The season changes, the leaves fall, the colors turn, and I come to the end of my season of healing.

I healed, first, from Covid. 🤒

Then, I healed from an extreme case of food poisoning. 🤮

And finally, after a few months, I healed from heartbreak. Back during the peak of summer, I had to end a romantic relationship that was incredibly toxic and unhealthy. Maybe some people can accept that kind of relationship, but not me, because I love and respect myself. ❤️

I’m so grateful to feel good again…to feel HAPPY again…to be standing in my integrity and only accepting what I deserve again. I’m enjoying my freedom, independence, and PEACE. 🙏🏻

Best of all — I’m CREATING again. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

So what will be happening on my blog and other media? Well…

…in the near future, you’ll see one of my projects (photo above) emerge on my YOUTUBE page. I’m going to be shifting how I share with the world in the months to come.

But if you’ve followed my blog for years, don’t worry…there will still be blog posts every now and then. ✍🏼 This blog has played such a large part in my life for so long — I can’t imagine life without it. 😂

For now, I’ll leave you with some photos from the end of summer/beginning of fall…

Recent Photo Moments

It was time to harvest my fruits/vegetables. The blueberries did okay this year, the lettuce was pretty good…but the cucumbers! Who knew?…I’m the Cucumber Queen! 👸🏻 ⬇️

⬆️ My cats remain unimpressed by my cucumber abilities. 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛ 😆

My Lana turned 2️⃣5️⃣. Twenty-five!! 🤯 ⬇️

Remember when she used to appear on the blog and she was so LITTLE? 🥲 ⬇️

When it’s GOLDENROD season in my yard… ⬇️

My dear “GREEN” came to visit! He’s been one of my very best friends since we attended college together in the early 90’s. He brought gifts and took me out to cheer me up after all the chaos I’d been through. So thankful for Green… ⬇️

🎶 Bluegrass jammin’ in the Hummer…that’s Green. 😆

⬇️ Snapshots around Malvern. ⬇️

⬆️ Most of the above photos were shot on FILM 🎞. 120 film, to be exact…using the Holga 120n camera.

Which reminds me — here’s my latest film baby:

⬆️ She’s the PRAKTICA mtl 50 vintage camera, produced in Germany in 1985. Mostly metal, she feels hearty and wonderful. Shoots 35 mm film, and I hope to show some of my first developed pictures soon. 💫

It’s almost here — my favorite holiday!!! #Halloween 🎃👻 I’ve been enjoying cozy mornings and evenings next to my beautiful fireplace, with coffee, a good book, baked goodies…and sometimes horror films, of course! 😱

Vacation Snapshots

Once my heart and body had healed, it was time to head out for adventures, exploration, and more creative inspiration…

⬇️ Vacation historic home vibes… 💙

⬆️ Such personality and beauty this place had! I can’t STAND a completely white, colorless place — it feels clinical, cold…it lacks personality, warmth, and charm. Give me history and give me COLOR…every time! 👏🏼💙❤️💛💚

Some sights and scenes… ⬇️

Traveling gives me LIFE. I felt so much better afterward.

The cats were not happy with me when I returned home. Any time I leave them, I come home to GRUMPY GIRLS. ⬇️ 😾😾 😅

For now, I’m getting settled back into routines and finishing up some writing and recording (video). And soon…more vacation (starting in November) and more travel/adventures…

Until we meet again…stay kind, stay cozy, stay creative…

xo, Jenn ☺️
