I don't know about you, but it's been a crazy busy summer...and now, somehow, summer isn't here anymore. I always feel a twinge of sadness during this seasonal transition, but also a sense of excitement because fall is the ultimate marker of new beginnings.

As we move into the last few months of the calendar year things can get pretty hairy. The holidays are just around the corner, after all. Scary, I know. But there's no reason to get crazy. Fall comes every year and it is such a beautiful time. So make sure to slow down, take a few deep breaths, and enjoy it. No matter how busy you are. Nature puts on a great show for us and the least we can do is acknowledge her beauty. And a little thank you wouldn't hurt, either.

Happy first day of Fall.

to sit  and  watch  the leaves turn."
