Eva’s Byte #348 – Bridges

Whether traversing a bridge over troubled waters, or burning it behind us—we still have to get to the other side of 2021 onto the uncharted territory of 2022, hoping for the best. One of the best who crossed a bridge before Christmas into the parallel realm of Heaven, is my dear friend, Renee.

Renee Gauthier was a mentor to those in the Indie author community on Facebook. One of the co-founders of The Indie Writers’ Cooperative, she and Joanne Van Leerdam spearheaded a group “dedicated to the encouragement and support of our fellow Indie Authors.”

I’d first met Renee and the others who would form the Indie Fabs (Aliya DalRae, Jeannie JB Richards, Aryl Shanti, and Joanne Van Leerdam) in 2016. Newly published after a ten-year hiatus, and out of the social media loop, it was with fear and trepidation that I signed up for a holiday author event held at the Cooperative. I recall Renee privately messaging each author to cue us in and to offer words of encouragement at a time when such events were just coming into their own on social media.

The Indie Writers’ Cooperative was just one venture where Renee excelled for dispensing her vast knowledge of the industry on behalf of Indies.

Due to her creative endeavors and enterprises, she leaves behind an impressive legacy on this side through her amazing cover designs. She designed covers for my Nonfiction Memoir and Novella.

And, her memorable books. I have a special place in my heart for Renee’s Christmas Miracle series which evolved from her love of Christmas. She had so many more projects in the works.

Most importantly, Renee has made inroads in my heart and has left indelible impressions in my mind for her endearing friendship, encouraging words, sense of humor, and unwavering support.

Crossing the bridge into the New Year, I’m traveling light from my resolve to leave unwanted baggage behind. Coming with me in 2022, are the cherished memories retained of loved ones on earth and in the heavenly realm where Renee’s dreams now have wings to fly.
Best wishes to all for renewing faith and hope along the journey of 2022.

My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
