 With the heat of these last days of August pulsing against our skin, we are forced to slow down. It is the last sigh of summer before things change and a new school year begins. Hopefully you found some time to listen to the sounds of the Circada calling from the trees and to take a nap in a hammock with a good book spread across your chest.
Even if you don’t have children, the shift is felt–the season is changing. It is time for a new beginning; a chance to start fresh. I remember the excitement of wondering what my teacher would be like, which friends would be in my class and preparing a special outfit to represent my one-year-older self. Here in the Northeast, the leaves are beginning to express colors of gold and red, and the early droppers are already falling. Yes, a turn of the season is a time to reflect and plan what’s next, what changes are coming and what we want to make happen. “The doors we open and close each day So how about you? What’s next for you? What do you want to complete or begin before the end of 2010 to make it a year to remember? |

Thanks Amy–I hear you!
