I spent the weekend immersed in my new autumn journal and just like that—it was over. Every Monday morning, I find myself saying to my husband, “How can it be Monday already again?”
Today on my YouTube channel, I’m sharing the first pages inside my new autumn journal with a warm-up writing technique I use when I’m feeling full of indecision. It’s a great way to get my ideas down on paper without feeling pressured. It usually takes me a few pages in a new journal to feel comfortable, but while I’m working through the inevitable learning curve, I use music, photos and videos, like the ones here from the first days of October, to spark inspiration.

A cozy Friday night. 🕯
At the very end of spring when the mornings still feel cool and the birds circle the backyard searching for the perfect addition to their nests, I like to sprinkle zinnia seeds all around outside in anticipation of the upcoming summer season. I always warn the birds, “Keep your eyes on the feeders—these seeds aren’t for you!”
Early autumn is in full bloom. I am so happy I was able to experience it over the weekend. It was so incredibly lovely. These days I am caught between a fast-paced modern life and a slow nourishing life steeped in reflection. Finding balance can be difficult at times — can you relate? I talk more about this in a new blog post at ginamakesit.com.
This year’s autumn journal is sort of a departure for me, but my journals have slowly been changing along with me, aligning themselves with the seasons and becoming a new interesting place. It’s constructed from a brown rugged 1880 Washington Irving book filled with two signatures of coffee-dyed papers, soft autumnal florals and old book pages. It’s neutral and lovely and I can’t wait to start working in it.
