Hello, I'm Diana Claire.

The leaves fell early from the trees this year, thanks to the storm that rolled through our forest, tearing out 100-year-old oak trees by their roots. And like those trees being swayed and shifted by the winds, so has my own foundation been forever changed by this equally tumultuous year.

It's been a time of deep reflection through months of isolation that, along with the changing seasons, will hopefully yield new growth and a fuller, richer life, come Spring.

Through this blog, I plan to capture, with words and art, the everyday things in life that help in my desire for a deepened faith and a focus on gratitude and service during my 50s and beyond. Sharing in the little things, and the big things of life can lead to great encouragement. A larger sense of communion through Christ, making our way through life with deeper connections, and a greater desire to make the most of our time in the Autumn of our lives.

Won't you come along?

The Beauty of Autumn encourages women in midlife to use the gifts they have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace (based on 1 Peter 4:10). My goal is to help women stop worrying if it's too late, and instead get excited about living their best Christian life from a more 

mature, wise and experienced place.
