Autumn

To me, autumn is a wondrous season. It is a time of transition, a time of change and a time to renew myself spiritually.

The beauty that comes with this season is just breathtaking. To watch as the trees transition from green, to yellow, oranges, reds...   



It's a lot like our life isn't it? We  live in cycles, ever changing, one completely different than the last or the next. 


I find myself getting lost in the colors of the season, the idea of change, the new chapters in my life yet to come and all of the possibilities that surround me. 



I thank God for all that He has given me, and my family, and for giving us such a beautiful season to live. 


However, it can be a bit overwhelming at times. It's hard to focus in on just one thing that I want to change, to do, to accomplish...

There are so many things I have yet to do, that I want to do, where do I start? It can be hard to take that first step.


Seasons change so quickly, just as life moves us forward so quickly. 



But if we never take that first step, if we never explore the possibilities or take a chance and venture down an unfamiliar path now and then, we may never know the wonderful things He has in store for us around the bend. 



Don't let life pass you by. Open your eyes to the season that surrounds you now. Take time to dream about your life and think of ways to make your wishes and your dreams come true. Step out in faith and take a chance on an unfamiliar path. 

I enjoy soul searching, evaluating my life and realizing that I have so much more to offer, to accomplish, to achieve. 


Setting it all in motion, taking that first step, looking at what you have to do to get there...that is the hardest part. 



But you can do it! Believe in yourself, trust in God, and have faith in Him and in YOU. There is no obstacle you cannot overcome. He will never lead you down a path that doesn't give you strength, or skills or wisdom to conquer what's ahead; and it is never to late to start something new.  

After all, we are the authors of our own lives. 

Find what inspires you. Overcome your "writers block" those obstacles that are slowing you down. Surround yourself with people that will encourage you and help you write those new chapters in your life. Don't be afraid to separate yourself from the people that pull you down. 

Do those things that make your heart sing, your soul breathe and your spirit feel alive. It is a time to write a few new chapters in your life!

Find your inspiration!















As I sit looking out my office window, anxiously awaiting the full arrival of fall, I am reminded of nature's beauty.


Fall is my most favorite time of year. The leaves are starting to change, the air starts to get crisp and everything just starts to come to life in a whole new way. Not to mention I get to pull out my boots and sweaters! Yes!


I love being outdoors this time of year. As you walk along a path the leaves make that wonderful crunching sound beneath your feet, then smell of the leaves hits you, and for me, it just makes me smile.





I am savoring every day and watching as the leaves go from green to beautiful golds, oranges and reds. Mmmmmm I love it!




I hope that you have time to get outside today and enjoy this wonderful time of year! I am heading that way as soon as I post this!

OK this is not out my office window, but in a farmers field close by.
I just love this picture, I can almost smell the leaves!
 A little poem to get you in that autumn mood...



The wind rocks the trees with its sweet lullaby
The branches they sway back and forth to its cry.

The leaves how the flutter
and dance as they fall.

The earth that's beneath me
let's out a great call.

Breathe in the smell
then let out a sigh.

Feel the kiss of the wind
and be in awe just as I.



Have a fantastic fall day!
