@murphyje1 I did! But despite living in a cold province in Canada, I have nothing to wear to Mars...

[Verena Murphy @MurphyVerena]

@stephedgar87 @TamithaSkov @TweetAurora Awesome! Hopefully you post your final version of this.

The #AuroraBorealis at midnight 15 Feb 21, north of #Wainwright #Alberta. Thankfully it was “only” -24 C, as the previous two weeks were much colder. #NorthernLights #Canada @TownWainwright

@goodreads What are the most common reading challenge pledges? I feel feel like 12 (one per month) and 52 (one per week, as I usually pledge) would be common. Then maybe round numbers like 10 or 30? #RandomThoughts

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: 
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will #remember them.

[Canadian Armed Forces @CanadianForces]

Today we remember our brothers and sisters who made the ultimate sacrifice this year.

Way to go @WindsorPlywood_ at illustrating social distancing, in a way #Canadians understand. #canadianproblems

[Verena Murphy @MurphyVerena]

If you are looking for a #book that makes you sad... Ugh. #amreading The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman #booklovers #heatherspick

[Verena Murphy @MurphyVerena]

This is totally on our bucket list... Thanks for the reminder @david_gange. #kayak #WinterVibes

[David Gange @david_gange]

When all the world's an ocean!! First time sliding the slopes by surf kayak (why had I never done this before?? Definitely worth the thorn-bush scratches).

[Verena Murphy @MurphyVerena]

This #book helped get me into the Christmas spirt. I may have to give @debbiemacomber’s other books a go. Oh and all the snow from the storm helped too. #amreading #yycsnow

[Emily May @birosandarrows]

I borrowed “Starry Night” by Debbie Macomber from @Medwaylibraries because it’s set in in Alaska. I travelled around the state nearly ten years ago, and I still miss it now. I can see why people love @debbiemacomber books (this was my first)- they’re quick, warm-hearted reads.

“The goal of an author is to listen to your inside voice in writing, but to also use it as fuel in its proper perspective. You can't control every instance of your path as an author, you can only put your best foot forward, write, listen, and grow.” -Wrtr #amwriting

[Verena Murphy @MurphyVerena]

I just finished a #punny read, Let’s Never Talk About This Again by @SaraFAlterman, a painful yet hilarious memoir of her father’s diagnosis with Alzheimer’s and his attempt to revive his past career as a sex writer. #amreading #memoir

[Verena Murphy @MurphyVerena]

That was a fun little escape and it held up well considering the popularity of Ready Player One. @READYPLAYER2 #amreading

[Verena Murphy @MurphyVerena]

@stacef4ce That’s awesome. I also aimed for 52 and blew it out of the water.

[Verena Murphy @MurphyVerena]

It’s been way too long since we last dropped the #kayak(s) into the #GlenmoreReservoir. It’s easy to forget we are in the middle of the @cityofcalgary. #YYC #paddle

[Verena Murphy @MurphyVerena]

@HQstories Here’s my favourite place. (That blanket is heated.) #ShowUsYourShelves

[Verena Murphy @MurphyVerena]

@RobertEngen @TMM_yyc @ap_lane @CAF_College Your talk was excellent and on point. I’m looking forward to what you have planned for the future.

[Verena Murphy @MurphyVerena]

@BrokenRide @ericchurch @YYCSaddledome Sweet!!! It was supposed to be 8pm but he was about 20 minutes late. Nope, just him.

[Verena Murphy @MurphyVerena]

Great show by @ericchurch last night at the @YYCSaddledome. Have fun at tonight’s show Calgary! #yyc #CountryMusic
