The Joy of Indie...

Is that you can hone your own beautiful voice; and your own beautiful vision; with your own beautiful skill; and with your own beautiful conviction... And let it fly; and let it soar! Though hers will gently whisper; not roar.🎋marguerite

FINE FUN BOOKS!!
With always more to come.
Stay tuned!🎋marguerite bloem

Book One. Happy Trails! 
Paperback; 6 x 9; 67 pages.
Here is a sweet small gift book perhaps! 


THIS DEAR SLIM volume; is a celebration of the beautiful interesting people you can meet; walking along the streets of our neighborhoods. And they do not all look like you! Nor do they have to. I have been walking city streets all of my life; and i just love to see the world!🎋marguerite


Book Two.
The Jazz Meister. 
Paperback; 6 x 9; 71 pages.
Another sweet small gift book perhaps! 


HERE IS a celebration of an old revered jazz master; who taught my dear boy jazz. Oh, mama; the saxophone! Which the papa also played; and guitar. While loved to sing; with my piano and accordion. And also played the cello; and the alto and soprano recorder. We love music in our home! And that boy got so very good on that sax!-Crazy good! Scary good! But make note that his mama taught him how to read music; and how to count. Because no one else was teaching those kids that!🎋Ah; cat granny bloem.


Book Three.
The Honor Code. 
Paperback; 6 x 9; 85 pages.


OKAY; so maybe not a gift book; this one. I mean; it would not be a light book. But still; yeah; i see what you mean; but still. This book is a deadly serious study of societies; women's worlds; and bullying. Though sadly sometimes; it seems; or always; it seems; a troubled beat goes on.

THIS IS a sad but necessary story. About the bullies who can ruin our lives. Though a brave mother tries to rise above all that! As you must too; as you must too. As there are; ever and always; such better things to do! Sing a song; read a book; take a walk; go to the zoo. Oh; yeah; i see what you mean.-Write a book!🎋marguerite bloem
 
 
Book Four. 
Fledgling Season. 
Paperback; 5.5 x 8.5; 43 pages
And another dear small gift book perhaps! Because who doesn't love baby birds? 


HERE IS s a celebration of a fleeting friend; who sat on our porch rail one day.-One sweet fledgling baby crow! As two mamas; one human; and one crow; faithfully lingered to watch over him. Well okay; my boy and my husband were there too! 🎋Yours truly; the surrogate crow mama; marguerite. 


Book Five.
Song, Song Blue. 
Paperback; 4.25 x 6.875; 29 pages
And another dear small gift book! Of the sad sad political song we are singing today. From one democratic mama who will remain unapologetically true blue. And she will continue to sing her beautiful song too! 


HERE IS an author's gentle quiet reverie; and reflection on democracy. And; a beautiful poignant foto too. (As is true with a lot of my books!) Give this sweet small book to a friend! Who feels the same way as you. Singing is always better then. With five; ten; one hundred; one thousand!

Or even; with just two. Do-re-mi; what range are you; what key are you?! I am top to bottom; in the key of true blue.🎋Le prima donna; marguerite. 


Book Six.
The Way of the Goat. 
Paperback; 6x9; 37 pages.
And another dear small gift book perhaps! And it seems; in this day; quite inevitably; another gentle resistance; against the troubling rule of the day. 


HERE; our dogged friend; Miss Margaux;  must resist a common insult flung about; by the ruling politicos of her time; regarding the state of being woke.-But no! Miss Margaux must assert her
true identity here. They just got a coupla letters wrong! Miss Margaux is the GOAT!-Not woke. 
But maybe they will get it by the by.

Postscript. I was feeling bad about things; political things. They had just detained  Kilmar Abrego Garcia again; just for spectacle; just for sport; and my heart hurt so badly then. The relentless meanness so deeply troubles me; unsettles me. And causes a genuine fear in me. So i read my own book again. I felt better then.🎋marguerite 


AND BY THE WAY; POSTSCRIPT...
Because it is important; and because it is a story about the streets; as is my dear small book; Happy Trails.

AT OUR warm spirited rally for Democracy; on this glorious Labor Day. We chanted; we yelled; we whooped; we hollered; we danced; we marched.

It was an excellent satisfying day! The commitment was high;  the posters were out-of-this-world intelligent; shocking; provocative; beautiful. It was like an art gallery! And the spirits (of the people) haven't died. But good to check in again and again! 

And so; see you next time! 

There will be more to say.-And thank you! For all who came to make this beautiful scene. And for all who bravely organized it. And for the encouragers on the bullhorns; who give us the most delightful satisfying things to say.-I canna say. I am modest; i canna say. And i hope you made some Good Trouble of your own. 

And also thank you! To the illustrious guest who came to speak to us today. I am a great fan! And i am always heartened by; and abundantly cheer any news of you.-You honored us. By coming to speak at our rally today. Onward then. To ever more!🎋


AND OF COURSE it is the thing we must do. 
And it is the thing i love to do. 

Democracy saved my family from World War Two. My parents; who lived in North Holland; were under Nazi occupation for the entire length of the war. 

And near the end of that war; there was the worst famine in history; which has; of course; troubled me regarding Gaza too. The Dutch people still suffer; both mentally and physically; from the devastating impact of that war. Because humanity is not meant to see or experience war. I worried for that; i posted for that; i wrote about that; from the start of the Palestine war. 

And yet; here we are. 

It pains me deeply. It has pained a lot of people deeply. But the least i can do; that we can do; is always speak out. To carry the gift of freedom forward; to carry the gift of freedom through! Yours for democracy then! Ever and always true blue.🎋marguerite; August 2025. 


TO FIND OUT MORE! About important demonstrations against the overreach of the Trump administration; look for the 50501 movement online; and find the branch for your state; sign up; and stay apprised of important local protests in your own neighborhood that are aligned with nationwide protest! 

It feels good; it feels empowering; it feels important... Well i mean; it is important. To make your views known; with a generous body of like-minded citizens who have the people at heart. I am not an organizer with this organization; but i am always aware of; and active in; and grateful for their events. See you at the next one then! Nationwide; October 18th!🎋
