are you living with the season?

It was a warm sunny day (4 days ago) when I took this photo and today we are expecting mountains of snow. Christmas decorations are going up around town, holiday music is on repeat at the grocery store, Santa has taken up residence at the mall....And I still have my pumpkins out. 

I have made it my mission for the past few years to be extra intentional about how I spend my mid-October to mid-January time and energy. 

I am cautious about what I volunteer for, the trips I plan, the shopping I do, the parties I attend...so that I don't get overwhelmed or burnt out. So that I actually enjoy the season. So that I start the following year stronger, healthier, and more empowered than the last.

This year I'm adding in something I call the "Self Care Dare." 

Autumn is all about harvesting (stocking up, if you will) and preparing for winter. So this month, I invite you to join me. 

Let's stock up, fill our reserves, and nourish the body, mind, and spirit.
