As I wrote in my last post, I love beauty. Flowers, animals, architecture, quaint walkways… are some of the things I find beautiful in life. I also love the beauty of happiness in people. It is heartwarming and infectious! I want it to continue forever.
Recently, I embarked on a project I have long wished to tackle: creating a journal of self discovery, which includes space for personal entries as well as calming and beautiful floral watercolor renderings. In fact, I am creating a series of journals, with each edition having the same journal entry format but different floral displays.
I am excited to announce the first of these journals will be available within the week!
One Season at a Time is about to launch. Well, I should say the first edition - the Blue hyacinth edition - is about to launch. The next journal - the Mauve roses edition - will be out in early winter 2022.
Why did I feel so strongly about creating this?
As an author, I know the power of writing. As a former flower farmer, I appreciate the power of flowers to reach into our lives.
In the One Season at a Time series, each journal includes weekly watercolor renderings of flowers or botanical settings intended to inspire, calm, and add beauty to your life as you fill the pages.
In a 90-day undated journal (roughly one season) a full page is devoted to each day with space provided for reflections, affirmations, goals, gratitude, planning, and other daily wishes.
It is my hope that One Season at a Time will
Help you find beauty and gratitude;
Help you pause
Help you see the world with different eyes
Help you organize and grow
I have kept a journal on and off over many years. The benefits have been enormous. With a brief pause in my day and mindful reflection, I have made myself a better person, and have organized thoughts and feelings many times over.
So, stay tuned. The Blue hyacinth edition of One Season at a Time will be available for purchase online in a matter of days! I hope you’ll consider giving it a try. It would make for a nice gift, as well.
