How has Fall been treating you so far? Are you the leaf falling gracefully or the one that got stuck in someone’s windshield wiper? 🍂

Spend your evening with Jack by D. Larissa Peters, a beautifully autumnal piece that captures the magic of the season in just a few moments. 🍂 Ideal for a cozy night in. ☕️

Ahh. Been there.

Do your best to stay professional, don’t let them mess your money up or push you out of position.

Blue Villa @bluevilla.org · 18d

What if you let them go too?

This song always seems to get forgotten when this season comes back around. Glad to see someone posted it.

If autumn had a soundtrack, what song would be playing in the background of your life right now? 🍂🍎

My poem, 'Forgotten,' published by @bluevilla.org in 2024. Find links to my other works at allisonwaltersluther.com.

Monotone pic of beach. Poem:
Forgotten

Days, weeks, months, years
washed by anguish and
made of sea-swept salt
until the edges are both
silk and razor

Each memory different from the others
when you lean in close,
eyes wide and searching
but as you move away
through time and life
they are all the same

Remembered only with the greatest effort
lost more often than found
smaller than grains of sand
and just as infinite

How many hourglasses of time
did it take to build the dunes
where the memories lay
forgotten?

From mortgages to memories, home ownership is more than just a key and a door. Settle in tonight with Hill of Leaves by Lisa Acri, a cozy autumn reflection on the true meaning of home. 🏡

Hill of Leaves Lisa Acri We raked the leaves from the two large maple trees in our backyard. Our eighteen-month-old daughter, Sadie, chortled and squeaked as she ran circles around us, making us laugh...

Breathe in the crisp autumn air, & let the warmth of cinnamon fill your senses. Take a stroll through the heart of fall with A Walk in the Woods by J. Fox Bedford 🍂🍎
