"A bonfire in a paper cup. Crackled with comfort." I read that multiple times. Each time I "ooh" and "aah"'d. These are sweet words indeed; true to your publication's name.

“Morning are mine again” made me laugh because I can’t think of a better way to describe wrapping up our editor gigs with WoP last week. 😅

Also, this is beautiful!

+1 for getting mornings back after an editing marathon 😂

"A sky stickered with a sleepy sun" is my favourite alliteration in this piece.

Hi, comments section!

This post has been quietly hiding.

Now, it's not. Say hi.

I don't know why it stuck with me when you said you love "sloooow mornings", so now reading this published articulation of that routine is a treat.

Always amazed at your ability to write with so much texture: "ground glazed with moisture", "world buttered", "sleepy sun"... it sounds, delicious?

As for the morning itself, seems like a dream come true!

Hahaha I don't know when I said this, but it seems like a thing I probably say often.

I do love sloooooOooOooOOOooOoOOOOoooow mornings. Slow rituals all day.

I was probably hungry😂

Oo your mornings sound heavenly. Now I’m craving a light roast, and I don’t drink light roast haha

I’m a fan of typewritten candies. And love your Polaroid pic, I wish mine came out that legible lol

I’m glad mornings are yours again <3

light, medium, dark---just gotta get that coffee fix!!

But light is quite vibrant. Next time, I'll get a dark roast in your honor :)

More typewritten candies for Liz. Noted!

Those pictures are truly hit or miss. That's part of the fun!
