A Dose Of Inspiration 🖤
A little magic to spark your soul—poetry, musings, and things I couldn’t keep to myself.
I hope you found moments of peace, gratitude, and maybe even a little magic yesterday. After the whirlwind of Thanksgiving, today feels like the perfect time to pause and reflect. Life moves quickly, but we can find stillness in the spaces between the noise—whether in the quiet of a morning or through the words we share. This week, I wanted to offer something to carry you through the weekend—a reminder of what’s worth holding onto, and what we can let go. Here’s to the moments that matter most ✨
Quote of the Week:
”We are all fools in love.” —Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
Love has a way of making us do things we never expected. It pulls us in unexpected directions, leaving us vulnerable and open to both joy and heartache. Jane Austen captured this beautifully, reminding us that in love, we all take risks. The beauty lies not in perfection, but in how we embrace the folly of our hearts.
Currently Listening:
"Smoldering Fire" by Ural Thomas & The Pain
This song is a soulful, electrifying anthem that speaks to the raw, burning emotions we all feel when passion takes over. It's a reminder that love, in all its forms, can ignite something powerful within us, something that lingers long after the flame fades.

Inspired By:
Ollie Smither’s illustrations are a stunning reminder of the beauty found in both the natural world and the moments that inspire us. With a fine line style that captures the essence of his travels and outdoor adventures, Ollie transforms personal experiences into works of art that are as intimate as they are striking. His attention to detail and the way he brings the world to life through his drawings serve as an inspiration to embrace the journey, celebrate the small moments, and find beauty everywhere.
Writing Tips:
Writing and publishing a book is a journey—one filled with excitement, challenges, and countless lessons along the way. For anyone daring to turn their dreams into printed pages, staying organized and intentional can make all the difference. Here are a few tips I’ve gathered to help you bring your story into the world and share it with those who need it most.
Map the Journey: Create a timeline for the publishing process. Deadlines may feel daunting, but they’re the compass that keeps your dreams on track.
Protect Your Words: Know your rights and read every contract carefully. Whether it’s with publishers, editors, or agents, understanding the legal side ensures your story stays yours.
Celebrate the Milestone: Plan a book launch that feels as magical as the words inside. A well-crafted event can ignite excitement and introduce your story to the world.
Gather Credibility: Seek reviews and endorsements from readers, bloggers, or influencers who resonate with your message. Their words can amplify yours and help your story find its audience.

New Book Bundle
The Gift Of Words
This season, I wanted to offer something special for those who find beauty in words and solace in stories. I’m thrilled to share the Gift of Words Holiday Bundle—a collection of three books that hold my journey of love, loss, and everything in between. With LVOE., LVOE. Volume II, and The Best of Atticus Poetry Collection, this bundle is more than pages; it’s a reminder of what it means to feel deeply. Whether it’s for yourself or someone who could use a touch of poetry, I hope these words find their way to a heart ready to listen.
As we step into this season of gratitude, I want to thank you for being part of this journey with me. Your support, your words, and your connection to the poetry remind me why I write. I hope yesterday brought moments to be thankful for and that today holds space for reflection and inspiration. Let’s keep chasing beauty together, one word at a time.
See you next Friday 🌙
