Come on in. The forest is lovely.

I like to think of my stories as strolls through magical forests. (All right, sometimes they're more like a sprint.) Either way, I hope you find some magic here.

#flashfictionmagic – ELEMENTS

May 10, 2022 by Sheri

#flashfictionmagic- ELEMENTS Arius hunched over thetiny covered lantern. The wind of Bellower’s Gap made his eyes water, tasting the exposed crevice at the back of his neck. “All right, Drio?” he shouted without turning.

I stood at the east facing window of the house library, my fingers fanned against the windowsill as if in thought. He couldn’t see my white knuckles. “Come back […]

#flashfictionmagic Spiced Tea & Curiosity Sheri Yutzy

#flashfictionmagic – SPICED TEA & CURIOSITY Ingrid clutched the mug tighter, willing its heat to soak through her red plaid mittens. The three mountains that rimmed her world wore downy muffs of snow, their distant jagged peaks now rounded. “Ingrid?” Her granfer’s voice swirled through the snowflakes. He shuffled across the yard to stand by her […]

#flashfictionmagic – DEEPEST DARK When people ask me how I lost my sight, I tell a different story each time. I touched the Archangel’s Scepter without first swallowing holy water. I stepped into a cloud of golden troll dust and neglected to close my eyes. Or my personal favorite: the Duc sneezed on me. The […]

My lovely moon garden seeds are finally blooming…except now I can’t remember what most of them are called.😏 Does anyone know what this one is? I probably have the packet stuffed away somewhere.
I found this one blooming at dusk the other day, and my heart was so happy.

A rainy day means pancakes and a pot of Barry’s tea! I got to use up some yogurt that didn’t set. (I tried a new recipe and must have done something wrong.🤷‍♀️)

Hello friends, new and old! I’m back after a tw Hello friends, new and old! 
I’m back after a two week break from posting. Here are some things I’ve learned:
🪴Pausing to breathe deepens my creativity.

🪴Being still and living a moment is a form of creation. It’s creating quiet in my heart. 

🪴Mindfulness makes each moment as important as the last. Time spent serving others is still “my time.”
