Color Me Raw!  Fall Into a New You!

Fall is a season for change; a time to refocus, regroup and re-energize. Now that fall is here, I challenge all of you (including myself) to make changes. 

 Fall also brings subtle changes to the human psyche and a chance to unearth more of the mysteries of living within. Spiritual awareness comes slowly, accompanied by regular meditation practices. Understanding how the seasons relate to inner well being is essential to spiritual health.  With some people, there may be a sense of sadness when the leaves begin to turn and fall. Just as fruit ripens then releases and falls to the ground, a feeling of ripeness and sadness may descend on the spirit.  A remembrance of that fruit is important. It did not just fall off the tree and decay, it spread seeds that lay still through the winter, take root in the spring, and grow and offer new fruits in the summer…life is continual.   Read more ...

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 says, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven; a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot.   In the garden and in our lives there will always be seasons of change. 

Fall signals our year is fast coming to a close and we scurry to gather in the projects and ideas for the balance of the year and bring them to a comfortable resolution so we don’t feel as if we’re falling behind.

Fall is a welcomed relief…it definitely is. It's that time of the year to sit back, relax and think about your life, where it's going and how you feel about it. Are there things you feel need to be changed? Do you need to reevaluate some things? Or, do you feel like things are great?

Change is inevitable. And, like the saying goes, the only thing constant in this world is change.

So, now that fall has arrived and everything is changing, what has changed in your life that you're dealing with? And how are you dealing with it?  Or, are there changes you feel you really need to make, regarding business or your personal life? 

Fall is the time we start to reflect inward.  Now that the summer has faded, we look back at the events that transpired in our lives during the year.  It is a time where we begin to reap the harvest we had started in the spring and put away for the winter.  This is true in our personal and professional life.

May you experience this season as a time to comfortably bring to a close certain goals, ideas and projects and include planning for what you would like to see come next.  And may you experience that you are gently “Falling Into A New You,” falling forward,  and not behind, as your heart embraces the beauty of this changing season.
