As summer begins to fade and autumn takes its place, leaves turn yellow and dry to drop from trees, we see nature surrender to the inevitable change that is life. Nothing stays the same. Everything changes…you can count on that!

This is a reminder for reflection and taking stock on our own lives…Where are we? not literally, but symbolically in life? What have you done or lived? What remains to be done? How are you living? Is it the way you want to live? Are you happy? Have you loved? Are you grateful? Are you even here, that is present to your ever changing, evolving life and the inescapable ticking of time?

As the leaves begin to fall, the days shorten, and temperatures slowly become cooler, give yourself a gift. Take time to take stock on your life, how you are living, and how you want to live.There are some things it is better not to procrastinate on…The clock continues to tick and none of us know how long we have…

Start now. Carpe Diem …seize the day. Sit down quietly with yourself in nature if possible, look within, and ask, where am I ? Is it where I want to be, or have I gotten sidetracked, detoured, lost, caught on the treadmill of ‘shoulds’, or dominated by fear of what others think or might say ? Be honest, And if you need a guide or someone to listen and support, reach out. Be brave. You have one precious life. Live it!
