I’m so grateful that my beautiful daughter took the time out of her very busy schedule (Vice President, mother of three and philanthropist) to record a few videos in support of my upcoming book, “One Petal At A Time,” which is only two days from preorder! Please watch the video and be sure to like and share!
Wonderful, Joni! ❤
Thank you so much Tim, she is a sweetheart. I am so proud of her, I wish she wasn’t so far away. Big hugs and love you my friend. ❤️
She sure is a sweetheart, Joni. ❤ I can see why you are proud of her.
She is indeed. I don’t know how she finds time to do all the things she does but she is always on the go. I was so grateful when she wanted to be involved and thank you for your kind comment Tim, she is a sweetheart. Sending you great big hugs and love, Joni
This is so beautiful. She is your twin and sounds like you, too. Such a sweet woman.
Thank you Lisa, I am extremely flattered by that comment. She is an amazingly kind and gracious woman. Thank you so much. ❤️
Wonderful Joni!
Ohhh how beautiful…How wonderful that she has been so supportive and loving and proud of your writing this beautiful book. I loved seeing this Joni ❤️
Thank you so much. Yes, she is very proud and excited. She wanted to help and she is a natural in front of the camera. Thank you so much for watching and your kind comment. Blessings to you.
This was such a lovely gift form your daughter. And she does sound very much like you. I love seeing this connect between the two of you. 🤗
Thank you Nigel my dear friend. Yes, there is nothing like a child. This is such a special gift as she has so much she is responsible for with the company, and all the family stuff with sports and the kids keep her very busy. I appreciate you kind words, it is hard because I really miss her and I love her so much. She too, is a prayer warrior and the boys are too. The grandkids are all special in their own way, but the youngest wears a suit everyday to school. I think that is just the sweetest thing. They are all little musicians too. Thank you NIgel. I am glad you have your family and I know why your sisters want every minute of your time when they are around. Who can blame them. Big hugs and love my friend. 🌹
Lol… Grand kiddos??? There a little detail we never discussed. You must spoil them kids rotten lol. You and a Scott are so blessed Joni.
I love my sisters.. all my siblings. My sisters have too much energy for me though. It’s always shopping. 😜😂
You are hilarious my dear friend, Nigel. We have three beautiful grandchildren adopted from Haiti. They could not be more loved, they are very spoiled by their parents. They are very prayerful, happy, musically talented, a wrestler, three footballers, baseballers, singers, a drummer, and never a dull moment for these blessed little guys. If your sister’s wear you out you wouldn’t last with these guys for fifteen minutes. They are all three a hoot! We love them very much.
That’s awesome Joni. I love children. Won’t have any of my own at this rate, but I have over 35 nieces and nephews to corrupt 😜😆 and the great nieces and nephews are my new partners in crime. 🤗
How wonderful, big families are a blessing from God is a Child is of course as well. I bet they are all over you when you are around and that you spoil and they play the whole time with you. Children are so special because when they are young especially they haven’t been corrupted by society if they are in a decent home. They say whatever the first thing is that comes to mind and often their statements are precious too or really funny. We are going to try real hard not to have another 4:30 am night but it is looking like we will and that is ok, Scott is helping me too and we are both working hard on all sorts of stuff. My poems are past due for the following month so that is going out tonight and we need to read the sites too. Big hugs and lots of love from the both of us, our cherished friend.
Bless you Joni. 💜💜🥰 I’m hoping to finally get some writing done by this week. I’ve been swamped at work.
Thank you dear Nigel. We really enjoyed your episode of Eliza. What a fun read this morning with coffee. I haven’t read your book review but something that caught your attention that much must have been amazing. I hope to have time to do some more reading today. I am sorry work has been so nuts. Make sure you get some rest too. I know you are quite a bit younger than me but you still need your sleep. I feel like such a blessed person right now, I feel so loved. It feels wonderful, and I hope that you know there are a lot of people that love you too. Hugs from both of us, blessings and prayers always to you and your family.
Thank you Joni..I got several naps during the day..between my writing. I fed a little rejuvenated. 🙏
Some times it is healthy to take a break Nigel. I don’t have to tell a fitness specialist like you how sleep deprivation can be bad for you my friend. Get some rest. Big hugs my friend. ❤️🙏❤️
I try.. but I have difficulty sleeping for very long. Unless by diet and exercise is on point, I don’t sleep very well. And lately, I have been Helter skelter when it comes to life. Very disorganized. ☠️☠️
We have not been getting enough sleep lately either. I get jittery when I don’t sleep. Sounds like your routine is off my friend. Once that happens it is hard to get back on it. Exercise really does help with the sleep. I haven’t been getting my bike riding in and I definitely sleep better with exercise. Well maybe work will let up soon and you can go have a leg day at the gym and that will probably help you sleep. Sending you are love my friend!
Cheers Joni. 💜🤗

Wait daughter or twin??? Two beautiful ladies!
Aww, that is so sweet my friend, thank you for watching her video, she wanted to help, and it touched my heart so much. I know you understand this having a scholar and footballer in college. We can’t help but be grateful to God for our children and proud of them. Thank you dear Belladonna. Also, you would be glad to know that she has a Peloton Bike in the bedroom and she works hard on that to stay in great shape, being an advocate and a fitness coach. It is hard to find time when you have young ones that are all over the place doing multiple sports at the same time. But children are a joy and their dad does a lot of coaching which is nice too. “Children are a heritage from the Lord.”
Amen!!!!! She is beautiful but look at her mother, she had no choice but to be that. Children are such a blessing and I know you are proud of her and mother and wife he is.
I love my Peloton bike o much and I know he does to. You get hooked!
Thank you so much for your wonderfully kind and gracious comments my dear friend. I didn’t know you had a Peloton bike to and it seems like they are all the rage. I can’t do a regular bike because of my neck, I use a recumbent bike. Yes, I think he gets on in the morning and she gets on after dinner has settled. She likes to go to a gym but it is so hard to find the time to. Love you sweetie
I’m so sorry about your neck!!!
They are a healthy couple, love that. Love you
Great big hugs and love dear Belladonna. Yes, it is always frustrating to have a severe injury that leads to chronic pain especially in the neck. However, I am truly blessed because the injury was so significant with the water skiing accident that the neurologist said I was very lucky. lucky that I did not end up as a quadriplegic. So I think of that when I’m hurting which is most days anymore. That has always been one of my biggest fears, probably from spending time with people who have been horribly injured by the war in hospitals. Sending you big hugs and lots of love. You adorable thing you. ❤️🙏❤️
I’m so happy that you are able to move about! Praying for you my beautiful friend.
Oh I still ride my recumbent bike and before things got so busy we were starting insanity again but I have to modify my program, but lately I have not had the time, I am just trying to keep up but things will settle down soon I hope. Love you sweetie and I will take all the prayers anyone is willing to send my way – God always knows who is on our hearts so I believe we can just say, “God you know all those people out there in the blogging world that I follow even if I haven’t had the time to do so in a while doesn’t mean I stopped loving or caring about them, please take care of them and especially all those with serious health issues, and there are a lot of people that I follow that are sick and I love them – that takes care of all the beautiful people in our community.” Amen
Aww…what a heart-meltingly beautiful tribute from your amazing daughter! You’ve obviously done a wonderful job as a mom, Joni, to raise such loving, successful and compassionate daughter. It’s so apparent she’s extremely proud of you. She’s got your smile, too! Your family is blessed, there’s no doubt about it. 😊🙏
Oh thank you Mike. I appreciate you watching. Yes, I am very proud of her and she did melt my heart when she wanted to be involved as she is so busy all the time. I don’t know how she does it. Thank you for saying she has my smile, I think she does too. We are blessed and she is too with her own beautiful family. Thank you Mike. I thank you for your support my friend and am sending you out great big hugs and lots of love my dear friend. ❤️🌹🙏
Ditto what Belladonna said! Thought I was seeing double! 💕 Was an absolute pleasure to watch this; an emotional one too. Best wishes!
Aww, thank you so very much my beautiful friend. You know you have a face that glows, Barbara has a face that glows too. Thank you for your very gracious comment, it means a lot to me and to my heart. Thank you so much you kindness means a lot. Big hugs and blessings always dear friend.
You are angel walking among us. 😇💖 Thank you so much, Joni. I look forward to reading your collection.
You are a very special human Michele. I think you have a kindness that radiates out from you. There’s a few people online women friends that I have that I was really drawn to because I could see that in their faces which always interest me. It’s a sort of luminescence, many blessings and prayers coming your way always, dear friend. Lots of love.❤️🙏❤️
Feels good to be seen, understood, and supported by you. 🙏🏻💖
Ditto on that my friend. Love you, and sending blessings to you, Joni
Touching hommage. You made, in your daughter, a beautiful flower.
Please take care of you mlle Joni 💌
Oh thank you my dear friend. What an incredibly beautiful thing to say my friend. She is like a flower to me. When I see her I just want to hold her face in my hands and hold her. I can get away with that for a minute or two but that is all, but it sure feels good I miss her so much. Thank you my dearest Myriam, sending my love to you.❤️
Hugs and a lot of angel thoughts to you ❤️❤️
Sending you a great big, warm hug and kisses for both cheeks and always sending up prayers for all the people I know and love, which is a lot of folks. However I know God hears my prayers for happiness for all those I love online, and you’re certainly one of those folks, my friend. Love you, Joni. ❤️🙏❤️
I agree with everyone, Carolyn looks like her beautiful Mom! I am happy for you Joni that Carolyn spoke on your behalf for your book! I know that meant so much to your heart. My heart is happy for you too! Loves always
Thank you dearest Soul Sister, I am always flattered when people say I look like my daughter. Yes, I was too, she read a beautiful poem too and we will post that in a day or two. Thank you Janette. You say the sweetest things, we know each other so well my dearest buddy and soul sister. We have no secrets and watch the fairies as they love to gossip. Although it is funny stuff, like “did you know my friend’s buddy that came over while I was visiting must have been eating beans all day because I was sitting on a living room pillow on the couch and I kept flying in the air. I would have been enjoying it if it were not for the foul smell.” Sleep well my friend. 🌹
She looks so much like you!
Oh thank you Dawn, I am always so flattered when someone says that about us when we both walked in to a place. Thank you for your kind comment Dawn. Love Joni!
Hi Joni! I’m catching up today, I love this video of your daughter, so beautiful like her mom! Congratulations on the book, I hope this leads to many more! ❤
Thank you so much. I was very grateful for my daughter’s kindness as she is so busy, I honestly don’t know how she does it. She will be doing a reading in a couple of days as well. Thank you for listening and I appreciate your kind words Tiffany. It is a blessing to hear from you Tiffany and we all don’t have to work full time, or even part time. Your work is really beautiful, I loved the one that looks like a dragon being birthed. The color was sublime. Love you sweetie!
Your daughter is wonderful Jonie! So happy she helped with the book launch and promoting it! 🙂
Oh thank you Carol Anne for your very kind words as they mean a lot. The book should be out on Amazon no later than Tuesday with a much more reasonable price. The book that is currently there for sale is not Amazon. It is a third-party vendor. We are in the process of correcting it. Twenty-one dollars and 40 cents is way too much for a book in my opinion. You are very kind and these comments mean a lot to my daughter truly they do. You have got me determined to start walking more, a positive influence for me, thank you Carol Anne. Sending big hugs and lots of love your way.
Absolutely beautiful Joni, congratulations on “One Petal at A Time” Joni. <3 <3 <3
Thank you so much for your kind words Trâm I am very grateful for my publisher Lisa Tomey from Prolific Pulse and all the wonderful friends who have been so supportive. I am sure you are a beloved person amongst the people who you continue to give their beautiful words an audience. Your continuous effort on their behalf and ours is amazing. I know that they mean the world to you and you to them. Many blessings and love to you.🌹
