Hello, friends, and happy fall. I hope you’re enjoying some cooler weather and crisp breezes. Today was about 75 degrees here, and it was glorious. I’ll have to relive it in my mind as our temps climb back up the rest of the week.
Fall is a time of reflection, and for me it’s also a tough time. I don’t know why, but my anxious thoughts always seem to ramp up at this time of year. Maybe it’s because the days get shorter, or because I spend less time outside. Whatever it is, I struggle more in the cooler months of fall and winter.
But it’s also such a beautiful time of year. The holidays are coming, and memories flood my mind. Seeing my children blossom over the past year is a blessing I hope I always cherish. We’re seven weeks into our homeschool year, making memories and growing together. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by how little time I have to myself, but I really wouldn’t change it. Every day we spend together is worth more than a million I might spend by myself.
I’ve been writing my tail off on my new book, with 30k words to show for it. This story has been a challenge to write in so many ways. It’s been a little painful, to be honest, because some of my own sorrows are woven into it. But it’s also healing to put that pain into words and use it for something beautiful.
There’s not much about the story I can share right now, but I can’t wait to tell you all about it soon. For now, I’ll just say that it takes place in San Antonio and features a bookstore and an author. Maybe next time I write, I’ll have more details to divulge. Prayers for this story to come together would be much appreciated!
Until then, my other books are available on Amazon (both paperback and Kindle). If you’ve read any of them and want to share your thoughts, I would love to hear them! And I’m always grateful for reviews, because they help other people discover my books.
I pray you find joy in this last stretch of 2023. As always, thank you for supporting me and my dreams, and for your friendship most of all.
XOXO

I'm really looking forward to this new book, Kaelin! And I will be praying for you as you continue to write it!
