Dear readers and followers

This one is for you.

I´m happy and proud to write for you every Friday and whenever something feels essential. Today, it is important to me that you feel at home here.

As a writing witch, I may roam many different fields, mix the genres, and be another writer from what you are used to.

I have no strict guiding lines. My main concern, however, is to come up with something worth spending time reading.

I only have my own life to write about. It is a beautiful adventure for me, and I hope to write in a manner that gives you the feeling of being here with me.

I have fought hard for what I have today. Finally, my dream life has become a reality. And if my writing makes you feel comfortable and at home here, then my goals are met.

So, dear readers and followers, please feel free to comment, bring suggestions, correct me if necessary, and expect to be listened to.

Thank you for being here, for staying, for your patience whenever I make a mistake with the English language.

I live a simple yet complicated life with my sweet husband, a little wise, old dog, and three philosophical cats. Every morning, my most important task is to thank the Universe for the many possibilities that I have to live a truly extraordinary life.

I became a witch after the devastating loss of my beautiful classic car stolen and burnt to ashes five years ago. I needed something completely different from meaninglessness and trouble. Witchcraft has fascinated me for many years, but I went all-in in 2016, and I found what I sought after.

Happiness, inner peace, good health, and kindness.

It has meant so many positive things that I only can recommend it for others to try. It helps me focus my efforts on what really matters in life. It helps me conquer my mental disorders and physical ailments. And it helps me become the best possible version of myself.

I became a writer after my hospitalization and my bipolar diagnosis. I´m brutally honest about it because there is sadly still much prejudice in the world about mental disorders. Besides, you, my readers and followers, you would notice if I wasn´t.

And my main aim here is to write the truth about life and my experiences with it so far.

I have written for as long as I can remember, but I didn´t dare to show it to other people because I did not believe that I was good enough.

Now, it´s different. Now, I write my heart out daily, and it feels like the right path for me to walk.

In only 15 days from now, I will begin writing my first novel. No more notes, no more reading, and no more doubt.

And when I´m good and ready, I will introduce you to a psychological thriller with a female villainess.

But today, this blog post is focused on the joy I feel when a new reader and follower arrives. So, if I have missed anyone, please feel free to contact me to follow you back.

My personal email address is henriettemaddog@hotmail.com.

And by the way, thank you, dear readers and followers, for being inspiring and creative, too; I like what I see and read from you.

Today´s picture is personal. It is my new birdbath for the garden. A heart made of concrete and pebble stone. May it symbolize the friendship we share here, may it bring joy for the birds, and may it spark creativity everywhere.

Speaking of creativity, my next small project is to decorate six beverage coasters. I begin by making my own stencil for yet another set when this one is all used and tired someday. Then I don´t need to buy expensive DIY gear to create something both practical and beautiful.

I like to recycle. I want to pay Mother Nature my deepfelt respect, for we humans really do need to think more than twice right here, right now. We simply cannot continue our ways.

We need to re-connect with Nature. We are a part of it; we don´t own it.

And we live in very different and much more dangerous times right here and right now.

It is now that it matters what we choose to do. Nature doesn´t wait for us to decide whether children should get the vaccine or not. So I will get my second shot of Pfizer on August 5, and I uphold my strict precautions.

Denmark is under re-opening, but the numbers keep rising now. Well, Oscar doesn´t go to stupidity, recklessness, and downright egocentrism.

This Corona-era is not a blipping, booming, ding-donging game show.

Get real, look, listen, hello, calling Earth ???

Please, dear readers and followers, take good care of yourself. Unfortunately, the European Championship in soccer showed that many people do not care about anything but themselves.

A crying shame that is.

Less is so much more in modern times. So we are in daily physical contact with less than 10 people. And my father and I meet mainly on the cellphone because he will be eighty-four years old on January 20, 2022; if only we protect him as much as possible.

He is vulnerable, however vaccinated, because he is a cancer survivor.

Our former neighbor, Thyra (pronounced Tyra), has promised to bring him by car whenever she visits her daughters and grandchildren. And to take him back, too.

Therefore, any day in September will do miracles for us. I believe in miracles, and I believe in people. Only, life has taught me to speak the truth about what I know.

So, I don´t believe in just everyone. I need to know people before I dare to believe in them.

Trust is something sacred to me. If broken for the sake of selfish wants, well, then I´m afraid that one door will close forever. Another door opens, and every choice has a consequence to accept.

There you go, dear readers and followers. 1.000 words and three sentences in an hour. May your weekend be blessed with love, friendship, happiness, and inner peace. So mote it be.
