Write with the three flowers of Autumn
The Aster
The aster shows up just as the seasons start to turn—quietly confident, with a pop of color. This month, write with the aster as your reminder that it’s never too late to begin again. Start small, write what’s real, and see what blooms.
Reward yourself with a little something lovely—a fresh flower, a cozy tea, or time to just be.
Patience, Royalty, Transition
The Marigold
Bright, bold, and full of spirit—the marigold adds a little fire to the fall. Write with this flower when you’re craving a creative spark. Be honest, be weird, be brave. Marigolds don’t hide their color, and neither should you.
Afterwards, treat yourself to something golden—whatever feels like a little celebration for showing up.
Comfort, Rituals, Guidance
Chrystantemums
Chrysanthemums are the steady bloomers, holding on even as the air gets colder. Write with this flower when you need something gentle to lean into. Let your words be soft or strong—whatever they need to be today.
When you’re done, pause. Light a candle, hold a warm mug, or give yourself a quiet nod. You wrote. That matters.
Honesty, Joy, Loyalty
Never miss a flower
