Bella Shepard


Notice of absence from Bella Shepard
After dealing with some health issues for the last few months, I have decided to take a leave of absence until the dust settles and the clouds go away. I feel badly that I have been absent so much, for I miss my friends. I hope to be back before too long. I also hope that all of you will all be safe and well.

Learn from your past

Embrace your present

And do not fear the future

But be the architect of it

              Gratias ago tibi, mi amice. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Even a year of high school latin couldn't help me here, I had to google it. Thank you my friend, I love your comment!!

                  I have and I do, but confess to be a little slack at times, so a gentle lashing from a friend is more than just worthwhile.
                  Thanks, Bella.

                  • Bella Shepard

                    Confession is good for the soul, or so I was told. But we don't have to confess everything do we? Consider yourself lashed gently with these words "You are a true friend who is cherished". Take care!

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    I try, Bella - Thanks once more.
