Books read in this video:
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
The Lost Spells by Robert Macfarlane & Jackie Morris
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
The vegan pumpkin bread recipe I followed (but I didn't add the full amount of sugar): www.noracooks.com/vegan-pumpk...
The moon light I use is called a "Moon Lamp." It was a gift from a loved-one and so I'm not sure where it's from. That beings said, if you google "Moon Lamp" they're available so many places!

Morgan friend, I cannot express how grateful I feel for your existence - your videos are ways of saying to myself “Life is worth living: art heals, tea soothes your soul, books are shelters”. Whenever life feels to suffocating, I remember that there’ll always be some Morgan to watch and books to read. Thank you. 🌻🍁🐿🍂☕️

This is so beautiful. Thank you for finding these things in my videos-- the essence you've described is very intentional on my part. I've been in a place in life where I couldn't stand myself and felt so so so lost. I want to hug past me and everyone else going through the same things and help them feel self-love and find comfort in life no matter their circumstances 🌻

The part about seeing the dawn reminded me of some beautiful memories. When I was a new mom with a very young child, I hated the lack of sleep and dreaded how there was no distinction between day and night for me anymore - a special kind of loneliness that lived in those extra long, dark nights - except the dawn. I remember each day seeing the light seep into the world. And each day I would pause, watching the grey light brighten into a new day, marvelling at its beauty. Sleep deprivation is hard on me, but those moments gave me strength for the day ahead. Taught me the power of hope. Thanks for the memories!

Also Rebecca is a fantastic read! I was struck by how bad that marriage was - more of a horror novel for me on what it means to marry someone so aloof (I mean, the guy's name was De Winter - no warmth even in his name) and how oddly empty marriage can be. My favorite character was Rebecca herself - and she's dead! Masterful how a dead character can have more force and life than a character still alive.

You really are such a sweet soul. Fall (or Autumn to us Brits) is the most beautiful time of the year, my favourite time, and thank you for those wonderful drone shots from above, looking down at all the wonderful colours below, where you live. Today is a windy wet day in Devon, England, and the clocks went back an hour here last night, so it is a day of cuddles with Madge my black rescue greyhound, and snuggling down maybe to some arts and crafts. I am reading The Secret Society Of Irregular Witches at the moment, and enjoying it lots. Also reading The Enchanted Life and Run For You Life, which is about two rescue greyhounds, so close to my heart! Hope you all have a lovely day, wherever you are. Blessings from Devon, England. xxx

loved rebecca, if you want to "learn" more about rebecca's character, there is a spiritual prequel/sequel to the original book called rebecca's tale by sally beauman. its tone is reminiscent of the original rebecca, and i found it to be very interesting since i always wanted to know more about rebecca when i read du maurier's book. i think some people objected to the way beauman paints rebecca in a more sympathetic light, but i found it refreshing.

And gosh the part where you're gazing at the moon with a light source it really reminds me of my favourite book 'The girl who drank the moon'! Just the dark background with a dim lighting just makes me think of the cover of my favourite book! 🌕 Anyway hope you have a great week ahead!
