The Book

What are you most excited about for the future?

*closes eyes*

This I speak into the Universe:

My book will be published well. It will be beautiful. It will be read. And readers will love it, enjoy it, and talk about it to others.

*burns incense* *chimes cymbal*

Daffodils 2.0

What’s your definition of romantic?

Walking through a meadow and falling in love with all the wildflowers.

Joyful moments, together.

Details, remembered.

Slow boatrides along a languid river.

Long days in sunny places.

Poetry, wine, and candlelight.

sweater weather

What is your favorite season of year? Why?

Rainy days followed by perfect sunshine. Bookshopping. Back-to-school supplies. Hot coffee in your favourite café. Crimson leaves. Golden light. That sudden sweep, rushing through the trees. Crisp mornings with baby-blue skies. Long coats. Hats, gloves, laced-up boots. The first silly socks. That hint of snow in the air. Snuggling close on benches. Woodsmoke. Rain-wet pines. Thunderstorms. Candles. Pumpkin, pecan, or sweat potato pie.

What fears have you overcome and how?

Perfectionism keeps you stuck in “what if”s.
Make mistakes, accept the frustration, try again.
