Hello and welcome to my blog.

Posted on April 5, 2014 by Patricia Ann

I am Patricia Ann Boyes and have just become a first time published author at the age of seventy-seven. I am so excited! The title of my book is My Precious Life, and is now available for sale in Hardcover, Paperback, Kobo, Kindle and various e-books. The book is available on many online book stores such as Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Amazon.uk, Westbow Press, to name a few.

In April of this year I posted an excerpt from each of the forty chapters, and they can still be read by scrolling down to the beginning of this blog. “My Precious Life” is meant to be an inspiration to those who are struggling with life’s lessons, and wondering what they are all about. The feedback the book is receiving is touching on just that. “Wonderful…I couldn’t put it down…inspiring…” These are some of the comments coming back to me, and I’m so thankful for the interest it is generating.

After I posted the first forty excerpts, I continued to blog a post a day, and am still blogging! I love it, and have met some wonderful people in the blogging community. Here again, comments are positive and uplifting.

Here is a link to my church web site. My church is a focal point in my life and is featured in my book which is why I’m including its link.

Thank you for visiting “My Precious Life”. I look forward to hearing your comments on “My Precious Life” the Blog and the Book:

Some Things Just Need Repeating

Posted on September 12, 2023 by Patricia Ann

A Little Jolt of Happiness

CHOOSE LOVE

Posted on January 9, 2023 by Patricia Ann

How many of us watched as twenty-four-year-old Buffalo Bills player, safety, Damar Hamlin, suffer a cardiac arrest during a football game with the Cincinnati Bengals on January 2nd.

I didn’t. I don’t follow football, but did see many replays on the news channels, and what I saw was heart rending as well as heart warming.

Big burly men were seen praying heartfelt prayers with visible tears on their faces. The love poured out on the Cincinnati football field for that young man was palpable.

It inspired me to watch the team play the New England Patriots on January 8th…and the love was still palpable. From what I could see, every player displayed Damar’s helmet slogan CHOOSE LOVE on their own helmets. Damar’s number 3 was also displayed on jerseys, caps, and in the stands as well.

The updates on Damar are all positive and his prognosis looks like all those prayers were answered.

My prayer is that all the criminals and warmongers out there watched as well and are inspired to stop killing and help make the world a better place by adopting Damar Hamlin’s slogan, CHOOSE LOVE.

IT WAS WHAT IT WAS

Posted on December 31, 2022 by Patricia Ann

It is what it is was one of the catch phrases of 2022. What more could be said? The year was so bazaar in so many ways that “It is what it is” seemed to cover everything unexplainable and unacceptable.

And now as we enter into a new year may we look forward to all that is acceptable and pleasing, and never have to use that phrase again.

Instead we shall go forth in anticipation of all good things to come as we shout the old year out with…It was what it was!

Happy New Year!

Possibilities

Posted on September 25, 2022 by Patricia Ann

Possibilities abound in life; it is up to each individual to discover this in their own way. I just read about Nick Vujicic who was born without arms or legs and is a living dynamo of possibilities. Nick keeps a pair of shoes in his closet in the event that God will give him feet. That’s what keeps Nick so positive and upbeat most of the time…the hope that all things are possible. Happy Sunday.

What in the World?

Posted on September 24, 2022 by Patricia Ann

Many of us are wondering what in the world is happening to our world. Let us wonder no longer and take a verse from Dionne Warwick’s song of 1966. Happy Saturday.

Laugh It Up

Posted on September 1, 2022 by Patricia Ann

Last week in our Spiritual Workshop we were led to laughing about something. One lady who suffers severely from rheumatoid arthritis laughed so much she commented, “I’m not even hurting!” Laughing is indeed good for health, heart and soul. Here is something to help you laugh it up. Happy September first!

I Believe

Posted on August 28, 2022 by Patricia Ann

There are those who find it very difficult to believe that there is a God. I find it impossible not to believe. And there was the man in scripture who begged Jesus to “Help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24) Happy Sunday.

A Simple Admonition

Posted on August 14, 2022 by Patricia Ann

“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

This is from 2 Chronicles 7:14 where God is talking to Solomon about Israel, and today applies to the world in general. Our lands do need humbling and healing, seeking and praying, and most of all taking heed of a simple admonition. Happy Sunday.

Gotta Love Saturdays

Posted on August 13, 2022 by Patricia Ann

This song from the 70’s by the Sandpipers says it all. “Come Saturday Morning” was posted in 2021 but it seems so fitting for this beautiful Saturday, whether morning or afternoon. Happy Saturday.
