My Precious Beauty

Hey my lovelies, unfortunately due to the hurricane effects that are hitting my area of Alabama I will not be in attendance at Foothills Book Fest today. This was not an easy decision especially if you know everything that's been going on at home but our safety and the safety of the new truck is really important but we will see you all in Sarasota November 7th

Hey lovelies!

Unfortunately, I have some unexpected news to share. Earlier this week, I was involved in a truck accident where my truck flipped while carrying most of the books I had already made and prepared for my upcoming shows.

Because of that, I’ve had to make some difficult cancellations and changes to my upcoming event schedule. As of right now:

----- Alabama this weekend: Unfortunately, we will NOT be able to attend.

----- Tennessee – LORE: Currently tentative. I’m looking into whether I can borrow a truck and still make it happen.

----- Next month’s events: Both are currently up in the air. It will depend on whether I’m able to secure a truck, how much inventory I’m able to salvage, and whether I can make enough new merchandise in time.

A huge part of the problem is that my trunks were loaded with books in the back of the truck when it flipped. I haven’t even been able to fully go through everything yet to see what can be salvaged and what unfortunately cannot. On top of that, all of my displays were damaged as well, so those will need to be remade or replaced before I can get back on the road.

It’s definitely not the update I wanted to give you all, and I’m incredibly sorry to anyone who was looking forward to seeing us at one of these upcoming events. 💔

I’m doing everything I can to rebuild, remake, and salvage what I can so that we can get back out there as soon as possible.

But one thing is certain:

✨️✨️ We WILL be in Sarasota, Florida throughout November! And we’ll be heading to the Carolinas in December for OMB!

I’ll keep everyone updated as I know more about the other events. Thank you all so much for your patience, understanding, and continued support while I navigate this unexpected mess. It means more than you know. ❤️

Now… back to rebuilding the book hoard. 📚

Mindful Monday Journal post

As we find ourselves in the middle of moving, this week offers an opportunity to slow down and become more mindful of what we choose to carry with us—both physically and emotionally.

Moving through our belongings can bring up memories, emotions, and moments of nostalgia. As we sort through each item, let’s take a moment to ask ourselves whether it is something we truly use, need, or value. Some things may have served an important purpose in the past but may no longer fit into our lives or hold meaningful significance for us today. Releasing these items does not mean we are letting go of the memories connected to them. It simply allows us to create more space for the life we are living now and the life we are moving toward.

As you organize, pack, and declutter, try to approach the process with patience and gratitude rather than guilt or pressure. Notice what feels easy to release and what feels more difficult. Give yourself permission to keep only the things that support, inspire, or bring genuine meaning to your life.

Reflect on the following:

What items do I use and appreciate regularly?
What am I holding onto out of habit, guilt, or fear?
Which belongings no longer reflect who I am or the life I want to create?
What memories can I honor without needing to keep every physical reminder?
How might letting go of unused or meaningless things create more peace and space?
What do I want my new home to feel like?
What am I ready to leave behind as I begin this next chapter?
As you move through the process, remind yourself that decluttering is not about having less for the sake of less—it is about making room for what truly matters.

This week, I am mindfully choosing to release __________ so I can make more space for __________.

Fantasy Friday :
You wake up in a tower made of ice, surrounded by endless snowdrifts. A single raven, with feathers like obsidian, lands on your windowsill and speaks your name. What does it tell you, and what journey does it lead you on? Write a scene as you follow the raven into a world of frost and magic.

Recipe Wednesday :
Think of a dish you've tasted from another part of the world—maybe a fragrant curry from India, a delicate pasta from Italy, or a spiced tagine from Morocco. Write down the full recipe in your journal, and then describe the first time you tasted it—where you were, who you were with, and how it transported you to that place. Let your recipe and memory take you on a journey around the world.

Travel Tuesday :
Think back to a place you visited that changed you—perhaps a bustling city, a quiet village, or a hidden mountain trail. What did you see, feel, or learn in that moment? Describe that place and how it stays with you today

Mindful Monday :
Sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and take three deep, steady breaths. Now, recall a moment from your day when you felt completely at ease—maybe the warmth of sunlight on your skin, the sound of a distant bird, or a simple sip of tea. Describe that moment in rich detail—how it looked, felt, and lingered in your mind. Let that peace guide you into the rest of your day.
