Dot,
Bless you!
Thank you for bitting fear and taking the plunge to allow us, the readers, the pleasure of reading your written words.
Written words that paint a different picture for each of us. Ones that are appreciated, valued and enjoyed.
Don’t stop! Oh, and have fun along the way.

Welcome to my online home. Life is short and I think it's important to enjoy each day that we have. Here, I try to share little bits of things that I enjoy, things that make me happy and make me smile. I don't update this blog as often as I should.. but sometimes there are little bits of joy that I like to talk about. I have a follow widget on here.. follow along if you like. 
Congrats Dot! I am so looking forward to the release of your book. Good things DO happen to good people. Wishing you much success and Miles of Smiles

Hi, Dorothy:
I have the feeling that we are in for a long trek with you; a woman whose drive and energy for riding a two-wheeler or hitting the keys of her computer are evenly distributed!
I hope Wind in My Face will travel to as many homes as you plan to ride in Kilometers. What did you say your plan is? One Million km in your lifetime?
I smell a bestseller already.
If a flat tire stops you, fix it and keep on riding. We all get writer’s block here and there.
Happy ‘wriding’!

Nice prelude, look forward to seeing final product

Dot – Congratulations!!! I too appreciate your wonderful spirit and encouragement to so many. Be proud of yourself hun – I sure am!
Now I just may have to make a trip down east to get an autographed copy for myself too

Love your website Mom.
I’m very pleased that now that you are not looking after us little hellraisers you have time to follow your dreams.
Your writing skills were probably the only reason that i got an A in English Class.
I’m so very proud.
Keep Up the great work.
and even though i know you want to go East, Don’t forget about the Wild West.
Hi Dorothy
I am the Area Rep for Ontario South Retreads and was quite interested in the email that you sent out to the chapters. I ordered your book the same day and now can’t wait to get it and start reading. Sounds like a winner to me. I’ll be writting back after I read it and I’m sure I won’t be disappointed. We will put a notice in our newsletter for all to see.
Hope to see you along the road.

Hi Dorothy,
thanks for your encouragement on fm writers.
I need all the help I can get to write this book and your kind works keep me from thinking it’s too much for me.
Hope all is well with you

Dorothy, I either laugh or weep when I read your material (sometimes both). Keep up the ramblings. I love them and you. Hugz
Hi Dorothy. Didn’t realise you were Bikerhen. I had a misspent youth as a back seat biker passenger so I understand the appeal.
