Hello Autumn
Welcome to the best time of the year!
To the coming of autumn.
Of leaves raining down around you, crunching them under your feet. Of crisp mornings and cool nights. Of fires & candles & blankets & sweaters.
Of the peace that comes from remembering that change is not a bad thing. It isn’t scary. It’s welcoming. It restores and renews. It releases us to be free from fear.
Lord, let nothing make us afraid.
A Reflection on Decor
I used to love fall decor. I wanted to buy a bajillion pumpkins and turkeys and pillows and blankets. And I still get the temptation for a new cozy fall blanket now and then…
But this year, I am going without all the decor. On Saturday, I bought three mini pumpkins at the grocery store. They were just 89 cents a piece, and after the season is over, I can throw them away so they won’t add any clutter.
For me, that’s enough.
I encourage you to decorate to whatever degree brings you joy, but also know its okay to use what you have, bring things in from nature, or even decorate - not with things - but simply with music in your air, spices in your recipes, and photos in your frames.

Music
Speaking of music, I encourage you to create a playlist for fall and fill it with songs that help you romanticize and enjoy the season while its here. Here’s mine!
Praying you have a cozy, peaceful autumn season. Thank you for reading!
Take care,
