Week 122!
I am going to begin with an apology. I have just plum run out of time. I am leaving tomorrow morning at 9:00 am (I know, the crack of dawn for someone like me) for a weekend retreat. This year, I am the sole presenter for the actual content. Usually, we split that between two people. My co-presenter had the opportunity to visit Europe with her sister…who would turn that down! So, I’m going to skip the Featured Favorites this week. I still have two other blog posts to finish before tonight is over! Anyway, welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! Look for the link up to go live Thursdays at 9:30pm EDT. Sue’s post goes live in Australia on Friday at 12:30 pm. Sue won’t be posting for a few weeks as she’s on holiday in the UK and then Norway! Have a wonderful time, Sue!
As part of our new year reboot, we are now shining the spotlight on a different blogger each week. We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello! This week, we spotlight Deb from Deb’s World!

Deb says, “Good question! I’m a bit quirky, full of energy, enthusiastic, into social media, sharing things and looking for the positives. I am Debbie – a wife; mother; grandmother; daughter; sister; friend; blogger; reader; runner; walker; cyclist; Rail Trail enthusiast; traveller; Rotarian; Whovian; former teacher. My aim is to make you smile, educate you in some way, maybe inspire you and to share my world, while learning about your world.” Actually, there is so much more to Deb than I included. I would encourage you to read this, and then explore Deb’s blog! Please let her know we sent you!
Wouldn’t you like to know more about your hostesses? We’ve got you covered there! Please feel free to drop by the others to see what their blogs are all about! We are a very diverse group of bloggers. Links to each blog appear below.

Marsha from Marsha in the Middle started blogging in 2021 as an exercise in increasing her neuroplasticity. Oh, who are we kidding? Marsha started blogging because she loves clothes, and she loves to talk or, in this case, write!
Melynda from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household – The name says it all, we homestead in East Texas, with three generations sharing this land. I cook and bake from scratch, between gardening and running after the chickens, and knitting!
Lisa from Boondock Ramblings shares about the fiction she writes and reads, her faith, homeschooling, photography and more.
Sue from Women Living Well After 50 started blogging in 2015 and writes about living an active and healthy lifestyle, fashion, book reviews and her podcast and enjoying life as a woman over 50. She invites you to join her living life in full bloom.
And, now it’s your turn!
Please link up your favorite posts, DIY, baking, gardening, fashion…you name it…as long as it’s family friendly! Don’t forget some of your older posts might be just right for this time of year! Link up with me, visit a couple of others, and leave a comment or two! No worries if you don’t have a blog, just look around! You may find a new blog just waiting for you!

Thank you so much, Joanne! It went so well, but I’m glad it’s over so I can relax before diving into creating (from scratch) my mini retreat for next March.

You are so welcome, Kellyann! The retreat went very well. We ran over on every session because…well…I’m sure you know. Someone just talked too much. I do think, though, everyone left with their spirits uplifted. Mine certainly was.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend! I’m sure all will go well with you leading the way! Thanks, as always, for hosting us all, Marsha, and for being so supportive of us all! We’re sharing #43 today.
You are welcome, Laura! We had a fantastic weekend. I do hope everyone came away refreshed and feeling some true spiritual renewal.
I hope you have a wonderful retreat weekend!
