Chasing Rainbows
Chasing Rainbows | Kathleen Long
41 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Things aren t looking so good for Bernadette Murphy. With the breakup of her marriage, the sudden death of her father, and the announcement of her best friend s pregnancy, Bernadette finds herself careening toward rock bottom. So why stop short? She quits her job, gets herself banned for life from the mall, and goes on a late-night infomercial spending spree. To top it all off, her dog gets kicked out of obedience school again. Just when she thinks there s nothing left for the universe to throw at her, she discovers the one thing she needs the most: a reminder of her father s love. In the book of cryptograms he left behind, Bernie s father helps guide her through the pain that s consuming her. With each solved puzzle, her father s encoded lessons give Bernie the courage to face life head-on. And as her father always said, In life, you either choose to sing a rainbow, or you don t. For Bernie, the singing is about to begin."

Instead of a #rainbowstack here‘s a rainbow necklace I made over the weekend. In light of recent events and the current climate, I felt it was necessary. #literaryluck

#FindARainbow #HopIntoSpring - I‘m so glad Litsy is back up and running! I couldn‘t find a real rainbow despite it raining here all day, there was no sun to help a rainbow appear! ☔️ These are my sort of rainbow shelves! I don‘t organise by colour much but I like it on small shelves! 🌈🌈🌈

TODAY'S PROMPT: RAINBOW

A rainbow of colors.

This photo is my trademark. 😍😍😍

When you see this rainbow of painted houses, you know it is Silver‘s Reviews. 😍😍😍

I took this photo when we visited Portree, Scotland, and I have adopted it for my blog and all my social media.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Love it!! So beautiful 😍 7y

It got to be good luck when the double rainbow ends in your parking lot, right?

TheRiehlDeal Then you must have your self a lucky parking lot. And don't be surprised if you find a Lepracahn with a pot of gold waiting for you. 😂 7y
