Autumn... a season of change and renewal. A time where all dead things are to be let go, allowing for new growth to take place. As nature experiences release, we will accept this fate as well as we face new beginnings and new obstacles start to appear in our lives. Autumn welcomes routine and productivity all while encouraging rest and comfort. It reminds us of the balance we must keep in our lives between busy and relaxed.
Now, as the crisp cool air starts to fill the outdoors, I encourage you to find a cozy spot in your home, take out your journal and let your mind experience rest and release.
