Autumn Aesthetics


Cozy fall days have arrived, and I'm all in.
Between teaching high-school English, navigating an ever-morphing real estate market, and eking out times to meet a writing deadline before autumn's end, I crave spare moments to linger. The lessening of daylight outside has been giving way to homey glows of lamplight inside, making my soul breathe differently. Deeply. Each season holds unique enchantments, and low-lights that linger like these are some of fall's best highlights.
Autumn is also prime time for cozying up with a hot drink, favorite blanket, and captivating read. Holidays are on the horizon, and Jesus, the Meaning of the season, is beckoning me to come and sit awhile with him. If you too would love a devotional to warm your days, here are a few collaborations I've been working on with Guideposts Books. Four are with the Mornings with Jesus line, and Inspiration from the Garden is one that released earlier this year after several years in the making. Click to order, and be refreshed by the light that Jesus is for us through every season. Thanks for stopping by.
