New Updates

Posted on March 2, 2020 by Niki Flow

New updates on Missing Benjamin page. Today is four years since he disappeared. Until I can get a handle on this despair, I won’t be publishing new Gems. Any good vibes you feel like sending my way would be appreciated.

OCTOBER
15:  New Cards

NOVEMBER
1:  Watercolor Painting

DECEMBER
7:  Live Now
Buttons for Benjamin will continue until Ben comes home, but I won’t be keeping records. This is a promise to do at least one daily act of kindness and, where appropriate, leave a Button (I had dozens made) to get the word out about my missing son. If you would like some buttons, let me know.

“All’s well that ends better.” -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

This is the last in the Tolkien-quotes series. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading these as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them. Once again, special thanks to the Pixabay and Picmonkey photographers.

The journey of Samwise, Frodo, and company continues to Rivendell here:

ÉOWYN, Bag End to Rivendell-Frodo.

I’m taking a break for a bit and will be back with Gems featuring some new photos from Cord X. and a poem from Johnny O. the week of November 18th. We’ll restart the videos and newsletters every week after that too.

Until then, may all your journeys be green and golden.

♥.
