A Change Is In The Air
Waking to the goodness of life
I woke this morning in Southern California to a chill in the air. It wasn’t enough to close the window or grab a sweater yet. Though the small shift excited my body and mind.
Growing up in Michigan with its rich and abundant seasons, I absolutely love Autumn. My love for the seasons, and especially Autumn, only grew into my adulthood with years of living in the majestic mountains of Colorado, embraced by the beauty of the fluttering golden Aspens. If you have yet to experience the foliage of Colorado in Autumn, I highly recommend it.
To me, Autumn is the sound of crunchy leaves under my feet, and the array of fading colors, green, yellow, orange, red and brown filling the tapestry of trees and blanketing the earth. Autumn is chilly mornings and evenings with steaming warm beverages wrapped in my hands, watching the dance of the sun and the moon. Autumn is the smell of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, all spice, apples, pumpkins, and the crisp snap of the wind. For me, Autumn is rejuvenating and exciting.
The change from Summer to Autumn embarks upon a time of slowing down and tuning inward to reify parts of us we are ready to shift within ourselves. While there is still quite some time in Southern California before the essence of Autumn truly arrives, my body knows a different pulse. Every August, even in the extreme heat and humidity of a coastal location, my body begins to signal to me it’s time for Autumn — time for change! Do you feel this too?
Waking today to the twinge of Autumn enlivened my being, adding a spark to all the wonderful upcoming Autumn offerings and events that are unfolding. In the coming weeks I’ll be rolling out the opportunities in their entirety. Needless to say, I am excited to share them with you.
