Is Christmas Over?
No! Who is having a birthday?! Who is having a child?! Who is in a gentle convalescence; and needs a dear warm gentle book as company. And gentle thoughts and words flowing through their head? A book is the best company in the world!
Who needs a gentle warm greeting for the New Year? And a reminder that humanity and democracy are not dead.-Not if we have our gentle warm intelligent say about that. I have sent my boy a book. I have asked my boy to read my book to his cats!
Oh; come on; why not?! They look very thoughtful; very smart! I'll bet they would love the sound of a gently-reading human voice. The new year is a time for new things; better things; crazy things; fun things. So here; a gentle wish; for the continuing Joy of the Season to you. And a gentle pause; a gentle silence; for the sorrows too.
And please enjoy my crazy new blog design! (Unless you are a Mean Ugly Person Who Has Harassed Me; and then; go away.) Grownup bullies is simply not my thing. No kind of bullies is; ever was. I live a pure; honorable life. My new year is for peace; for love; for gentle people; and for me. I have played with this site a bit!
As the background; and the colors of this site; to my eyes; grew too bright. But the content remains the same. It is very hard! To find a suitable background for a blog; for all the beautiful things you have to share.-That will be just the right size. And that will allow all of your fun sweet small gadgets and sidebars to show. And to create a background that shows what you are doing; and who you are.
Well; i am so glad you asked! I am an artist; first and foremost!-Not a sleek professional girl. I am an artist of every shape and form.-Or sometimes then; a folk artist. That small red mat to the sides; was from an old woolen blanket; that was ever too itchy to use! So i cut it up and made every kind of fun thing from it! (I do that with stories from my life too.) You stitch things together; until you have said; all the sweet smart beautiful tender difficult things you want to say! The dear one in the foto frame to the side is my own dear boy; now grown to near twice the size! But surely still as cute.-I am a mama! I am a homemade writer; i am; quite proudly; in this modern disconnected era; a homemade girl. Everything i do on this site is me; and there is no other. I think you will love my books! Am i leading the witness?-Good then!
And don't let your friends begin a new year; without something sweet; lovely; new. And don't you either! Marguerite; 26 December 2025. Thinking 2026 could be good; or; better?! Ja. Let's make it so.๐๐
And a Note to People Who Have Been Harassed by Bullies. If the harassment has been forever; keep the warning signs up forever! Make this your own year. And reclaim the peace; and the years they stole from you before. And may the gentle people reign; forever and e-e-ver. Halleluiah!๐๐

A Preview
of Coming Attractions!
The Labyrinth; a beautiful conclusion to Marguerite's tender book; The Leaving; is up! And her book-in-progress; Postludium; will be an illuminating thoughtful conclusion; to her troubling; deeply insightful book on bullying; called The Honor Code. She also has a longing to turn back; to one of the first beautiful books she ever wrote! Which was a biography of her father; and his difficult struggling life; that begins in early Amsterdam prewar.
She plans to serialize that book;
in several small approachable
delicious pieces.
It is a dear tender story. And in a time right now; when America does not seem to welcome; or to celebrate; language, culture, diversity; Marguerite has a longing to celebrate her own beautiful history and heritage again.-She can't wait to begin! Because Marguerite welcomes diversity! She thinks that is what makes a country cooler than cool! And she will always be proud to be a part of that.
And she considers
everyone a brother.

Please note that Marguerite is NOT on Amazon; and she hasn't been for many years. So please do not bother to click those internet links.-Thank you.
But after years of trying to get rid of those search results; she cannot. An inquiry to Google explains; that since Amazon is a powerful trading partner with them; they will always prioritize those links; whether they are current or not. Meaning; it seems clear to her; that Amazon is legitimized to steal your business that way. And she is not done with that investigation yet.
But authors beware; in who you tangle with! It is her name; she thinks. It is her business; she thinks. Not theirs.-Has she got that right?! Yes; she does.
