Wow, autumn 🍂 literally dropped this year! We were down south for several days touring colleges with our youngest. It was so hot, the temperature dropped more than 30° as we drove home! The long car ride gave me a chance to reflect on the change of seasons, which is one of my favorite things. Today marks the fall equinox, an opportunity to pause and reflect ~ on what is growing and what needs to be released, the balance of light and dark, gratitude for abundance, the bittersweet contrast of waning warm summer days and crisp fall evenings. I hope you’ll take just a few moments, more if you have them, to acknowledge and perhaps even celebrate that delicate balance ~ the precarious and precious moment that is NOW. I’m not gonna lie, it’s challenging for me. I can get very caught up in what’s changing, what needs to change, what still needs to be done. That’s when coffee, prayer, nature, animals, creativity, time with my girl (who’s growing up way too fast) and so many other little tools become critical for me. I hope you can grab one of YOUR ‘tools’ today, so you can pause to enjoy the gifts in the change in seasons.
