of conversation I would have over coffee. That space is where I wonder when I write but I hold back what's mine in each story. Think of this next piece has Taylor's Swifts All To Well song but the 10 minute version. If you ever listened to song in depth, you'll get my point. All I have ever given are the short versions of that space in everything I written but I think it's time at least in this era of my life it gets shown even if that's just once. It all depends if you all like it or not ! If not , oh ooops we shall cross that bridge when we get there. And if you are thinking, you are all getting a title out of me now. You would be right! The title is "Knowing Me, knowing You. " That's it! You aren't getting anything else out of me. Even that was too much but I think it was well deserved for waiting a long dam time for a good story! Well hopefully it would hit your expectations.

In closing I'm Back and I hope it's for good because this will always fuel my soul. It brings me happiness in my own little corner of the world on a little island even if I'm the only soul on the island. I know readers will return someday hopefully some day soon. They are just hidden away from this world at the moment. And that's definitely okay. I know nature lovers will come by see my photos. Once they leave the many beautiful hiking trails, fields because if you didn't notice we are spring! And the rumors are this year would be biggest super bloom yet ! We shall see how much of the bloom we get to see. Even though, I'm physically sitting in a snow storm with many layers of 32 degree attire and sleepy pups at my feet. And Trust me I'm not moving a muscle while typing away. Being in nature is better than any city unless there's important food craving then I understand the foodie and nature argument. You might hear more about this foodie opinions in future. There has been another thing that I been thinking about dabbling it. But I will leave you with this, be prepared to feel, to be on journey that will definitely be different. Because I feel everything will be different. But also still being misread regardless of anything else. So lets all enjoy the grammar errors and run off sentences all together! Because I can't help that anyway, it's in my nature any way!

See you soon ,I hope!

Bye for now.

With love,

Me

P.s If you think I have an release date in mind for "Knowing me , Knowing you". I don't. But I way sooner than you think!

Book Review :The Last Bookshop in London

Let me begin this book review by saying I know my last book review was last April of the year. But from those months apart, I can say this book I am about to share is beyond worthy for everyone to read. From beginning to end, the novel is pure escapism. No matter what age you are in life or where you are in the world ;each time the book was opened , the world around would disappeared and I was in London during World War Two hearing that world come alive.

I never read any book by Madeline Martin before I am glad I picked up The Last Bookshop in London to start with. Her way of writing historical fiction is nothing I have read before or have anything to compare it to . Her creative way of writing this novel feels as if you are physically in the shoes of the world between the pages. From the moment Grace Bennet and her best friend Viv made it to Farringdon station the novel took off. I wish Viv was my best friend, her vibe seemed just fun to be around.

She saved Mr. Evans when he didn't want her help in the slightest. She saved her mother's bestfriend, Mrs.Weatherford. Grace fell in love with George Anderson the moment he turned her a book lover with The Count of Monte Cristo. And during the darkest days and the distance between them making a relationship work despite the world. And all I am going to say there should be more George Andersons in the world, that's all you are getting romantics. Also we can't forget Colin Mrs.Weatherford son, he was that type of character that has the gentle soul with animals and would bring them home. We can all admit we all had that friend that did that or have done that to. I have know to that and my defense the animals tend to find me not the other way around.

Each time I sat down with the novel, in any chair ,couch or bed I was transported to the world before Grace Bennet. The time of prosperity at her fingertips change as quickly as the Second World War brewing to begin. The beauty of Grace bennet changed ,saved so many lives by just being herself through think and thin. Losing certainly of the world, losing people, experience love another level in her life. Lifting up a city by hearing her own words and protecting what she could of other lives from air raids in the morning or dragging on through the night the next day.

I loved reading how Grace was falling in love the with books she read along the way like Jane Eyre. I can appreciate how she fell in love with each story. And going from not reading a single book in her life to read every book in a bookshop. She built a community of people without setting out to make one happen. Naturally making one in a tube station or from the footsteps of Primrose Hill. I do also think Grace was meant to be a ARP warden, it was perfect for not only her character to do but the Title suited her because she is helpful person. And it only made her stronger inside and out and taught her many lessons for life beyond the war.

I have a few favorite moments from the novel but each one I want to pick gives away to much information about the story. I can say that Mr. Evans carried more Grace then he ever thought and he thought he couldn't be saved by anyone or anything until Grace. And same for Grace Mr. Evans, Primrose Hill was more important to Grace then any recommendation she needed in the first place. Once you get into the novel you will understand Mr. Evans has a tough exterior but inside he is a teddy bear with excellent taste in novels. And the caretaker of the most important novels in world when they were taken by Germans to be destroyed.

Okay I can't help it one of my favorite moments is when people gathered in the Tube station listening to the novel being read to comfort them. Its one of the most beautiful parts of the novel through all the darkness. And to think before television and the radios they did have at the time Books and newspapers were the talk of the town, worldwide. Books were and are fundamental of life at least in my opinion. To add my favorite chapter of the whole novel was twenty-one of the most powerful chapter and I love every word of it.

I didn't want to read this book to fast , it deserved to be a slow burned read. Not actually burning it to clarity. That would be against rule of law in my book. This Book deserves to read many times over, it feels just timeless. Every character in the novel that was either in there briefly or stayed till the end is relatable to the time of 1939 to 2021 and further beyond that timeframe. Once you have a copy in your hands you will understand why it feels timeless and relatable in any age.

I do hope you all have great day and enjoy the fall season fast approaching upon us. I do have a new monthly post coming up after this one goes up in a few days. I do hope you buy this book in a physical copy or in digital format. I secretly hope you buy the physical copy, I can't help it I love books and I never full love books digitally; never felt right.

Anyway.

Best regards ,
