Autumn is upon us!!! Autumn signals an obvious time for clearing and making way for something fresh, something new. Even the air we breathe has a renewed crispness and freshness. The grass and leaves are looking greener without the aid of water, and many flowers have come to complete fullness and have begun to shed their petals. Autumn signifies clearing, or more specifically, Autumn signifies clarity.
I invite you to get clear on some of the basics of your life. Enjoy your friends and family, get focused on something you are passionate about, and choose to learn something new as you breathe in the freshness of the fall, I invite you to relax into clarity.
“Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit.
“Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. “When you are Real, you don’t mind being hurt.”
“Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or bit by bit?”
“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”

Let’s bring our authentic natures to life! Together, we can do this if we:
Honor the truth of our lives as they are right now – our pain, our frustrations, our fury and despair as well as our caring, creativity, passion, and joy.
Become more aware of what holds us back. We need to see how we sabotage our own growth. With awareness, we create new choices for ourselves and a new reality for our lives.
Uncover and express who we are at heart – our authentic selves. Let go of doubt and fear as we accept who we really are.
Explore ways to create a new reality of fulfillment, sanity, and health for ourselves. It is all about loving ourselves enough to choose what makes us happy…what brings us peace.
