Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Lessons of Autumn

The crunch of leaves

beneath my feet

are more than just a reminder

that the weather is cooling

and the season is changing

They remind us

that good things must die

even healthy things

sometimes fall away

but not to fade forever

to come back new and fresh some day

About Me

An obsessive journaler who loves meeting others along their journey and giving them a hand to hold through pieces of writing. I write about the heartbreaks of life and the joys, the ups and downs, and I often learn my greatest lessons and miracles from nature.
