Happy Fall !

I've always been more of a spring/summer girl, but now that I live where winters aren't freezing I've grown more fond of the turning inward energy of fall/winter.

Plus it's finally Libra season which means my birthday is just around the corner. ¡Wepa!

Fall is a great time to take a breath or make one last push towards your 2021 ambitions before the emotional whirlwind that often comes with the holiday season arrives. 

Hit reply & let me know: what's one thing you can knock out before Thanksgiving or before 2022? And how can you set aside time for rest before the hustle and bustle of the holidaze?

To honor the change in seasons, I've included links to fall poems, prompts, and picture books below.

Also, if you haven't already, go ahead and grab your copy of Words or Water -- which turned 5 a few weeks ago!

Five years ago, a box full of my chapbook Words or Water arrived at my doorstep.

I was very pregnant and ready to meet my first baby and become a mother. My book party wouldn't happen for another 6 months. All to say it was a special, emotional time for this writer Mama.

This month I celebrate this little collection, this chapbook length ode to my 20s. Help me celebrate Words or Water's 5th birthday by grabbing a copy of the collection for yourself or for someone you love:
