Thanksgiving Three Ways
Our stories today celebrate Thanksgiving in three different ways. We’ll start with Friendsgiving, rewriting the rules of tradition, and sharing food with a table full of friends as the sweet potato pies cool in the pantry. Then we’ll pack the car and head out in Over the River and Through the Woods. Cousins and dogs, a farmhouse kitchen with a dear aunt waiting to welcome you it. Finally, we’ll bundle up and walk into town to enjoy a perfect morning of floats and marching bands in At the Parade.

Cabin Stories
Our stories today are tales about a small A-frame cabin deep in the woods. We’ll visit it as fallen leaves gather in piles around the garden, then further into autumn when chill rain begins to fall, and finally a winter visit with the first deep snow of the season. We’ll spark a fire in the grate, choose a jigsaw puzzle from the stack in the closet, eat well, and sleep deep. Unwind in mind and body with the Quiet Mind x Nothing Much Happens Weighted Pillow!

Frost & Found Things
Our stories today take you down a woody trail, into the heart of downtown Nothing Much, and through to the park as the cold fog burns off. We’ll start with The Middle Path, remembering to let movement be a pleasure, and a walk in the brisk air be a reset to the senses. Then we’ll stop to watch the train come into the station, and carry a newly bought bunch of flowers home, in Bells and Whistles. Finally, we’ll rise on a chilly morning to get the paper from the front stoop and admire the ice on the windows in First Frost. Softly Softly meditation on First This. Follow us on Instagram.

Quiet Autumn Stories
Our stories today invite you to slow down and enjoy doing very little. We’ll start with The Joy of Missing Out, where we can climb back into bed after the first cup of coffee is gone and read till our eyes won’t stay open. Then, we’ll stroll to the cafe downtown and sit at the table by the window while we study the menu. And when the rain begins to fall, we’ll be glad we’ve got a Table for One. Finally, we’ll slide our umbrella in the stand at the front door and put the big pot on the stove, in A Rainy Day, Making Soup. And if you stay around after the last story, I have some book recommendations for you, as well as my usual ramblings.
