Fun Tip for translucent effect:
Use patterned napkins or tissue paper to put over journal entries.

Spiced Ice Coffee
Brew strong coffee Directly on spices
3 sick cinnamon
5 whole cloves
Allow to sit in fridge with spices in coffee to ruminate.
Once cold it should have a slight spice flavor.
Or double the spices if you like it spicy!
(I used creamer and whip topped with cinnamon.)
In honor of this lovely crisp weather we’ve had. Thank you Jesus! I made some spiced ice coffee because I was feeling all fall inspired!
I am a boots and sweaters type of girl and what better to go with it than some cinnamon coffee!
Plus the recipe came out of a 1940’ds cookbook, can’t go wrong with that!

I began seeing a huge difference in my life when I started practicing Gratitude.
I’v read it in a ton of books that gratitude equals joy. It’s the cornerstone of joy.
It’s the first task I was given when I began seeking help for my depression. Let me tell you when you can barely find the strength to get out of bed another day and pretend your peachy, practicing gratitude is the last thing you want to do. I was asked to write down 3 to 5 things every night.
So here is my challenge. Print the photo below and write your gratitude list. Print it 7 times and do it every night before bed! If you want to infuse joy into your life start by being grateful for the big and tiny things you already have nestled in your life.
