“Books are a uniquely portable magic.” ~ Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
I have been holding onto a secret for a while now. Waiting patiently for when the timing was right. Not my timing, but universal timing. Like a garden we have to wait patiently while our seeds germinate and grow into a full grown flower, blooming profusely.
And like that garden seed, another seed was germinating several years ago when a wonderful blogger friend, Beth Stetenfeld, blogging at PlantPostings, and I discussed a what if scenario.
And so we met once and fertilized the seed of an idea until it began to grow, small roots beginning. And then the first leaves, and more until it filled in nicely. And now it is about to bloom.
What is it? This beautiful creation….our book. A Journey of Seasonal Wisdom set to launch on or around April, 22, 2026. You can read more about it on my book page. As with any project, there can be slight delays and so the launch date is a bit loose at this point. Once we have a confirmed date, I will post it on the book page.
I am using hellebores to symbolize new beginnings and hope. These are flowering abundantly in my garden. I decided to cut a few and float them in my favorite antique dish.
With this sweet little vase, I am linking in with the wonderful meme, In A Vase On Monday, from Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.
