You Are Only Just Beginning

Lessons for the journey ahead by Morgan Harper Nichols, autistic multidisciplinary artist, poet, and musician.

Who told you that you were not free to swim wildly into the deep? Come and find the courage to honor your soul’s divine cravings—to step out in faith knowing that goodness and grace are never far away. The unknown waits for you, and now is the time to go.

Sometimes it’s difficult to take that first step into your future and embrace the unknown. Written by popular Instagram poet and bestselling author Morgan Harper Nichols, You Are Only Just Beginning is an illustrated collection of poetry and essays that empowers you to embrace your next adventure with confidence and grace.

Drawing on invaluable lessons from nature, Morgan reimagines the classic heroine’s journey—from the very first call to adventure, through trials, hardships, and new relationships, all the way back home—and offers key lessons and affirmations to encourage and equip you every step of the way.

As you travel your own journey of self-discovery, you’re invited to:

•   Cultivate the courage you need to follow your passions
•   Develop curiosity about the natural world around you
•   Find comfort and inspiration for the inevitable trials on your journey
•   Reflect on how your past has prepared you
•   Step out in wonder and faith, knowing there is more for you

Morgan’s signature art fills every page of this book, making it a lovely gift to give yourself or others for birthdays, holidays, graduations, and New Year’s—any time there’s a new beginning ahead.

Morgan spent the first few years of her adult life as a college admissions counselor, and then as a full-time touring singer-songwriter and musician. It was on the road that she cultivated her curiosity and passion for the written word and art, and slowly began to share her art with others online.
