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

Finding Daily Joy in Rose Gold Clouds and Simple Pleasures
Date: 7th of July 2025
Journal question: What is a simple pleasure that always lightens your day? Write why
Journal snippet | Rose gold clouds across the wide green field of wild flowers. I can feel my shoulders drop. Like the sky saying - it is okay to take a break. Breathe
Looking outside the window
The best part of having moved is the surroundings. From every view, I can see all the shades of green that nature has to offer—from single blades of grass to the heavy crowns of the trees. This view served me well the other day. I thought I was relaxing, watching television after a busy day, but when I looked up and my eyes caught the beginning of a beautiful sunset, I could feel how much pent-up energy was still residing in my body after the move.
A New Daily Simple Pleasure
That’s why the rose gold clouds came to mind for this journal question. I’ve been longing for more nature, and now that we have it, I almost forgot to welcome this new daily simple pleasure—enjoying the view.
Looking out the window lightens my day because it reminds me to slow down and breathe. It reminds me that everything has a season, and today’s beauty is here to be savored. Doing something so simple, yet so soothing, reminds me that it’s often the lightest, most simple pleasures that lift my spirit the most.
And from that serene place, I find myself wondering if perhaps a poem is waiting behind the words rose gold clouds.
