When you read my new book, A Lovely Life, I hope it inspires you to step into your home and leave the outside world’s stress behind the door. You deserve a lovely life. A lovely life isn’t about having everything; it’s about discovering peace, joy and beauty in the small, everyday moments—those little details that might only be noticed by you and the people you love.
I’ve invited a few blogging friends to host fun giveaways and to share what makes their lives feel more lovely. They’ll join me today and Thursday for the Lovely Life Book Tour, and I’m delighted they’re participating. You’ll meet lovely women and find a giveaway at every stop—enter them all!
I’ll list the tour participants later in this post. Each stop includes a giveaway, so be sure to enter them all!
Over the years I’ve learned to savor simplicity and beauty through seasons of anxiety, an autoimmune diagnosis, loss and the everyday challenges of life. I wrote about those seasons in my book Dwelling and in my journal Dwelling Well. Choosing to notice ordinary beauty—putting on rose-colored glasses, as it were—has been part of my healing and has helped me grow in gratitude.
Embracing sustainable rhythms at home helps me stay present and appreciate what brings joy each season, even amid difficult times. I hope the desire to cultivate your own lovely life resonates with you as well.
A lovely life isn’t unattainable. It’s for everyone. It’s about savoring simple pleasures at home and slowing down to a more soul-filling rhythm so we can actually breathe and notice the things that make life beautiful to us.
My new book, A Lovely Life, isn’t a how-to manual. How you make life lovely is up to you—each person finds beauty in unique ways. My hope is that the book’s gentle encouragement will spark ideas and help you choose mindsets that let you savor your own version of a lovely life.
You can pre-order A Lovely Life today (you won’t be charged until the book ships). Pre-orders mean a great deal to me as an author, and there’s a special gift for those who pre-order by May 17th.
I created the Lovely Life Seasonal Planner as a companion resource for readers. It’s a downloadable tool available immediately when you pre-order, so you can begin planning your seasons before the book arrives.
Order the book, then follow the instructions to download your planner and receive a complimentary botanical art print you can use in a notebook, on your wall, or on an inspiration board.
I’ve written eleven books about home and how to feel your best there. If the simplicity of these ideas resonates with you, you may find helpful inspiration in my other titles—each speaks to different seasons and needs in life.
Enjoy the tour posts and be sure to enter each giveaway this week, including a grand prize featuring a set of my books.
