Shorter Days

Shorter days
In the fall we have deep vibrant colors and shorter days. It means that we must adapt to a new rhythm and routine.

 The thing about shorter days is that I tend to look for ways to find comfort.
My go to practice is in food, fabrics, and friends.

Food.
Fall is all about recipes. New ways to make comfort filled old favorites. I hate following recipes but love the inspired guidance they yield.
I think I bake most in the fall. It's also the perfect time for soul stirring soups.
Food is a vibe and fall elevates it. Just ask a pumpkin spice lover. (I am not, but I get it)
Food creates cozy comfort.

Fabrics.
Listen. I LOVE FASHION! Fall is the most exciting fashion season because of layered fabrics. 

Sweater Weather is a whole frequency of the fashion gods. Silks, Tweed, Cotton, Cashmere, and Poly Blends all bursting in spectrums of Fall color.

Not to mention FALL IS FOR ACCESSORIES!
Hats, gloves, scarves, and tights all accompany a mood. Don't get me started on furs and leather! (Sorry not sorry)

Recently, I've invested in some updated decor. The pillows and throw blankets completely elevate a space. Fabrics and Fashion create cozy comfort. Even if it's just in your confidence.

Friends.
As creation hunts and gathers for hibernation, I think our spirits do as well.
This past week I was able to talk with some dear folks that filled my bucket. Some of my more cherished relationships are from folks I rarely see. They always pour into me with love, and I'm ever grateful. Friends are the ultimate cozy comfort.

As the days get shorter, we spend less time frolicking. We yearn for structure and substantial comfort. I always find great pleasure in food, fabrics, and friends. I hope as your harvest moon rises, you are able to as well. As your daylight gets shorter, may your comforts increase.

Abundance Always
❤️ Bliss

Sing Unto the Lord

  Sing Unto the Lord This was the name of the songbook in the Pentecostal Church I grew up in. It was my favorite songbook.   It was the only songbook I knew. During COVID, I ordered a copy of it to teach my children the hymns I grew up singing. To my dismay, the organization changed the songs that were listed. It was an abbreviated version of my childhood memory. Singing has always been one of my favorite things.  It makes me happy.   I love music, and I love to sing. I always wanted to be a jazz soloist. I don’t have a strong soloist voice, but I can carry a tune.   I’m an efficient backup/choir singer. It never stopped me from grabbing the mic in church or at Karaoke. Most of my adult life I’ve sat on the back pew and absorbed the goodness of God.   During covid, we weren’t going to church at all. No one was. I was inspired to sing and write like never before.   I’ve written so many poems and songs over the last 4 years. Most of whi...

The Universe

  This week I had a conversation with a friend.   Our paths have intertwined on various levels and paths over the years. We both have always subscribed to manifesting and abundance.   I discovered recently that she too is renewing her faith in Jesus.   We are both being revived in the faith. We discussed the layers of “new thought” and it's   place in God’s plan. She shared with me some revelations about several conversations that we’ve previously had. I thought back over my entire journey.   I grew up underneath the church pew.   As a young adult I got distracted but returned to my faith in a fringe capacity.   I permanently occupied the “backsliders’ row” on the church pew. When I was far from the cross, I missed the discipline of faith.   I missed the inspiration,  promise of abundance, and prosperity that results in   being sprit filled.   When I was introduced to meditation and  manifesting,   I found gre...

The New Yorker

    If I had to pick a publication that represented all the cool   intellectual kids and me, it would be the New Yorker.   Everything about its influence is metro and retro reminding me of my foundation for curiosity, creativity, and independent thought as a kid. Recently I had an assignment in my communications class to apply for a dream job or opportunity.   I chose The New Yorker.   It’s a brand with a meaningful past   and promising legacy.   Every contributor is brilliant in their own right, and both the contributors and guests   featured are an instant authority. Most importantly, although it is the Sunday Paper meets Life magazine, they do an extraordinary job of keeping the humanity and intrigue in the message and the work of structured journalism. You could call it “creative non-journalism.”    It’s audience and its core values are things I wholeheartedly align with.   Although the majority of its consumers are...
