If the children haven’t returned to school where you live, they are excitedly buying school supplies and organizing their backpacks.
Summer vacations are coming to a close, memorialized through the photos of us in bathing suits, frolicking in water.
Schedules that were thrown out for the exciting summer months are becoming reestablished.
We are still harvesting whatever we planted in the early Spring—be it plants or projects.
After a few months of being external in the world, we find ourselves coming back into the home and into ourselves.
Perhaps we even feel a little sad or melancholy, reluctant to let go of the fireworks of Summer.
This is a time of transition, a time to release what was, a time to start embracing what is coming.
With all transitions, taking stock of our learnings brings a sense of accomplishment and fullness to where we’ve been.
