This Month | The Gladiolus
Victory
Let the Gladiolus remind you that every time you choose to return to your creative self, that’s a win. It’s not about perfection. It’s about showing up. And today, you did.

Faith
The Gladiolus grows tall without needing to see the end result. It trusts the process.
Writing can be like that too. You don’t always know where it’s going—but you show up anyway. Having faith in your words (and yourself) doesn’t mean always feeling confident. It just means you're willing to keep going, one line at a time
.

Strength
The Gladiolus reminds us that showing up counts. That holding your ground, even quietly, is its own kind of power. Writing can help you reconnect with your strength—especially the kind that’s been there all along.

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.
