Write with the flowers of Winter - This Month

The Holly

Holly arrives just as winter settles in, bright and steady and quietly standing guard with her soft resilience. She reminds you that your inner light is protected, even in the coldest seasons. This month, celebrate what has endured within you, honor what still glows, and begin again in small, honest ways.


Give yourself something comforting, whether a warm drink, a soft blanket, or a moment to breathe and feel your own sparks.

Finding Daily Joy in Rose Gold Clouds and Simple Pleasures

Journal question: What is a simple pleasure that always lightens your day? Write why

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.
