– Lauren Destefano

Life Starts All Over
“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the Fall.”
— F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
I don’t ususally add to posts after the have gone up, but today is an exception. I love Fall. This might seem strange for someone living in vacation land, but the cooler weather signals the beginning of a quieter time here at the lake.
Life does start over for me when the people, noise and flurry of activity of summer go away and the peace and quiet of autumn and winter set in. This is the time I return “home,” In the outer sense by cleaning the house, baking and making warm comforting soup, and taking care of my myself and my little family. Bur Fall is also a time to come home in the spiritual sense by turning inward and listening to Spirit.
As I sit here on this morning with outdoor temps in the 30’s wrapped up in a blanket, sipping hot peppermint tea and listening to quiet I wish you well. May the peace and quiet of Autumn be with you.
Lessons of Autumn
Each season of the earth and of life it’s own unique lessons to teach us. The lessons of autumn center around embracing change and learning to let go of that which no longer serves us.
I am an autumn and winter person. I love the colors, the cooler air and the crunch of leaves under my feet. Living at the lake things get busier and we have more people around during spring and summer. So I also enjoy the peace and quite of the colder months. What is autumn teaching you?
Please join me this month as we explore the lessons of autumn.
Keep Planting Those Seeds

We may never know how these seeds spread and grow in the lives of others, but we can feel them growing within our selves. So go our there and scatter some seed.
