About Us
Hello! My name is Roni, the author of this letter series
Petticoats, Pearls & Ponderings.
The journey started in aid of my fellow companions,
particularly those who struggled with isolation during the pandemic. I think connection is essential, for so many reasons. And so began a series of letters…
The focus here, is to explore & communicate the positive transition from a self-employed lover of my career, to an age appropriate, more realistic, refusing-to-be-put-out-to-pasture, embracer of life.
The children are done now, the bones creak a little more than they used to, & it’s time to look to the future.
While I embark on this adventure, unknown though it is, I live in trust. I hope that you’ll find these letters entertaining & very human. Also a bit like water, flexible, adventurous & tenacious.
Each letter is a fresh discovery of what it’s like to make these transitions whilst exploring timely issues with mostly joyous, hands-on solutions.
You’ll get glimpses of my large & quirky family shinanigans, including many sister-shared & much loved travel tales.
Ultimately, my writing is all about connection, & you. It’s a simple way to hopefully bring warmth into your home, remind you that you are cared for, & put a smile on your face.
Thank you for jumping on board….
The Mission with
Petticoats, Pearls & Ponderings.
My mission with each letter is to build connection & validation for all who seek a friendly voice. To remind you that someone out there cares & sends you a hug from the pages. To bring joy in anticipating an original, personal letter in your letterbox every month. To foster communication, thought & sharing with every word in these letters. A note that links us together through these unknown times. My hope is you’ll find some delight & warmth, recognition & companionship through this series.
Values That You’ll See in My Writing
Respect
Honesty, communication, & respect are of paramount importance I believe. By being open, & accepting that our individual voices matter, but may not be the same collectively, we can agree to disagree. Therefore find peace among our differences.
Responsibility
I reckon personal challenges & fresh perspectives can be good for us, even when they are difficult. We need to seek the lessons. All the while though, we must put on our big girl pants & take responsibility for ourselves & our actions.
Generosity
It’s my firm belief that the planet would be a much better place if we all gave a little back to the world however we can. I also believe that humility & generosity have powerful tenticles across our communities, families & children.
Gratitude
Little else is more valuable than having gratitude in our lives, every day. I open my eyes & I am full. It’s my hope that these writings seek out gratitude, joy, & a sense of embracing all the good this world offers.
